Thanks for all the hard work. Your guides were easy to follow but unfortunately for me, thus far I've been unsuccessful. I've tried removing CWR, unrooting, repartitioning, full restore, etc.. and nothing gets me past the giant N logo.

I'm at a total loss. Any ideas? Everything was fine and was running CM7 off the SD card. I tried to make a flashable SD for CM7 nightlights which resulted in what I assume is some sort of boot corruption. I havent been able to boot into stock since, although Froyo still works. All help is greatly appreciate. Thanks again for all your patience and info.

NC 1.1

I bought a new one a few days ago, and I have seen a lot of people talking about 1.0, and 1.01, but Mine was 1.1. Does the procedure for 1.01 also work for 1.1?

Sorry, if this has been asked before. I want to be prepared for when the new 2.2 factory upgrade comes out. :cool:

1.1 Return to stock.

Thank you very much. I was thinking of doing that, and returning this, but I found the CM7 nand/eMMC thread, and am very impressed with it after installing that. I will probably keep it. I doubt that the B&N 2.2 will be better. Thanks again. :D

Could someone do me a favor... need someone to pull rombackup.zip and list files/folders that are in it....

I am in the process of fixing my mmcblk0p3... finally got the 8 failed boots working right again... but not sure what all from mmcblk0p2 are supposed to be in that rombackup.zip... initially I had copied the devconf directory from 0p2 to 0p3... then I saw the mention of rombackup.zip in this thread.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

I have a autonootered 3.0.0 Nook. However I have been mainly boothing CM7 from a SD card lately using verygreen's method.

I saw the thread about flashing roms to sd card and wanted to try HC on a sd card.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=998861

I got to the part about mount sd card partition 4 of my cm7 sd card. I tried to figure out how to get the file onto that partition us Nook UMS app in that thread. However what happened is something locked up.

Now when I boot from the Sd card I get the Android word on the side of the screen and never passes that. I removed the SD card and thought auto nooter will work. However it won't boot past the Silver N.

I then made a new CM7 SD card from another one and tried to run it. I get an error with the Linux penguin when it tries to install to the card.

I tried the reset 8 times and N and power and would alwasys get re install failed.

I don't think I can use the recovery because it seems as if it won't boot from teh SD card.

ANy suggestions?
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
You may have done something to your partitions..

Boot to cwr from sdcard and use the following adb command:

fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 -l

And print the result here.

Search the threads on how to use adb if you're not sure.
[Nook Color Android Development] yazyazoo:
I can't boot from SD card. I tried my Nookie froyo and a CM7 card. When I do, I get the Android letters on the side of the screen and it just stays there.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Samuelhalff mentioned to boot from a clockwork recovery sdcard. You can find an image in the dev forum. dd it to an sdcard and you should be able to boot from that. Then run the adb command as suggested.

Ok I used this thread to make a SD bootable CWR disk.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945838

I booted into my CWM and was able to see my nook with adb devices prompt and the serial number came up 11223344556677 recovery

I type in the fdisk command and get

'fdisk' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Also the CWR says at the bottom for E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command

for other folders it can't mount is /cache/recovery/log

can't mount or open /cache/recovery/last_log

Also now when I remove sd card and try to boot it seems the nook doesn't even turn on :(
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
At command prompt type the following commands:

$ adb shell

# fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

That should give you the partition layout.

[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Your the second person I see that has corrupted his 4th internal partition. I'm guessing that you changed vold.fstab/conf and mounted the internal fourth partition on instead of the 4th on sdcard.

You need to recreate the 5th,6th,7th and 8th partition. Search the forum, it has already been explained..

And for further questions I suggest you ask on the thread that suggested changing your vold.fstab/conf, as that is certainly the source of your problem, and you will certainly not the be last to brake your partitions by playing with vold..

Sam
[Nook Color Android Development] yazyazoo:
The thread I was in didn't tell me to change this setting. However it does tell me to mount the 4th sdcard partition with Nook Color UMS. I did that and never got the sdcard partition to show up to transfer the HC version for a SD card install.

Thanks for looking at the problem I have. I will do a search and hopefully find the thread to reinstalll those partitions.

I can't register my device, it won't go pass the OBBE setup so i skipped the OBBE but now everything works but i can't add my B&N account.
[Nook Color Android Development] mr_fosi:
And this is after you've reverted? To what?
[Nook Color Android Development] uEih:
After i went back to 1.1 it won't let me get passed the B&N account login screen.. It always tells me that it has problems registering the device at this time, call B&N, etc. and on the bottom it shows DAD1007. I tried it with 1.0.0 also and gave me the same error. I called B&N and they told me to call back later cause their systems are down? Not sure if that's what causing this because it's been about 12 hours since i've tried to login and it's the same.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I had the same issue. Called B&N, went through all the steps with them to try to restore. No dice. Not sure what the issue is. It would try to register and then gives me the DAD error. They ended up sending me a replacement by mail w/ a return shipping label and free shipping. Cost me $0.00 to replace. So I'd suggest try them again and hopefully they will replace yours as well.

Good luck!

[Nook Color Android Development] Flandrel:
The question I have is this:

My wife's nook color was updated to 1.2 Android B&N Stock app when she had it connected to wifi and it went into sleep mode and downloaded and installed the update.

I went through the process to put CM7 on it and had some issues but was finally able to get it installed.

Is there anyway to get it back to the 1.2 update? I have tried using clockwork, etc. to get the update installed and it won't. When I try to restore it to 1.0.1, etc. it boots up and gets stuck at the N screen with the white letters at bottom about "containing adobe reader...."

Can anyone give any suggestions?

1. Download and flash CWM 3.0.2.8 Image for microSD (2GB): http://www.multiupload.com/HIWY3JERZ6

- sorry not so good at compressing, not sure how they get this down to 5mb

2. Download Stock Recovery 1.2.0 and copy to SD card: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050520

3. Power down NC, insert SD card, power on, make sure to wipe data/cach/system and boot to be on the safe side. CWM will freeze after you format boot you'll need to manually power down.

4. Power NC back on and install zip for SD card, locate and choose zip, confirm install.

5. After install completes, remove SD then navigate CWM to reboot.

Also what is needed on the SD card with it? Just keep the CWM boot on there as is and just transfer the stock zip over and install from inside CWM?

thanks for this!

i have been running CM7 off an SD card for a while... tried to update it tonight and things got crazy. I couldnt boot into the stock nook any longer, also wouldnt boot my CM7 SD card any more... i could barely get into clockwork recovery, think i had to have 8 failed boots before it would load recovery. I was able to use your reset to stock zip file to flash back to stock.

thanks for the help!

I love xda, but i think i'll stick to hacking my evo for a while.... much more familiar with that process :)

From #242 above ...
[Nook Color Android Development] lanwarrior:
I have installed CM7 on the SD card and

NOT

the Nook's internal memory, so if the SD card is taken out I still have my stock Nook ROM.

However, I have installed ClockWorkRecovery through the CM7 ROM (which is installed in SD Card) and now I would like to remove just CWR, since I cannot receive Nook official ROM update if CWR is installed.

So based on the 1st post, is this the correct step:

1). Put CWR-Removal.zip in the root of SD card (CM7 is running in this SD card)

2). Boot into CWR

3). Select the zip from #1 and applied it

4). Once rebooted, CWR is gone.

Is this correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] jttraverse:
Flashing to return to 'stock' hasn't worked (yet)..?

Just curious if anyone has really gotten their Nook flashed back to a functioning 'stock' version? I've downloaded all the zip's I've seen here and loaded them to a bootable SD card. I've done the -format data/format-system- etc...and though flashing seems to go fine, when the Nook starts back up it has never gone past the big grey 'n' centered on the screen (with the phrase 'Contains Reader Mobile technology...' at the bottom). It just sits there.

I also tried the repartition-boot-with-stock zip file, but still get the same result.

Fwiw, I've been using the Honeycomb version loaded to EMMC, which has been perfect, but I need to do some tests on the original versions and get to BN v1.2 as well. So, any ideas why I have such trouble getting back to stock will be appreciated.

-JTT
[Nook Color Android Development] beeaton:
I found this on another board and it got me back to the original stock version which was 1.2 for me..

To restore to factory - power off. Then hold "power + N (upside down N)" for 6-7 seconds. If it powers off you did it wrong. Try again. When you let go, it should still be on the welcome screen. Let go and then it will go to a screen that reads "installation fail." Power down and do the same again. This time, it will ask you to restore to factory. Hit "N" twice and it will start clearing and restore to factory!

In the process of trying to root, I now have 0.0 internal storage space. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I was able to flash back to 1.1 (came with 1.2), but it still shows 0!

I was able to restore to stock 1.2 following the directions here. HOWEVER, I can no longer register to my B&N account (I do connect with my wifi). I bypassed the set up, and erased my registration, did resets in every possible way I can find described on the forums here, but I get an error when trying to login to the B&N account. Also, I tried creating a new account, and login in. I still get an error and cannot login (though checking B&N site on my computer shows that a new account has been created but does not show Nook registered on it).

B&N telephone support are unable to provide nay help. They suggest that I bring in the Nook to the store (20 miles away). Any suggestions that will save me the trip will be appreciated. Thanks.

Restoring back to 1.0.1 worked like a charm. I wanted to have a backup of "out of the box, registered with my e-mail/password" state, in case I need to take it back to B&N (I have 2-year extended/accidental coverage).

For a while, I couldn't find my way around with the stock UI :eek:

[Nook Color Android Development] monsterpt:
Stumped...

OK all you smart people out there, here's my problem (well one of them anyway).

I have 4 NC's at the house and all of them have a different ROM on them. My wife's NC (of course it had to happen to her's, no I won't hear the end of it) has the black screen. Nothing happens at all when you try to start it. It was stuck on the Touch the Future of Reading screen and so I was gonna do a restore to stock but obviously failed. So, I tried to do a repartition... black screen.

Now I can boot into the uSD card with CWR on it, I can flash files etc, but when I reboot afterwards, all I get is a black screen. It has been months since I flashed anything on any of the NC's so I am rusty.

She has taken my NC away to use until I can fix hers. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] moSess:
This worked wonderfully. No problems.
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
For me as well... I restored it to stock (left it at the "welcome" video stage), and the buyer went through the registrations, etc and had a fully functional 1.0.1 Nook Color. We even tested the "read for free" feature and no problems there either (not that I was expecting any).

In addition to handing the NC to someone else, this will work great for any warranty issues before taking it to B&N.
[Nook Color Android Development] CA2008:
Thank you so much for saving my NC. I have troubles of flashing on SD card and on NC. Finally, I get back on the orignal one. Thanks so much again! You have done a good work. :)

[Nook Color Android Development] hp2point0:
I dont know what I did wrong

I tried to restore my nook but I made a mistake and didnt follow the bold red instructions:

"If you choose to flash one of the two files above, formating /data and /system is required BEFORE flashing the file (see mounts and storage in CWR) ! After flashing, resets (8 failed and power+n) shouldn't be necessary, everything should work straight "out of the box" after flashing the file."

Now my Nook is stuck in a book loop. It tried the 8 count shut down. I got the message about it installing the software but still is stuckin Loop. It goes to the Barnes and Noble Nook Color screen then resets and does it all over again. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] Colchiro:
So boot off the sdcard and do it again. :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Taosaur:
It seems like making an up-to-date CWM card like this one:

and flashing a B&N 1.2 image (hopefully there will be 1.3 soon):

would be a simpler route for most people.
[Nook Color Android Development] buoy7:
Hi,

Here is my problem. I rooted my Nook simple touch and then applied the software update. This somehow froze the device to the point I had to take the thing apart and disconnect/reconnect the battery. Using touchnooter, I was able to boot from sd card, but I have somehow hosed my internal partitions. Now when I look at the partitions in Finder, I just have 2 - touchnooter (the sd card) and nook. If I boot with noogie.img on the sd card I can also see the boot partition, but the device itself only dislpays the 'rooted forever screen' I don't know where the other 5 partitions I have read about have gone.

I have a partial backup, but not of all the partitions (yeah, I know how bad this is) and nobody will post a backup img since each touch is unique and the partitions contain some unique files - device no etc.

So my dumb noob qn is - can I use clockwork and insert some of my touch files into the nook_complete_restore_1.0.1 to rewrite my internals.

You may wonder why not just run of the sd card with touchnooter - well I no longer have any internal storage and the only way to get books onto the device is through calibre putting them on the sd card. To do this I have had to reformat the sd card once booted so it has space for books. Now if I inadvertently shut down or reboot, I'm frozen again until I re-image the sd card with touchnooter and reboot.

I managed to get adb working and set the failed start counter to 8 - but a reboot just leaves everything frozen.

Can anyone help (or point me at an actual touch backup img)

Doh!!!

Question: I have the wife's Nook dual-booting PhireMod v6.1 & Honeycomb v4 from a 16GB class 4 SD card. Tonight I accidentally flashed MIUI 1.9.16 to the eMMC without wiping anything first, OOPS! So if I flash the stock B&N 1.2 image from recovery (on the SD) will it

1) put the stock B&N 1.2 back on eMMC as it was before I goofed?

2)NOT totally "F" the PhireMod/Honeycomb setup where all of her stuff actually is?

I have both of the stock .zips downloaded already, just want to make sure it'll do what I want without incurring data loss, etc.

Thanks in advance! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] Taosaur:
What form of recovery do you have on the SD? I may not be much help here, as I used that dualboot image for all of five minutes and don't know what kind of recovery it has or where it would flash a .zip. I take it that your eMMC install is not booting? Do you have a non-bootable SD card available?

If you have a non-bootable SD on hand, I would say use ROM Manager in Phiremod to flash ClockworkMod Recovery to eMMC, shut down, eject the dualboot card, insert the non-bootable SD with the 1.2 restore image on its root directory, then boot into CWM and install the zip that way.
[Nook Color Android Development] carhauler1969:
The recovery on the SD is CWM 3.0.0.1. eMMC boots fine, albeit to MIUI 1.9.16 & not to the stock B&N 1.2, which is where the problem lies. The extra SD I have has the files from the stock B&N setup on it, as long as that won't be overwritten by doing this I'm game.

Ultimately I'd like to lose the dual boot setup as we've only been using the PhireMod ROM anyway, but I'd like to switch to the MIUI ROM & update the recovery to the latest version 3.2.0.8(?). I'm just a little uncertain of how to accomplish all if this on the nook without losing all of the wife's crap that's on it.
