The real credits go to the awesome dudes of ClockworkMod, nemith on IRC, FatTire on IRC, [mbm] on IRC, and a LONG list of other people that I am soon to credit with a rather large section in my instructions :)

Glad it helps!

EDIT: The zips are only in the rootpack_1gb.tar.gz -- they're actually in the sd image. Clockwork_1gb.tar.gz is just a bootable clockwork, for the people who just want a platform without any additions (and a speedy download! the rootpack is 24mb, whereas the clockwork card is only 8mb)

yeah, ive been too preoccupied with work to hop on IRC lately :(, i need to get my butt back in there... this weekend for sure.

[Nook Color Android Development] modembug:
something is up with the img file for the rootpack, it claims not enough space on my 2gb card and my 16gb card... cwr only img seems to be fine.. just a heads up

I take it back.... my work laptop is just a POS, my thinkpad does it just fine! whatever.... so much for Dell!
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
How big did it decompress to be? It should only be around 900MB... unless I accidentally compressed it wrong somehow...

Seems to decompress fine for me.. 941-ish MB.. should fit just fine on any SD 1GB or larger...

What If You're Already Rooted..

Can this be done or (groans mightily) do we have to revert all the way back to stock?
[Nook Color Android Development] naplesbill:
Ok, I followed the directions exactly, and the device went into a boot loop. It installed the Root, then tried to install the googleapps.zip and received an error 6. Tried rebooting and running the googleapps.zip again, same error.

Ultimately, I used the AutoNooter process and it worked perfectly.
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Thank you for your feedback! I'll be sure to check out why the device was bootlooping.

As for the error 6, that'll be interesting to track down.. it's probably a missing semicolon somewhere haha.

One question-- when it was bootlooping, did you see the new boot animation? or did it just go to the "touch the future of reading" to the "n" screen and over and over again?
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Well this is embarrassing! I forgot to include the modified ramdisk in the root.zip... your device started bootlooping because I renamed the ramdisk, but forgot to copy the new one in place! Gah! Oops!

Well, at least that issue was easy to trace. How about the error 6 with the googleapps.zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Probably a missing semicolon somewhere... I'm not at my desktop at the moment though, I'll post back with an update soon, and replacement .zips just incase you don't want to reburn the SD card. (you can just drag+drop 'em to the SD card once you have it made)

Okay to use CWM off of Rootpack 0.7 SD card?

I am having problems with ROM manager also. What is the downside of just using CWM in Rootpack 0.7? I am doing a backup now and it does create the NANDROID on the SD card.

If I have hose my NC (hopefully never), can I just use Rootpack 0.7 and CWM restore? I hope never to have to do that...

Many, many thanks to IOMonster...
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
You can use whatever you'd like to restore your device, provided that the backup file fits on the SD card image you use.

Anyone around with a NookColor that came stock with 1.1 ? I'd like to do some tests to find out why my installclockwork.zip is giving people issues...

Mirrors now added!

Special thanks to Zerf for the offer to mirror version 0.7!

http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/mirrors.html is the most up-to-date mirrorlist.

Please contact me if you're interested in mirroring also.
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
The mirror is as slow as the original host. It's taking me forever to download the 4.3 MB of 1gb_clockwork-0.7.

Seriously, file hosting servers are not evil ;)
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
I'd disagree-- hosting my file and possibly serving a drive-by spyware advertisement to my users is indeed evil. Every last one of them.

I understand they have to make their money somehow, but I just hate the filth that is advertising.

Mirror shouldn't be slow.. I'll contact Zerf about that.. Thanks for the notification.

EDIT: You sure you're downloading from the mirror? The url would be something like http://www.efisf.com/nookdev/ ...
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
Yep, I tried both. (EDIT) Now it seems to work ok. Much faster than before :)

Anyway, I don't know if you're a little paranoid or if you're right regarding mediafire et al. and spyware, because I use linux exclusively since many years ago and I don't really care about those things :P.

Have you considered a disposable public dropbox folder to host the files? At least the small 4 MB images. The bandwith limit is 10 GB/day

BTW, THANKS A LOT for the images. I had my nook stuck at the boot screen (white text over black background, I don't remember what the text says). Simply booting CWM 3 from the sd card, selecting "reboot" from the main CWM menu and removing the sd card before it was used was enough to fix it: it booted again to my rooted 1.1.0.

Does anyone know why this happens and why simply booting CWM from a sd card and rebooting is enough to fix it?

Am I correct in assuming the sd card has to be empty to make the bootable sd right?

And that afterwards, can additional files be added to that same sd? Like music, images...etc.

[Nook Color Android Development] ericman77:
I've tried this 20 times. Can't get it to work dose this only work on stock Nook? Im running froyo 0.6.7. The image burns to my sd fine but when I boot it just boots normally.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
Nope, it will work on any nook. I use his rootpack as my "jesus disk", and have added a few other key files such as the adhoc fix and the 1ghz kernels.

(So yes to the post above you, you can add back files to this, but as it's essentialy CWR, it helps if they are all flashable).

If you are booting to your eMMC then something is either screwed up with your image on the card (nook not able to detect or read the boot info) or the card itself is bad. If you can see the card from within NF, then it's the boot image that's not working.
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
Yea, it sounds like you changed the default boot order somewhere. Unless modified, the nook color will always try to boot from the uSD slot first. If your FroYo install won't do that, then you need to go back to where the FroYo image/rom came from and ask how to use it and still be able to boot from an SD.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
the boot from SD is a HW setting. even if there is no boot info on the NC eMMC, it will still try to boot from the SDCard first. It would take a bit of old school HW hacking to change the boot order.
[Nook Color Android Development] ericman77:
No didn't change any thing. Its a fresh in stall of froyo. And also when I use my linux pc and connect the usd isn't it suppose to mount the internal sd in the usd?
[Nook Color Android Development] ericman77:
Also should have mentioned when I burn a froyo usd the froyo usd will boot. That's what I always use to revert to stock when needed.
[Nook Color Android Development] sudhirkhanger:
Why are there different size versions of CWR? Only difference i see between 128mb and 8 Gb is that it takes hell of a time to write image.
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
This allows you to make a bootable CWM sd card of different sizes. I use Rootpack to run CWM and backups on the SD card. I also store various ROM's and the card and can restore.

Can't buy books?

I cannot seem to "buy" books from BN after updating the ROM to 1.1 and rooting. I tried these methods:

Method 1

Register stock 1.0.1 NC

Upgrade by copying 1.1 to NC via usb cable as suggested by BN

Root with Rootpack 0.7

Everything works but browsing for book from BN.

Method 2

Register stock 1.0.1 NC

Root with Rootpack 0.7

Load Nook Color V1.1.0_r2 [01/29/2011] by Decad3nce

Still can't buy books.

Did 1.1 do something? There is along thread regarding using BN features at stores with 1.1.

Thanks again

I think the rootpack on the mirror is corrupted. I'm only getting a 20mb file that will not extract. The rootpack downloading from the original host is very slow.
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Really? Hm. I'll have to check that out. Which file are you downloading? The 128mb_rootpack.tar.gz ?
[Nook Color Android Development] mightybrick:
yes, that's the one I'm downloading.
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
This may be a stupid question, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. So these different size images, do you download the one corresponding to the size of the SD card that you'll be using to boot?

I'm only downloading CWR, so if I'm putting it on a 8GB SD card I should download the 8GB image, right?
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Yes.

Download the proper sized image for your SD card. If you download the 128mb image and put that on your 8gb card, it would temporarily resize your 8gb card to 128mb, which would be of no use for making nandroid backups.
[Nook Color Android Development] hacku:
Thanks! This worked great...

I now have Honeycomb running in eMMc and it's smoooooth. :D

I posted this question in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11411627#post11411627

It appears that if you root 1.1 with Rootpack 0.7 the "Shop" feature where you can browse and buy books is disabled. The symptom is that the Shop program just hangs and FC.

I had to restore to stock and then use Auto-nooter 3.0.0
[Nook Color Android Development] jttraverse:
running CWR still causes the CWR boot loop..

Interesting development in case no one else has noticed this. I had previously cleared everything and gone back to stock v1.1. I then used the Monster Root Pack to root my Nook, but this time did not install CWR (because of previous experience where I got stuck in the boot loop back to CWR). After things came up nicely, then I installed CWR from inside ROM Manager and things seemed fine. Rebooting works normally if I turn the device off and on.

What I've found, however, is that if I go into ROM Manager and from there I select the option to reboot to CWR, it does reboot--but afterward it is again back to the CWR boot loop. At that point I have to use the original 128mb Rootpack and run the 'uninstallclockwork' zip in order to be able to reboot normally. I can reinstall CWR just fine, and everything seems to be functional as long as the Nook is not rebooted using the 'reboot to CWR' from inside ROM Manager.

So, there may be some issue either with the way the Monster Root Pack does things, or maybe with how ROM Manager ties in with CWR, or maybe just CWR itself on v1.1. But I think maybe I need to go back to stock and root the device with Autonooter instead and see if CWR behaves the same way after that.

Anyone else seen this?

Im lost, lol. I followed the directions in the wiki and I was able to flash the root.zip and gapps.zip. I reboot and everything comes up fine. When I try to launch youtube, it just reloads the extras app drawer. Also when I try to use the SoftKeys app it says unable to execute as root. What am I doing wrong? I just got my NC today and its version 1.0.1
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
This seems to be a known bug for Clockwork. I believe it's related to the boot manager (u-boot) for 1.1.

For now, I'd recommend against installing clockwork to your internal storage and instead relying on a SD card for using clockwork until this is sorted out.
[Nook Color Android Development] smashbottom:
I just opened the package rooted and such, installed clockwork and I'm now stuck on this rotation, how do I exactly get out of it?

I've done the "Install zip from sdcard" and selected Removeclockwork... I install it, and reboot the device and clockwork still starts back up! Anyone have any other ideas?
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
...did you remember to remove the SD card?

If the SD card is in, the device will ALWAYS boot to clockwork.

If you format the SD card, it will go back to being a normal SD card, and you can leave it in on boot without the device booting to clockwork.
[Nook Color Android Development] smashbottom:
Maybe that was it, I had the SD card in, but now I'm getting the black screen where it will not bootup, or flash.

I've done everything in this thread with no luck:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949699

I've tried both the rootpack or the clockware recovery image...

I even tried hitting the Power button alone many times, and with the home button... attempting to get the 8 fail thing.

I then attempted to put the auto-nooter3 on the SD card, no luck, no screen flash or anything....

I have two nook color's I'm playing with, therefore I've formated the card multiple times using a different android device...
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
plug it into a pc and see if it gets detected. It may be on but the screen isn't. Happens occasionally. You can either wait for the battery to die or disconnect and reconnect the battery cable (pull the back off, and there is a little plug for the battery cable up near the volume buttons)
[Nook Color Android Development] smashbottom:
Thank you, I've rooted many devices without problems... I was thinking, "If I could just tear the damn battery out it'll probably work fine."

I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in, no luck. No nothing. I attempted to plug it into the computer and nothing...

For an unbrickable device, I've sure done a good job at not allowing myself to get it to turn on... :p :p :p :p and it's been on the charger all afternoon, except when I was fiddling with it
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Woah, hold up.

So, now you get nothing on the screen when you turn it on with NO sd installed?

What happens if you boot it with my rootpack SD in?

...if it shows CWM when you boot with my rootpack SD, then it just means that you hosed your /boot partition.

Check around here for the complete restore to stock .zip. It has a complete partition backup that should set you straight, no need to ever pull the battery.

(I may be incorrect, but with our device, there should never be a need to pull the battery-- holding the power button for 20 seconds will trigger the cpu to power off. It's not a software thing- it will ALWAYS work.)
[Nook Color Android Development] smashbottom:
I can't get the screen to flash to say, "the power of reading" or whatever it says my default... and I've held the powerbutton down for 20+ seconds., attempted to connect it to different computers also...

I'm perplexed at this situation.

In short on my SD card I should have the, "128mb_rootpack-0.7.tar" image on the SD card, per the Win32 Disk Image...

I should be able to hold the power button down for 20 seconds...

As I'm typing this I'm holding it for 10000x seconds and guess what happens. Poof, turns on.

And it randomly turns on to clockwork recovery... How weird, but I'll take it.

I have to leave my house for a few hours, but in short I should format the SD card using the other nook and place the "Nook complete restore 1.0.1" on it, then upgrade to 1.1.1., autonooter etc...

So I flashed a 4GB with Rootpack. When I tried to copy zips to the SD, it complained about not having enough space. Is there a way to add more stuff to the card so that I don't have to use two cards - one for getting into CWM and the other with stuff to install? TIA
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Great! If it turns on to CWM with the SD in it (the trick is hold power for 20 seconds, let go for 3 seconds, then hold power again until you see the screen turn on)

Grab the 1gb_clockwork.tar.gz image, extract it, and burn that to your SD card. Then find the restore to 1.0.1 zip laying around here. Once you restore, you can either upgrade to 1.1 or just stay at 1.0.1 and block the 1.1 update.
[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Honestly, I don't know. You'd have to ask Decad3nce about that- I'm just using his modified framework.jar file. If he releases a fixed version, I'd gladly release updated zip files and a new rootpack.

Rootpack is a 128mb image, and is really only meant for flashing the included zip files. If you want to have more storage space on your SD card, flash the proper SD image for your card.

Since you have a 4gb card, flash the 4gb_clockwork.img .

HOWEVER: any of the XYZ_clockwork.img files DO NOT contain the files needed to root the device-- JUST bootable clockwork.

In short:

If you want to root your device- get the 128mb_rootpack

If you want to make nandroids- get the appropriate XYZ_clockwork for your size SD card.
[Nook Color Android Development] d70:
@thecubed ok that made sense. Flashing unziping the 4GB zip was taking a long time so I ran out of patience ... I'll give it another shot.

EDIT: It's been over an hour ... how long does it take to flash the 4GB image?
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
It depends on the speed (quality) of the flash. I made a 4gb image with a class 4 flash. Took about 30 minutes or so. A class 2 flash would take 2x the time.

I also copied all the files need to root from 128mb image and now have a 4gb image that I root and run CWM. I use this image to restore back to stock when I need to.
[Nook Color Android Development] d70:

Restoring Nandroid backups

I was running CWM on my internal for a while and made a number of backups to my SDcard. I installed HC (wiped out internal CWM) and started using the SD card CWM. I like this method and am wondering if it is possible to restore backups with the SD card CWM? If so, can I just move my other backups over to my CWM SD card?

I am just trying to consolidate all my flashables onto a single SD card with CWM.

[Nook Color Android Development] miemens:
I copied my "clockworkmod" folder from my "regular use" SD onto my PC and then copied it to the root of my "recovery" CWM SD. It ends up looking like this.

I made a backup with everything set up exactly how I personally like it. No matter how much tinkering I do, I know I can get everything back to my "perfect" set up by sticking this card in, booting, flashing the CWR-removal.zip then the repartition-boot-with-stock.zip, formatting system-data-cache, then restoring my backup. I don't know if that's all necessary, but it has worked every time to get me from "brick" to "how everything was a few hours ago until I decided to screw with it".

Sweet deal dude. Finally allowed me to get my system back up on the stock rom. Jesus it is complicated. I hate all of these stupid HDD images we have to flash.

Here's the problem. You only have a "128mb" rootpack. So I had to make an SD card with the 128 root pack, then copy off the rootpack files, format the card and setup your 2gb Clockwork image... then manually create a folder and copy the rootpack over to it... plus the stock image.

I'm saving this 2gb as my recovery life savor.
