I rooted my phone today, then installed Rom Manager. Using Rom Manager I tried to install Cyanogen Mod 7 RC 1. It seemed to install fine, but when it starts up it goes to the Cyanogen Mod 7 splash screen and loads for a few seconds, then restarts(not the phone, it just replays the splash screen). I backed up my previous Rom, but I don't know how to restore it. Can someone help me get CM7 working or tell me how to restore my previous rom.
EDIT: I got the standard rom recovered, so I don't really have to worry about that part anymore? But how could I get CM 7 to work if I wanted to re flash it?
Do a nandroid backup through ROM manager first off if you haven't already.
Did you do a full data/cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flashed CM7RC1?
Did you flash Gapps at the same time as the ROM?
btw the RC2 has been out for a while.
Er...no. How do I do wipe the cache data? Also, I don't even know what Gapps is. I'm quite ignorant on the subject of roms.

It really is good to do this through recovery, although if you're not comfortable with general use of recovery, I think if you flash the CM7 zip through ROM manager you can check the box for "wipe data + cache".
Gapps is "Google Apps" aka market etc. etc.. These aren't included in the ROM, and I bet you'd like to have them . The link for the latest Gapps is in the CM7 ROM thread in the dev section. Haven't used ROM manager to flash in a long time (I do it through recovery manually) but I think you can check the box to install Gapps at the same time too if you don't wanna do it manually.
Yeah, I chose to install Google Apps. But are you saying if I download the zip file for CM7 like on my pc, then transfer it to my sdcard then fflash it that way, then I should be able to wipe the cache?

And data. it is extremely paramount (imho) that you wipe all of your data/cache/dalvik before flashing to ensure you get a good quality install.
Also, make sure you have the latest CWM recovery installed via ROM manager (assuming that you do already). Its 3.0.0.5 .
Like I said ROM manager can do this, but for nightlies/RC I just do it through recovery and make sure it gets done right.
i dont see a guide on how to flash these roms.
i have never done one, i looked through the Resource Bible - Guides | HowTo | Mods | ROMs | Themes | UPDATED 4/8/11 but it doesnt tell me how to flash to these, only to clockwork recovery...
ive downloaded the "GB-Sense-Glacier-Leak" file and the "BFS-Like + CFQ Tweaked STOCK KERNEL"..
where do i put these files on my sd card and how do i go abouts flashing it...

I'm new to flashing custom kernels, but what I would like to do is install PA Beta 8 with Gapps + Leankernel / Minimalistic kernel.
What order do I take?
1. Wipe Data / Cache
2. Flash PA
3. Flash Kernel
4. Flash Gapps
I plan to also backup my stuff and move it off the SD, and wipe the SD before starting so I can clean up my SD directory structure.
Anyone see something I'm missing/ should do different?
Thanks
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache
3. Format system
4. Install the rom
5. Install gapps
6. Reboot tablet and set it up
7. Flash kernel
On sgsiii we set the phone up so the rom can settle in and then start flashing kernels/mods. Might be an overkill pn n7 though.

There isn't a point imo. Some people like to wipe things 3 times and a a lot of other steps that seem unnecessary to me. The only thing I can think is if the custom kernel is unstable and it might help troubleshoot problems

hes right, there is no point. as there no point in wiping cache/dalvik if your wiping data(factory reset). if coming from a different rom then wipe data, flash the rom, flash the gapps, and flash the kernel. if updating the same rom then flash the rom, flash the gapps, and flash the kernel.

I would wipe cache/dalvik cache and format system in mounts and storage, and flash the PA rom and the latest PA google apps.
Go Here:

After that download the GAPPS:

Next, you download the bootloader and baseband for 4.2.2 here

After you have finished downloading everything, save whatever you need on your phone on your computer/cloud storage or whatever saving method you use and put all of the above files into your phone. Boot into recovery and start wiping. Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. wipe system, and factory reset. Once you're done wiping, go to the files and flash them all one by one until you're finished. Finally, reboot and you're finished.

Against the growing? Hm. I think you meant ground. The Nexus 4 doesn't want you to type something so harsh on it! Lol.
I'll start by apologizing if this has been covered elsewhere. I looked but couldn't find it. I am definitely a noob, but trying to learn.
I bought a Nook Color already rooted a few years ago. Under "About Phone", it does say Model number is NookColor, it is Android version 2.3.7, and the Mod version is CM-7.1.0-encore. (kernel version 2.6..32.9 if it matters)
It already had ROM Manager on it, and when I boot into recovery, it has CWM 3.2.0.1. When I try to update CWM with Rom Manager, it tells me that I have an unsupported device. When I click Device not listed above, it pops up with "NookColor does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
I assumed somebody must have so I hit "yes", and it asked me to confirm the version. I clicked on ClockworkMod 3.x+. It tells me after that Rom Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation. I hit "ok", and under Recovery Setup, it tells me Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x I did reboot into recovery, and it still comes up as version 3.2.0.1
My question is, is there a way to download the most current version of CWM to my sd card and install it from CWM? If so, does anyone know where I could find the download?
My goal is to update to CM11, and the instructions I have tell me I need the latest version of CWM.
First off, get rid of ROM Manager, it does nothing but screw up Nook Colors. You can get a new enough version of CWM at this post:

Thank you for the reply. Yeah, I kind of figured I needed to get rid of that. I had already downloaded cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore, and gapps-kk-20140606-signed in order to do this. I had a hard time getting those gapps for some reason, I hope they are the right ones. I looked that that thread. I must be blind. I can't see where I would get the latest CWM. I also don't know what to do with it when I do find it.

I flashed the rom and the gapps, and it looked like it was doing it, but as it was saying uninstaling old apks and installing new ones etc, it was taking a while. I left the room to find it rebooting back in to CM7. Should I go back in and reflash again and stay put this time?

Sorry it took so long to answer. I'm on the east coast, I was sleeping when you sent your last message. It says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 at the top. I don't know if the word "based" means anything.
I had checked the MD5 Checksum with a utility I found for the CM-11 nightlies I found off of Download.CyanogenMod.org, and they matched.
I thought that maybe that the Nook was having trouble with my external card so I put the rom and the gapps on the internal card and tried it, and it still gives me the errors.
This is what I have been doing, and this is according to instructions I found in another thread:
1. I wipe data. on the nook screen it says:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:unknown vulume for path [/sd-ext.]
formatting /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
I then wipe cache partition:
--Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete
I then wipe Dalvik cache under advanced:
It says Dalvik Cached wiped.
then I go to choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 and pick cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip (also tried with 20150607) that's where I get:
--Installing : /storage/sdcard1/cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip

Then it shows the Android guy keeled over. I then do a restore and he pops back up. on the screen it says:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
I boot back into system, and it loads CM-7 as if it was it's first day. It wants me to sign in to Google account etc.
I thought that when you do all those wipes, that at least the internal card wasn't supposed to have much left on it. It appears like mine has everything that it always had, not that I kept much in there. It does show files for ADW Launcher. Unless maybe they were restored through Google when I signed in.
Sorry this post is so long, but if you are helping me, I wanted to be detailed.
Everything is as it should be except for that error 0 and your backup md5 mismatch.
Just some things to point out. A factory reset wipes data and cache. So no need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, those are both wiped with the factory reset. And a factory reset does not wipe system, that is usually done by the new rom installer. Since that failed, system was not wiped and still had cm 7 still on it, but not set up since you wiped data.
And a data wipe does not wipe your files on the internal sdcard, which is why you still had some files from your prior installation.
And you need a newer CWM, version 6.0.4.8, for roms after 5/16/14:

Yes, it certainly would have made it easier. That newer cwm allowed me to install the rom and gapps.
The only problem I am seeing now is that I don't see the Play Store icon. I see Play Books, Play Games, Play Movies & TV, Play Music, and Play Newsstand, but no Play Store. I am going to assume that I didn't have the correct gapps.
If that is the case, do you know where I can find them, and would I just flash it, and do I need to wipe anything afterwards?
Incidentally, even after flashing this rom I still have files left from things that I had installed before that I don't want. Are those just to be deleted manually?

Yes you must manually delete any sdcard files you don't want.
And I have a version of gapps for KitKat here:

If flashing that does not fix it, go to cwm and format /system, reflash the rom and new gapps zips.

Are you sure that's the right gapps? I have 4.4.4 now and that file says 4.4.2 You're the expert, but I just want to double check.
By the way....how is a person supposed to know what the right gapps file is for the rom used? I know that roms are device specific, but I don't know about gapps. I put CM-11 on my wife's Kindle Fire. Can I use the gapps file that I used for hers?
By the way, if I don't like CM-11, can I put CM-10, or CM-12 on my Nook using the same CMW that I now have? It seems like this is a little slow, and for some reason the lock screen is always in landscape mode.

I was able to answer my own question. I actually did the wipes, and reinstalled the rom (just in case), and I flashed the gapps that I used on my wife's Kindle. Now I know that gapps are are not specific to the device. I don't know why there are so many different versions of gapps for a rom though. I also don't know how you are supposed to know which is the best to use. It seems like it's always buried in a thread somewhere, but where do you go to find the information out otherwise? Also, it seems like if you are going to flash a rom, you have to have the correct version of cwm, and that the most recent updated one isn't always best. How are you supposed to know which version for which rom? Also, do you know if they have stopped making nightlies for cm-11? The last one was on 6/14, and it seems a little buggy. If they do make one, and I want to flash it, do I just flash it, or would I have to do the wipes again and would that make me have to reinstall all my apps? As you can tell, I am trying to learn all about this.

As an end user, you do not really want to use nightlies, they are usually buggy and experimental. You want to use the latest snapshot which for the most part have their bugs worked out. Usually you can flash new nightlies over older nightlies without wiping. But if you go backwards, like from a newer nightly to an older one or an older snapshot, you should wipe. You can try it without wiping, but if you experience problems, go back and wipe, no need to reflash.

I downloaded and installed the M12 snapshot. Well, for one thing, the lockscreen is always in landscape mode. For another, it is now running just as slow as slow can be. Do you have any idea why that might be? I put the rom in my external sd card and installed from there. That's what I should have done correct? Is there another build that I should have put on here instead? I also noticed, that even after doing all the wipes, and installing new roms, I still had files from before I started all of this. Did it not wipe correctly?

Well, I am having some issues with this rom. For example, the wifi isn't as strong as it used to be, and some apps don't want to connect. When I reboot, app folders that I put on the desktop end up missing as well as some icons and I have to put them on again. I did go in to cwm and wiped the caches, but that didn't help, not to mention the continued landscape mode with the lockscreen. Any ideas? What rom do you think is best?

I never liked cm11. I liked cm10.1.3 the best. It is very stable and everything works. If you go to that you must downgrade your cwm. I have versions on my NC tips thread linked in my signature.
