I really need some help here - at my wits end. I'm trying to restore my wife's nook and have tried following these instructions to a T, but have run into a who slew of problems. I have worked my way around most of them, but have now hit a roadblock.

First, winimage did not work for me - my sd card (or any other drive) showed up in the "creating virtual hd ..." window. I ended up using win32diskimager and finally did get the Bootable Clockwork SD image loaded onto my 8gb SD card. I also copied the nook-complete-restore-1.0.1 onto my SD card and then inserted it into the nook and powered it on.

I booted into the CWM and successfully formatted both the system and data. Then I went back and tried to install the 1.0.1 zip file from the sd card, but every time I tried to "choose zip from sdcard" it telles me "no files found."

I have verified that the 1.0.1 zip file is sitting on the SD card. I have even tried putting it on a 2 gb card I had lying around and tried to get the nook to pick it up off that, but no luck.

I've been at this on and off for a couple of days now, and am likely doing something stupid here as I'm not much of a techie, but any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT AS SOON AS I POSTED THIS, I TRIED REBOOTING THE SYSTEM AND THEN IT READ THE SD CARD ZIP FILES!
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Did you choose install update .zip or choose .zip from sd card?
[Nook Color General] karandas72:
Worked flawlessly, thanks!
[Nook Color General] HoosierInFL:
I followed the steps and I am back to stock, but it shows zero storage available. What did I do wrong or what can I do to fix it?

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] CallDon:
I get this far but when I "format data" I get "error formatting .../data" message.

I rebooted and started over but I can't get beyond that. Any suggestions?

EDIT: So I skipped "format data" and installed the zip file. It seemed to install it fine.

Turned it off and rebooted. It came on just like new, but froze on the gray N screen. ???

Any suggestions??

[Nook Color General] patruns:
Try picking the option to restore to stock which wipes data as well.
[Nook Color General] prozac4312:
So if I go to 1.0.1 via this method, can I update to 1.3.0 directly from B&N's website?
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Why would you want to do that when you can go directly to 1.3 in one shot?
[Nook Color General] stinger608:
Has this worked flashing strait to 1.3? I am assuming the 1.3 image has to be from here and not B&N; correct?

Also the original post should be updated with the newest Clockwork!
[Nook Color General] webcam3000:
Format data not possible

Hi there I need help with this issue my brother's nook won't format data it always displays "Error in /format" what should I do?
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
Most likely, the version of Clockworkmod you're using is not handling your partitions correctly. See this thread for a method of updating your bootable SD or creating an updated version.

[Nook Color General] kingston73:
I am trying to follow this guide but it keeps telling me "error formating /data" and I am using the latest cmr image.3.0.2.8

As of now I can't do anything at all with my nook, when it boots back to stock it starts flashing the screens.
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
Did you read the top of the article referenced two posts up on this very screen? Here's some more concise info with a link to the files to update CM to 3.2.0.1.
[Nook Color General] kingston73:
My fault, I thought the 3.0.2 was the most updated, thank you for the other thread though it was easier for me to understand. I updated to 3.2.0.1 cmr and followed the instructions again, exactly by the book.

My NC boots up and appears to function fine, it's telling me it is at 1.0.1 version and all functions EXCEPT when I plug it into the computer nothing happens. The nook sees that it is connected to the usb but my computer can't see it as a drive and won't let me transfer any files. Also, the nook won't let me download anything from my barnse and noble library, so it doesn't actually function as an ereader. Any ideas at all to fix would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I have read all 15 pages of this thread, sorry for my earlier repeat question as I realized it's been asked several times before, but after analyzing everything in the directions many times, and updating to version 1.2 it seems like it finally works. I don't know what was missing with 1.0.1 but the flashable update to 1.2 did the trick. So finally I'm going to try to update to 1.4 and see if things go well.
[Nook Color General] cryomag:
I had the same issue you were having.... You may want to try this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050520.. Follow the directions in this thread and replace 1.0.1 zip file with the 1.2 signed file....
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
I restored directly to B&N 1.3, then updated to 1.4.1, but you're supposed to be able to go directly to the latest from 1.0.x, from what I understand.
[Nook Color General] rekaviles:
Following these steps, I finally was able to "Format system" but formatting data give an error.

Any reason for this?

*I'm trying to reinstall stock img after nook hung during hard reset. After 2 hours of waiting I restarted NC and would never boot back up, so I found this thread, made the bootable SD card, installed CWR and now i'm stuck here.

I tried installing stock 1.01 without completing the "format data" part, but it stays stuck on the gray screen with the "n".

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. :)

** using cwr v3.0.0.5
[Nook Color General] kingston73:
See post #146 above, I had to update my CMR to the absolute newest version in order to be able to format data. Without the data format, mine wouldn't work and it actually still didn't work correctly until I installed the B&N update to 1.2

I don't know if I could have just flashed the 1.4 update right away, I can only tell you what worked for me personally.

1. I had to follow these directions:

http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...workmod-version-3-2-0-1-recovery-sd-card.html

to install clockwork 3.2.0.1, the version you're trying to use doesn't work for formatting data.

2. I then followed the directions you just posted, formatted and installed 1.01

3. With mine for some reason it still didn't work, so I downloaded the 1.2 signed file posted earlier onto my sd card and flashed that file while still in clockwork.

http://www.mediafire.com/?a1lg5w8thbbkp9t

4. once 1.2 was installed I rebooted and the reboot set everything back to stock 1.2, from there I was able to finally update directly to 1.4

Hope this works for you.:D
[Nook Color General] rekaviles:
Nothing is working. Now it doesn't turn on at all. I created bootable with newest CW and nothing. I read thru countless threads and tried Nookie Froyo bootable SD card, but the NC doesn't turn on or show any sign off boot.

I've left it charging and charger cable actually changed to green. I though it couldn't charge without being on, but its now lighting green when I plug it in.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
What problem do you have and what do you try to do?
[Nook Color General] rekaviles:
Tried a factory reset because of random reboots. Froze while in the middle, but I left it for a few hours just in case it would start up on its own. Finally had to power off and it never booted up again of course, just to the error msg. Cant remember exactly what it said.

Read some threads on this site to re-install stock, using CW and I was able to boot from SD into CW (3.0.0.5). Tried flashing 1.01 a few times. I would get to splash screen ( gray N ) but that's as far as it went.

After reading some more, I came across this thread and read that using CW 3.0.0.5 would give issues, so I looked into the Nookie Froyo.

Tried that and was able to install NC 1.2, but it continued to reboot during setup. After a few restarts, it wouldn't boot at all, so I tried booting back into CW (3.2.0.1). It showed "loading, after the first splash screen and turned off. I'm guessing maybe the battery died out. I had it pulled in the outlet the whole time, but I'm not sure it the NC charges when using CW.

I've spoke to have another NC sent to me because it never turned on again, after trying all night. Since you had a similar situation, I though using Nookie Froyo boot would turn it back on, but nothing worked.

This was for my daughter to use, so I wasnt looking to root or anything. I just wanted it back to its original state, but something was wrong with it from the beginning.

Thanks guys for the info anyways. This site helped me thru many devices, starting with the G1 ;)

Hello All,

Can some one help me with my "restore to stock" NC!?

Looks like I am almost there, it's just one "small" glitch :) NC is in the loop with NOOK COLOR by B&N (white background and rolling with shine text)

Before this screen after flash reboot, I've seen "Touch the Future of Reading"

then NOOK logo.

Some one around post 79 mentioned "repartition-boot-with-stock"

How do I use this files?

So far I did:

Created successfully bootable 4Gb SD then added 1.0.1 stock.

Boot->format->select file-> install-> reboot I got looped "NOOK COLOR" logo

Thank you!
[Nook Color General] rune5878:
I got it going ... Thanks!
[Nook Color General] WitheredHand:
I did the reset exactly as written but I'm stuck with only 1gb of internal memory. How do I fix that? I've tried searching on here but to no avail. The NC I'm working on is a refurbished unit Model: BNRV200
[Nook Color General] bnorthrup:
I got all the way up to step 8 but my sd card was formatted in NTFS so I don't think it recognized the nook .zip I had on my sd card. I was wondering how (since I formatted the system and data) to use it again since nothing will load besides the first cyanogenMod screen. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
If you already knew the problem (NTFS) then why not do exactly what the OP has shown?

Create a good bootable CwM R (3.2.0.1) uSD is the very first step.
[Nook Color General] mindstate:
doesnt work for me....
[Nook Color General] dannghiem0801:
This work for me without any problem.

I got a refurbished NC and after I installed CM72 on eMMC, I found out there a line on my screen that doesnt look right. So I revert mine back to 1.4.1 and repartition it back to 1Gb/5Gb after all.

It's very easy.

Thank you for all the great work.
[Nook Color General] nook711:
thank you!

I was able to revert my nook back to stock after a wild ride with a cm9 nightly build to my emmc! I'm back to running cm 7.1 encore off of a SD card and all is well again (for now until I try it again)!

So, thank you for all the people here at xda who make it all possible!
[Nook Color General] sun545:
Hi,

after a stock recovery 1.0.1 I was able to power on the NC and entering setup.

I registered as a new user but I had an error finishing setup. But the real problem is when I started for the 3-4 time. i have the screen "a new software update is being installed" but when the bar is completed, the NC restart and I have again the same message and installing again and again and again...bootloop. The other big problem is that I flash the recovery (I tryied many versions) of CWM on the SD but the NC won't start from SD card and I have the same bootloop...

is there a way to force the boot to the SD card?

(the card is burned correctly, I can see all the boot files)

thanks...

edit: I've already made an attempt to reset with the 8 power off, the Nc ask me if I want to factory reset, I accept but when restart I have the same "new software update.." bootloop

Someone please help. I've looked through the forums and couldn't find an answer that fits my situation. I just bought a Nook Color and it came with 1.3. I tried to downgrade it to stock using the nook-complete-restore-1.0.1 zip file on a 2GB sd card. I boot into CWM and flash the file, and I reboot the Nook without the SD card and it boots just like it should but when I am met with the setup screen, the touchscreen doesn't work.

Now whenever I am CWM I get e:can't mount/cache, recovery/log

e:can't open/cache/recovery/log; e:can't mount/cache/recovery/last_log; and e:can't open/cache/recovery/last_log. also when I try to format system and date i get error formatting data! and error formatting/system! I am using CWD 3/0/2/8.

I need help please!! Will donate to whoever can help me!! Please
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
A battery logo? That means the battery is not charged. It will not boot unless the battery is above 15%. Charge it for a while with your stock cable and charger. It should boot itself when charged enough.

[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
I don't know if you noticed the date on this thread, but it is very old. You don't want to use that old 3.0.0.5 SD anyway. It is not compatible with the newer nooks.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spdwiz18:
this is because the kernel is trying to run both ani's

Code:

/system/bin/bootanimation2nd

/system/media/bootani.qmg

/system/media/samsungboot.qmg

/system/media/samsungbootloop.qmg

Make backups, or just delete them, your choice.

you can do thise w/ root explorer. just long press on the file and choose delete or long press and choose copy and put then on your sd card then go back and delete. if you are still not sure how to do this let me know. i am more then willing to walk you through it.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spdwiz18:

http://www.4shared.com/audio/SzmSW7P0/PowerOn.html

it needs to be put in /system/etc

use root explorer to copy and paste it and let it overwrite the one there if there is one.

let me know what you think. I wish they could be longer but the boot system only let about 5 sec play. i had the whole into turned into a wav but only plays 3-5 sec of it so i shrunk to wav to save space. let me know what you think.

Btw im working on a whole theme/rom just an FYI.
