[Q] Installing CWR via Rom Manager in SD CM7?

Quick question...
If I install CWR via Rom Manager in an SD CM7 install does it take over the recovery partition of the SD card image or does it install to the eMMC recovery?
I'd like to keep the eMMC stock at this point since running off the SD is working so well now.
Bump...

I was wondering the same thing. Well, I haven't tried rebooting without the microSD, maybe I can do that and see if what happens or if I can boot into CWR. That would mean it's on the emmc.

Help with unrooting

I'd like to unroot my NC back to original stock. I run CM off the SD card. From what I've read, I can just format my SD card and then put a stock zip on it and flash it? Or am I wrong? Plus I'd like to reuse that SD card for something else afterwards.

Check out the restoring to stock section of the guide in my sig. It should get you where you want to be.

No... the B&N file is not installable from CWR... you can remove the SD (or just select eMMC and Recovery mode from the menu.... but... if you are running CM7 from SD... shouldn't have to restore original anyway... unless you installed something else on eMMC

It is installable via clockwork if you use the flashable zip.

Everytime I recover and flash, doesn't work. I can't even get into proper recovery to boot from SD. I'm thinking of trying to put the new zip on a different memory card.
Forgot to mention that I'm trying to upgrade from an old nightly to the latest stable or nightly 201. So I thought I'd try and unroot, then reroot.

Normally, we only use the term "unroot" when:
+ your currently run custom ROM, i.e. CM7 from eMMC
Other than that, don't use the term "unroot"
What is your current system now?

Are you using the latest version of clockwork? Also what program are you using to burn the image? Are you running it as admin?

I'm pretty sure its the latest Clockwork. I've tried almost everything but I just can't get into recovery. I believe I used WINIMAGE32?
I simply want to restore to stock and it seems confusing. Since I ran off SD, I thought I could simply format the SD and then go back to factory settings on my Nook. Now I read something about an 8 reboot process? Ah, so confusing!

You might have a bit of CWR on the emmc preventing your stock from updating. But there is also a video link in that thread that you can view to see step by step what you need. After you accomplish the steps, you can update to any version of stock you want.

You "restore to stock" by taking the SD card out of the slot and rebooting. Unless you did something horribly wrong, the stock ROM hasn't been touched by the SD card. You don't "root" an SD installation; it installs rooted. That being said, if you've been messing around with Clockwork, which only works with an emmc installation, you have probably installed a recovery partition on the emmc, but that won't affect running the stock Nook. It just affects your warranty.
To get the the SD card back to normal, reformat it. You may also have to remove the partitions on it with a tool like Easeus Partition Master beforehand.

Thanks, will try this.
Also how can I find out if the stock ROM or emmc was affected by CWR?

Try to format the card in a phone
Shaun thanks for the reply. I did that and then did it on pc. Seems to be okay. Its fat32

Idk, maybe i was just tired. I was able to successfully flash flexreaper ics. I guess my only concern now is my backed up roms dont show up in rom manager, running v 5.0.0.6. Any idea why? (cwm is version 5.5.0.4, if it matters)

Rom Manager is a phone app. I'd advise not using it for the 500/501. Unless they changed something in the past month, you could really wonk up your tab.
Check your Ext SD card. You should have a folder called Clockwork, which contains your recovery backups. (unless you already formatted your SD card)
When you make a recovery (either CWM or RA), you should boot to the recovery, and do your recovery backup/nand backup from there. NOT through Rom Manager.

Stuck at google screen with an unlocked lock at the bottom

So I just unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.2
and then I wanted to install a custom rom (smoothest rom).
I used the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31931117#post31931117(it makes me boot into fast boot, wipe my data, install recovery + kernel ability, and then told me to boot into recovery and it would upload my rom to /sdcard) and for some reason after I clicked push the smoothest rom to sd card, i tried to install it via cwm, but it said there was no SD card. Obviously I knew there was no SD card, but I thought that it would push it to somewhere else. After that, I'm stuck at a google screen with a lock at the bottom and I have no idea what to do.
I can still get to CWM. But rebooting it and everything doesn't do anything.
Help please?
The device has an internal SD card... If the file isn't there, you will have to do either ADB push or sideload.

FUBAR

So I tried to update my wife's nook color from cm7 to the latest cm10. I had messed up the partition layout before but she would never let me try to fix it, so I was trying to re partition it to the 1/5 set up. It will not read the SD card, either within the ROM or in recovery. I was able to get the repartition files to what the ROM thinks is the SD card but it won't flash. I tried to reboot into recovery to flash the reformat zip and it is now stuck in cyanoboot. It will not boot into recovery, ROM (CM7), or a boot able SD I made.
What are my options?
Force a factory reset and start over? I've never had luck with the 8 failed to boot method.
Thanks foe the help

You need to use my bootable CWM card found in my tips thread linked in my signature. It has been modified to boot in these circumstances. Then go to my partition repair thread and run those zips. It will take you back to 1/5.

I gotta say, you guys here in the NC forums are the best. Thanks form the quick reply
**edit**
So I got it up and running, just one little issue. It gets stuck at the bootloader screen and it wont boot into recovery. I can get it yo boot into the sd recovery and flash/backup whatever I want, and then reboot system. But it won't reboot recovery from cm10 or cyano boot menu

Do you mean to boot to internal recovery? There is none there after you did the partition repair. It wiped everything. And if you put a CM rom back on it, that does not put any recovery on it, just the rom. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and there are several recoveries there to put on emmc. I recommend the 5.5.0.4 version for emmc.

"or reboot into the rom". What does that mean? You cannot get the new flashed rom to boot? Or did you mean you could not get it to boot to internal recovery from the power menu in CM10? If the latter, try installing a different recovery to internal to see if the twrp install corrupted somehow.
