For future use, the included zip files that make up Rootpack are available in the same location you downloaded the rootpack from. You can pop those on any size sd image to make your own any size SD.

Glad to hear this is still working for everyone!

I used to me a WinMo flasher. I was doing 4 a week at my most addicted. Now, I'm starting my rooting with this and going to move to the Evo.

Wish me luck!

Edit :

I just got a popup saying something about new software and version 1.1.0. I am pretty sure that I looked in the past and saw "1.1". So...this is different? Seems like a confusing version name.

Install Instructions

I have been reading forums for many hours now and want to be sure I install a ROM correctly on my new Nook Color. I have compiled the instructions after many hours of research. I am unable to find instructions so can someone please verify these are correct.

What I want:

I want to install a stable Froyo ROM on the emmc. I want to use external SD Card for media and install ROM on emmc

Steps to Install

1) Prepare Bootable Clockwork Recovery SD: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922870

I have a 8GB card so I downloaded latest 8GB Bootable Clockword Recovery SD from here: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/

I also downloaded latest rootpack zips from here and put them on the SD Card: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/zips/

At this time I have a 8 GB Bootable Clockword Recovery SD. There is a zips folder that I added that contains Root, CWM and Google Apps zips

2) Root and Install CWM:

Insert SDCard into your Nook Color and power off then back on your Nook Color. Your device will automatically boot from the SD card and present you with a “Clockwork Recovery” screen

From the Clockwork Recovery home screen use the volume buttons to navigate to “Install Package from SD Card” and press the home (“n” button) to select it.

Select “Browse for Package”

Navigate to rooting/[your device software version] then select root.zip.

Select “Yes”, then wait for the process to complete. You should see “Congrats, you’ve successfully rooted your Nook Color”.

Once you have installed the root.zip file, you can repeat this process with the GoogleApps.zip file also to install the Market.

At this time I have a rooted Nook Color with Root, CWM and Google Apps install. Next find a CWM installable zip to install

how to question...

How do you add the v4 eMMC to the SWC img file... I know this a no brainer for most but I cannot find a thread that covers this...
[Nook Color Android Development] BabyEater:
This is weird. I can do everything just dandy, but once I install Clockwork, I get stuck in a boot loop that only and every time goes to the screen as if the bootable memory card is in there.

For now, I guess I'll just go with ADW.Launcher on it and see how fun that stays. It would be fun to have the dual boot working, though.

Also, every time I have turned it all the way off, the first on says something failed and to retry. It is like blowing into NES cartridges...it is annoying, but not a deal breaker.

Edit :

I now just tried to do Clockwork one more time and it didn't work, so I uninstall'd it. Surprise! "Your Nook is now up to date with 1.0.1 software", even though just a mere 4 hours ago I installed 1.1.0 rooted it with those Zip files.

Re-do...I guess...unless rooting makes it say that...I didn't pay attention earlier. I should have, but I was enjoying a nice Scotch barrel aged Nogne-O Winter Ale.

I promise, I'll get back to my ROM flashing days of ol' and stop asking round-about questions as statements of confusion as soon as I can.

So...now that my software somehow downgraded to 1.0.1, think I am going to be fine? Is this Clockwork the same as the one that can download from the Clockwork ROM Manager? The version number is something like 3.0.1.0 instead of 3.0.0.5.
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
I don't know if it's the same or not. I do know some of the older cwr images for the nook had to be modified to work properly, so to be safe I always use ones provided by the devs in this forum over one from RM

[Q] Gmail website and market 2.2 app closes immediately upon start, rooted 1.1

[Q] Gmail website and market 2.2 app closes immediately upon start, rooted 1.1

I've found that I can't access some sites without the stock browser closing down immediately, gmail and other google apps sites seem to be affected the most. I rooted using the Monster Root Pack. Still on stock 1.1. Did not install CWM to eMMC.

The market does the same thing, though that may be my fault. I downloaded to Market 2.2 update from nookdevs and installed it like any other apk. It opened one time to the new market. Every time thereafter, it just closes down immediately. I tried moving the Vending.apk (from the rootpack) to system/apps and replacing the one I just installed, rebooting, and running it again, but no change.

Any thoughts on these issues?

Thanks.

EDIT: It appears you also cannot push market apps from market.android.com without a functioning market app on the phone. *sigh*

EDIT 2: Just restored stock, re-rooted using Monster Root Pack. All went well as usual but for one thing. I tested the browser in pre-root stock and navigated to gmail.com with no problem. After root I did the exact same thing and the browser crashed to homescreen. this is before I did a single thing other than root, install gapps, and log in to sync my accounts.

EDIT 3: It looks like it may have something to do with sites using SSL? It seems to crap out whenever I navigate to a site using SSL or when I force a secure session by appending S to http

Anyone else with this issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] skeeterpro:
First off, great job on the Monster Pack! Rooted first time and so far running smoothly! All functions zipping along. Curious though. (Search thread is down for some reason...) When using LauncherPro and attempt to place shortcuts to home page results in "No Space Available". Also no appearent way to redirect shortcuts on bottom scroll bar. Odd. Playing with Minimalistic Text to see if I can resize. Any one else see this? Suggestions? Thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] steelechamp:
Do I need to revert back to unrooted stock to use this?
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
Ooooookay I'm going to see if I can take this into my own hands.

I downloaded and imaged a 1 GB SD card based on this recovery. Mounting it in Windows, I see the root directory contains:

mlo

u-boot.bin

uImage

uRamdisk

Now, I also downloaded ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0 and I see inside the boot directory of the zip file:

uRecImg

uRecRam

Suppose I modify the SD card as follows:

uImage --> replace this with renamed uRecImg from 3.0.1.0

uRamdisk --> replace this with renamed uRecRam from 3.0.1.0

Will that give me a bootable universal 3.0.1.0 microSD card? Is it that easy, or is there some subtlety I'm missing here?
[Nook Color Android Development] steelechamp:
caught in a boot loop....

Any help? My Nook Color did the same thing with Autonooter 3.0 and somehow just got out of it but I dont know why this is doing it. I flashed root, then gapps, and then finally clockwork. Thats the right order, right?
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
I used the root.zip and gapps for custom recovery that are linked to on the first post. I noticed that after applying these, something broke with my stock Browser. Any time I go to an https page (e.g. Gmail), the browser force quits.

I restored the /system partition of my unrooted nandroid backup, and this error vanished. I re-applied the root and gapps, and once again had the force quit problem.

I restored the /system backup one more time, and this time used auto-nooter instead of the update.zips for root and apps. Now there is no more https force quit.

Anyone else experience this?
[Nook Color Android Development] will2live:
Man I sure hope you figure that out as I'd like to know the same thing myself. Currently I think a lot of the problem people are having is because of these different CWR version. All burnable Images right now will only get you to 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. And if you flash the 3.0.1.0 to the device Manually it seems to cause nothing but issue when you want or need to switch ROMs.
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
I can confirm that my proposal worked. Just burn the appropriate size image for your SD card, mount it on your PC, and modify the SD card as follows:

uImage --> replace this with renamed uRecImg from 3.0.1.0

uRamdisk --> replace this with renamed uRecRam from 3.0.1.0

Stick the card into your NC and voilà, you've booted into CWR 3.0.1.0. From the bootable SD I was also able to flash the zip that installs internal CWR.
[Nook Color Android Development] will2live:
Awesome thanks for the update on your plan working out. This will make life much easier so that internal recovery and a bootable sdcard have the same recovery.
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
I should add, though, that I have not attempted any ext4 ROMs from my 3.0.1.0 card. Good luck =)
[Nook Color Android Development] will2live:
All good, I have no problem accepting any risk in a trial run. Can't get any worse then what I've been threw bricking this thing on and off anyways. Hopefully I'll have time tonight to try this out. As soon as I do I will report back tho. And btw I will be moving forwarding installing the most current CM7 nightly when I do have a chance to do this.
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
Well I can report that my 3.0.1.0 card worked for installing an ext4 version of Honeycomb on eMMC (after formatting /system, /data, /cache). I played with it for a few hours, restoring back to my nandroid of the nooted Eclair now with the same CWR card. Restore seems to work so far. If I don't report back again, assume the restore did work =)
[Nook Color Android Development] tenderidol:
Just to chime in with my experience.

From the link in the first post, I downloaded the "8gb_clockwork-0.7.tar.gz" and booted into CWR. I flashed phiremod beta 2 and removed the card. Then, NC went into a boot loop. As with many others with the boot loop problem, I was on 1.1. My NC didn't have 1.1 when it arrived; I updated to 1.1 from B&N site and used autonooter to root. I know the title says "1.1 compatible", but that wasn't my experience.

Next time, I'll go back to 1.0.1 prior to flashing with bootable CWR just to make sure :D
[Nook Color Android Development] will2live:
+1 here also as I did have time to run the test last night myself. Saw you new thread and commented there so folks know this process does work. Thanks again for the info. Peace
[Nook Color Android Development] lyam23:
Yup. I experienced this is as well. I finally found a browser that worked and I ended up liking it so much, I didn't worry about it. Miren browser is fantastic on the NC.

[Nook Color Android Development] jhnstn00:
Thanks, I figured it out how to put CWR on internal memory by getting uRecImg and uRecRam from CWR 3.0.1.0 thread here . Using Root explorer, I moved the 2 files into the /boot folder. Must have been a fluke that I was able to access /boot. I was gonna try to push the files using terminal emulator because I didn't have an CWR 3.0.0.5 SD image to flash the update.zip that is located on the same thread listed previously.

When flashed CM7 and HC, I had to format data & cache to Ext4 using the CWR 3.0.0.5 for ext4 SD image by thecubed here.

When I restored back to stock (1.1.0), I had to format data & cache & possibly system using the CWR 3.0.0.5 SD image, then flashed the update.zip for 1.1.0.

So basically, format it once using 3.0.1.0 once then forget about the reformatting? Is this correct?
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
Format the partitions using 3.0.1.0 before switching to a totally different ROM type via update.zip. You can restore a nandroid backup without formatting though.

Having some issues

Hi everyone,

So I just picked up my Nook version 1.10 from my cousin in the states. I was pretty excited about rooting it, if was as easy as my archos 101 tablet then I would have a great daily driver. I downloaded the latest monster rootpack and wrote the img to a 4gig mSD class 6 card. I recently made a CWR 1.10 image when i first opened the nook. Anyways, I tried the autonooter 3.0 method several times, I tried different download sources and tried different cards, but the Nook screen stayed black and never rebooted (I left it overnight) from when you connect it to your computer. I decided to use the monster rootpack method..after downloading this latest 0.7 img I followed the instructions and it seem to be successful (according to the messages on the CWR screen). I took out the card and rebooted. The unit boots to the "n" splash screen and just hangs. I've tried numerous reboots and the 8 reset method to clear any old data from the previous rooting attempts, but nothing seems to be working. Does anyone have any tips using the rootpack??

:confused:
[Nook Color Android Development] heyrye:
Update...

So I tried yet again with the monster rootpack and this time I worked from a stock 1.1 image and I just rooted it with 0.7 and I DID NOT install the google apps.zip. I rebooted and voila!! it came on and made it to the main screen. I didn't see any different bootup animation except for the stock "nook color" screen. I did see under the applications that super user was installed. I made a CWR backup of the current config and I tried to install the googleapps.zip. The process went through as usual, but when I took out the mSD card and rebooted....it froze and hung on the "n" splash screen and did not change. Hmm
[Nook Color Android Development] sabinblitz:
Just wanted to point out I tried this yesterday. Everything seems so far so good. I keep getting a failed boot message once (right after the N appears, before the "uses Adobe technology" appears at the bottom) every time I go into Clockwork. Always seems to work after the second boot.

Anyways, having Market really increases the value of this so major thumbs up!
[Nook Color Android Development] adealey:
Anybody come up with a fix for this? (I searched the thread but if there is a solution I missed it).

I've tried everything I could think of without success. If I flash CWR 3.0.0.5 it always boots to CWR, no way to get to the normal rom. Fortunately, flashing the removeCWR works fine ('course you have to do that double-boot thing the first time but that's no big deal).

I flashed the zipped version of 3.0.1.0 and thought I was home free when it booted to the normal rom. Except now I can't get to CWR no matter what! (And every time I boot to the normal rom, it boots but gives me a black screen until I run HomeSmack and reselect a launcher... weird).

So anyone know of a real fix for this?
[Nook Color Android Development] fpga_guy:
As a rule, I always use a bootable CWR and DO NOT install on eemc. There has been too many situations of CWR looping. So try this:

restore to stock 1.1 (or 1.0 and then side load the update)

root with auto nooter 3.0.0

use a bootable Monster Rootpack to do your backups/restore.

The side benefit is that you can "shop".
[Nook Color Android Development] adealey:
Thanks, but having to swap sd cards in and out is what I'm trying to avoid, so this advice doesn't solve that.

BTW... I failed to mention: NC is originally a 1.1 device and was rooted using auto-nooter 3.0.
[Nook Color Android Development] cmstlist:
Isn't there a zip out there that fixed the boot partition? You need to apply that first, from recovery on SD, then apply the Clockwork zip. It's a well known problem that sometimes the boot partition breaks after flashing certain malformed updates.

Sent from my Nook Color!
[Nook Color Android Development] adealey:
Ok, well, that's a clue. Now if I can just find the zip somewhere.

[Nook Color Android Development] rmccullough:
I found your post after I posted. I am trying to do that now. Side question, I had CM7 on my Nook previously.

I used win32diskimager to write the "CWM-6.0.1.2-bootable_SD.zip" to my SD card. I will first be using the "NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip". Do I need to boot to recovery to run this? By holding power+n? Then I plan on removing the format zip and putting the "nookcolor_1_4_3_signed.zip" on my SD card and flashing that. Same question, do I need the power+n or will the SD card just start CWM because of the image I wrote to it?

Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
If you successfully made the SD, it should boot directly to it when you have it inserted and power on. You can put both zips on the card and boot to CWM and install one after the other without rebooting.

It does not matter what you had installed previously, it will all get wiped.
[Nook Color Android Development] rmccullough:
Wow, that was so much easier than it used to be. I had originally rooted my NC using the auto-nooter. Then a couple months later I set it up so that I could run CM7 from the SD card. At some point I think I botched the install of CWM or something to emmc. I remember that I always had to hold power+n in some weird timing in order to start the boot recovery and install CM7 updates.

The CWM bootable SD card you have in your tips is much easier. The NC booted right into CWM and I was able to run the format zip, and then the 1.4.3 stock ROM zip. Pull the SD card, re-booted, and it went right into the B&N registration process.

Thanks Leapinlar. The tips are great. I just needed a bit more re-assurance. Thanks for keeping some working links around. I must have found 10 threads with dead links before stumbling upon your tips post.

[Nook Color Android Development] thecubed:
Hello all!

Firstly, I'd like to say, thanks for your helpful feedback!

I just have a few questions for people that have had problems:

Does it show the new boot animation at all? or does it just stick and not do anything at all?

For now, I'd like to pull the download links, but I need testers. I need people that can get me the logfiles from clockwork after installing the rootpack.

Another thing: if you do get stuck in any way, just let the stock recovery's 8 failed boot count reset you to stock. This software in NO way can permanently corrupt a NookColor, unless you don't follow instructions.

For those that can afford to screw with their NookColor, please use the root pack, install root.zip and while in clockwork adb pull the logfile from /cache/recovery/

That will give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong.. I'm sure it's just a permissions problem or something like that...
