Update 20111117: Updated .zip file to Adobe Flash 11.1 and AIR 3.1.
Update 20111020: Updated .zip file to reinstall Flash and AIR, previous version didn't properly fix AIR.
Steps I used to update Adobe Flash (to version 11.0) and AIR (version 3.0) so it doesn't update automatically and thus get me back into the boot loop cycle (again):
Go to Titanium Backup ( Pro )
You need to uninstall with this since these are system apps
Buy a Pro key and keep it on your SD card root, since this app will save your bacon
Uninstall Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash Player from Titanium Backup
It will warn you that you are uninstalling a system app, that's OK
I think that is why the update through Market isn't working
Open Market, Install Adobe Air (3.1.0.488 as of this post) and Adobe Flash Player (version 11.1 11.1.102.59 as of this post)
Nook seems to be working after several reboots. Also, note that Adobe updated their apps. After following the procedure above, I was able to update via Market without any problems with bootlooping.
Obviously, the above steps only work BEFORE Adobe gets auto-updated and you get in the boot loop cycle. If you are already in the boot loop cycle, download this file (Updated link, should work better this time):
FlashPlayer11.1_AIR3.1_Update_Fix_20111117
and install it using a ClockworkMod Recovery SD card.
Get a ClockworkMod Recovery SD card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11987469
Put the zip from the above post on the SD card
Reboot your Nook with the SD card inserted
Install from Zip, Select zip from SD card, select the flash update
This basically will uninstall flash and air as system apps and install as a user apps. This is based on the zip from GMPOWER which updated flash to 10.3, which worked for some but not others, perhaps because it didn't touch Air:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16526691&postcount=7
Also note, I have been through several cycles of restoring backups, restoring to factory, re-rooting, etc. this last week, so I was getting very annoyed and cautious. I think I was able narrow it down to just the Adobe updates causing my problems. I have been able to update ROM Manager, Superuser, and just about everything else with updates; and besides the Adobe updates, everthing worked, and I don't currently have a boot loop problem.
Note, I didn't update Superuser or ROM Manager until after I applied the above updates to Flash and AIR. After several reboots, my Nook is still working fine.
For those of you who are still having trouble getting your Nook back, and the attached zip doesn't work for you, you can do the following. Using the instructions on this site, I got my Nook back up and running to factory new condition:
http://mrm3.net/nook-color-recover-any-bricked-device/
(Quick method at top, not older methods below; instructions slimmed down from several posts here at XDA, updated for stock 1.2) also here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 (original restore to stock post)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050520 (update for stock rom 1.2)
Then, I registered my Nook (again).
At this point, I could have tried to update to 1.3, but my patience was a bit low, so I didn't go for it. If you do, be sure to follow the appropriate ManualNooter instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
Since I was still on Stock 1.2, I rooted using ManualNooter 4.6.16
(while in CMR, after running ManualNooter, I also applied update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip, and that seemed to work without a hitch)
Then I reinstalled all the other apps I wanted on my Nook,
=== BUT DID NOT YET UPDATE ADOBE FLASH OR AIR ===
Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, updated a lot of my apps using Market and Amazon Appstore, restored data and other apps from Titanium Backup,
Then I made a full backup of my Nook using CMR. (still booting normal, running fast and clean)
After confirming my Nook was as I wanted it, and that I had a good backup, I did the steps at the top of this post to update Adobe Flash and AIR.
After confirming that was working, and getting another backup on my SD. I then did the updates to ROM Manager and Superuser. It seemed like those updates happened at the same time as the boot loop, so I was cautious. My Nook is still working well without boot loops as of yet.
Results:
Kernel: Stock 1.2
Rooted with: ManualNooter 4.6.16
Additional Mods:
update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip,
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.1,
ROM Manager 4.5.0.1, Titanium Backup 4.5.2,
Adobe Flash 11.1, Adobe AIR 3.1 (uninstalled system app, reinstalled via Market, updated via Market)
[Update Zip] CMR zip to update Flash Player and Air
I updated the original post with a link to the zip to fix the FlashPlayer and Air apps. I had intended to post it here, but since I'm new, I can't link externally in a reply.
Please let me know if there are any problems with the zip and I will get it updated. It worked on my Nook.
I updated the zip file 20111020 to fix a problem with the AIR reinstall.
Wow, thank you so much for this! I wish I had known this on the weekend when I was gong crazy trying to figure out why I was getting bootloops over and over. I can't seem to give you thanks though (probably because I never post, just lurk).
So far I haven't done the uninstall/re-install with TB. I am just making sure my Adobe air and Flash don't update, and when Air did I went into Nook Color Tools and uninstalled the update to set it back to what it was originally. That worked but it is a pain if it keeps happening. I will try the TB to uninsall the programs.
I too did a update on ROM Manager and Superuser (and a binary update), and all is still well. No bootloops. I hold my breath though every time my NC gets to the "color" part until the N appears and it all disolves.
thanks for this!!! this was really getting very frustrating.
Well while I would like to report that the flash fix worked, it didn't. It was already on the boot loop so I installed the update with a flashed SD card and nothing. Still stuck in a boot loop. At this point I am just about ready to give up on this device being a fully functional tablet.
Thanks for this information. My nc is currently in a bootloop and won't load CWR. It shuts off before getting to that point (my bootloop is adobe air related). None of the restore to stock via SD card have worked for me. I'm now looking at ADB options, the post you referenced with the fix has some instructions for that. Did you use the ADB or the SD card instructions? I was actually rooted with CM7 before the bootloop.
Thanks,

I realized that my zip was not working to uninstall and reinstall Air properly. Try the updated zip file in the post.

I used the SD card instructions. Unless you have done something strange to your nook (not sure what), it should always boot from the SD card first, so you should never have problems booting into CMR from an SD card.
If the link in the original post doesn't work for you to get a CMR SD card, try the instructions here:
http://mrm3.net/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/
If you have a newer Nook, you may need to repartition your Nook's internal memory and use CMR version 3.2.0.1. See details here (this guy just condenses the instructions you can find on various posts on XDA, and tries to keep it up-to-date)
http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-blue-dot-nook-color/
Also note that I updated the zip file in the post to correctly uninstall and reinstall Flash. I re=bootlooped my nook, and after applying the new zip, my nook was working.
Just an update....
I wanted to let U guys know that I had updated Adobe Flash, Air and Super Users and this has worked for me. I also went to double check the versions of both Flash an Air and they are the newest versions!? I still went to uncheck the "Update Automatically" setting in the market for them both just in case for future updates for the time being. Back up and Running! Thanks Again to ALL involved who put contributions to this
This may have worked for me
I tried the updated fix posted here, and the Nook booted properly. Thank you for this fix; I hope it continues to work for me.
I will have to locate the automated back up mentioned here (Titanium), and I will see how this works. I had been leaving my Nook on at all times to avoid the reboot until I turned it off yesterday, forgetting that I did not want to do that.
Awesome post.
So...after all this is said and done and I manage to get a restore image to load and actually boot, now the library doesn't sync and the shop won't load and I get error messages such as " internal error exception executing the command ". It is like the B&N servers are confused. Any ideas about that?
I'm having the boot loop issue and neither the zip nor the 1.2 restore work to get past it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!!!! You are my new best friend. XD I ended up reflashing several times before I found this post. Followed the instructions and my Nook is happily running Android again without reinstalling (again!). I thank you. My Nook thanks you. And the Angry Birds who would have had to start from scratch thank you.
Thank you! It appears to work now. I've restarted a few times with success!
Took me about an hour to find this thead. I knew there would be an easier fix than starting from scratch. The zip worked on my rooted 1.2
Thanks! Keep up the good work
Thanks! That worked for me.

From my previous searches, it seems the boot loop is usually caused by either an incompatible installation of Adobe flash, or an incompatible kernel (central part of the ROM). Hopefully the OP zip will fix the first, but I'm not sure of another way to fix the second, other than reflashing and rerooting. How far in the reflash/reroot process do you get before it boot loops again?

Hmm, haven't seen that error. I'm not sure whether its related to the same problem. It sounds like you might need to re-register your nook with B&N. I'm not sure if you can do this without restoring to stock. Not much help, sorry.
I can't post a reply to this ([NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16) thread yet - Still new to these forums... I was one of the many in that thread who had installed ManualNooter 4.6.16 on Nook Stock 1.3 only to end up with a boot loop.
Wish I had found this thread last week - would have saved me a lot of headaches!
It's okay though - every boot loop is another opportunity to learn something new.
Thanks much for the easy walkthrough and I hope others find their way here too.
Just saw another new update for Flash & Air .. released yesterday I believe. Has anyone try them yet ? Just don't want to was my time getting into a boot loop again by updating it.

Hey guys,
Since I've had my Nook Color (installed CM7 as soon as I got it), I've never been able to connect to my wifi, I always thought it was my router's fault. The other day I got my girlfriend one, and installed cm9 on it for her. It connected to wifi straight away and browsed the internet with no problem. I thought maybe CM9 thus had a fix for wifi and installed it on mine, but alas, still no internet Has anyone had problems with their wifi on the Nook and been able to fix it? I REALLY want to connect, I just don't know what else I can do. Would messing with the partitions possibly cause this? It's definitely my Nook that is the problem, cause I did the EXACT same installation of CM9 on both of them, and only my wifi isn't working properly. Also, mine tends to freeze quite often on CM9, and hers does not?
ANY help will be really appreciated!!
Thanks,

See if you can go back to stock and set up wifi first, then install CM.

Are you doing a factory reset with your CWM card before you flash CM to emmc? The freezing makes it sound like your old data is carrying over.
Yea, I've done a few factory resets by holding in the n key when powering on. I've also cleared the Dalvik cache, /data and /system in Recovery.

What version of CWM are you using to do the clearing of /data? You must use version 3.2.0.1 or newer or /data will not clear properly on the newer Nooks.

The reason the bootable cards are working is because they start with a clean /data. The reason stock works is because the /data is setup properly to run with stock. I still believe there is stuff carrying over in the /data on emmc. I don't know more to tell you other than to keep trying to clear /data on emmc with CWM. Watch for error messages when you do.
You are using the CWM on the bootable SD from the eyeballer thread aren't you? Not the one on the dual boot card or emmc?
aphiFnt jot
It's weird though, because I've been clearing it constantly for like 3 days trying to fix it. Maybe I need a later version of CWM? Where can one find the latest version?
The filename of the one I'm using at the moment is: "1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.img"

I'm still on the triple boot on SD (on which the wifi was working), but now when I turned the screen on from sleeping, the wifi isn't working anymore! It just goes "scanning....connectng...disconnected" and loops like that. I've tried forgetting the connection, and turning my wifi off and back on again, but it's still not working. What on earth is going on with my Nook??

CM9 tends to do that. Try CM7.... You know it may be your nook is defective somehow.
That IS with CM7 Flip, I hope it's not a problem with the actual Nook, cause there's 0% chance of getting another any time in the near future. It also often freaks out, as if it is getting many ghost touches. I have to turn off the screen fror a while to fix that. This is such a downer
ps, I can't seem to figure out how to use that new CWM. I'm used to making a bootable SD with the eyeballer IMG file, but this one is just a zip. How do I use it to make the bootable SD? Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I really don't understand

OK, that zip was meant for flashing to your emmc. If you want to use it in a bootable SD follow these instuctions. Put eyeballers SD in your PC. Unzip the downloaded racks CWM zip. There will be two files in the root, uRecImg and uRecRam. Copy those to the SD. On the SD will be two other files, uImage and uRamdisk. Rename those to .bak. Then rename uRecImg to uImage and uRecRam to uRamdisk. Now you can remove the SD and put in the nook and boot. You should now have the new 5+ CWM.
Thanks I'm still a bit confused though, don't you make a bootable CWM SD so that you can boot into CWM from the sd card and THEN flash CM7 or CM9 to your Nook? How would I flash CWM to emmc?

Use the 3.2.0.1 card to flash the new Racks CWM. It will put it on emmc for use later. Then you can boot to it directly using the keys at boot time. It's been so long since I have used stock I can't remember the key combinations. Or you can flash CM7 to emmc with 3.2.0.1 and use the boot menu that comes with CM7 to boot to emmc recovery, which is now 5+. Then you can use that to wipe /data or flash new ROMs.
Hey again Last night I tried for quite a while to get that CWM5 to work, by making an eyeballer boot sd, then putting those two files in the CWM5 zip in place of the existing ones. But when I turn the Nook on, it just hangs at the CWM loading screen (with the 2 skulls)?
OK so my wife just got a nexus 7 so now I can play around with her nook color
It is on some older stock B&N firmware and has an old clockwork mod recovery (in the v3 area I think) that was installed way back when on the EMMC. Is it on for me to flash current ROMs and then update to CWM v6 once I am on cm or something?
Or do I have to update CWM first and then I can flash away?
Also, is everything a bootable SD now for this? Is it OK yo have CWM on EMMC?

You can use the old CWM to flash, but some of the older versions do not do a good job of wiping things before flashing the CM rom. And you really should wipe your data before flashing CM over stock. If it is version 3.2.0.1 or newer it is ok. You can get the latest CWM (v5.5.0.4, both in a bootable SD and in a version that can be flashed to emmc) in my tips thread linked in my signature.

Hi,
I had cm7 installed on sd card and now i want to try PA CM9 on same card. I formmated sd card and used verygreen's image to put ParanoidAndroid zip on sd card and then inserted it in nook. I got errors telling me that it can't find cm-update files. I thought it would normally install new rom but i guess i had to first wipe old informations from nook from cm7. What should i do now?
Thank you in advance
You have to rename the file .. add "update-" to the front of it (without quotes but with dash) and flash again. You don't have to wipe anything..
Thx that worked but now it's stucked at black screen after universal boot screen. Last time i did this with cm7 it went perfect smooth.

Are you using the latest PA? I found that the version prior to the latest did not work on SD installs. And PA is kind of particular and you may want to wipe your card and start fresh.
Hi,
So I got my girlfriend this gift basically right when it came out. I rooted it, and flashed CM 7.1 RC1 (literally came out that day) a long time ago.
She gave it to me yesterday to get her PDF's on there. I opened the market and nothing would pop up except for the like 5 total apps, while the Browser was working 100% fine. I go to my apps in the market and try downloading updates and they kept failing. I was frustrated, so I downloaded the latest Cyanogen Nightly and Gapps. I updated CWM to 6.0.3.1, then made a backup of the existing ROM. I went into recovery, and tried finding the Nightly and Gapps I downloaded, but the SD Card would never mount. I'm not sure how I can fix this.
Please help, thanks a ton!

Since you did it so long ago, do you remember if you installed the CM7 to emmc or SD? That may be your issue.
And how did you get 6.0.3.1? Rom Manager? That may be your issue too.

Do you need the SD inserted for it to boot to your CM7? If so, you installed to SD and with an SD installation, you do not use CWM to install upgrades. That is why you cannot see the zip you downloaded. If you want to upgrade a CM7 SD install to CM10, you need to start over with a newly burned SD. The old SD setup is not compatible with CM10. Use my guide linked in my signature.
You might just want to put CM10 on internal memory, replacing whatever is there. Just download the new CM zip to emmc with CM7, boot to emmc CWM, remove the SD, wipe data/factory reset and flash the new CM zip using the "install from SD/choose from internal memory" option. Then you need to flash the right gapps to match. Then reboot. Once you are sure everything is working, you can format your old SD with SDFormatter so it can be used as a normal data SD. Get it free on the web.
