[Q] Noob here, need help overclocking, running CM7 off SD card

I read the Dalingrin's OC kernel thread, but its still not very clear how I go about installing kernel to overclock my NK.
Any help and tips are truly appreciated. Again I'm a complete NOOB.
I read the threads learned how to install CM7 using size-agnostic installer and installed Gapps successfully.
Now I'm stuck can't figure out how to install Dalingrin's OC kernel for SD card. I identified which version I need for my NK using SD card, but can't figure out what to do next.
HELP!!!!

If you're using verygreen's agnostic SD install for your CM7 SD, all you need to do to update to the OC kernel is drop the zip into the boot directory and boot into restore to install it, just like updating to a newer nightly.

Houston we have a problem, I keep trying to boot into recovery mode, but for some reason it's not working.
I have read several threads to figure out how to, but its not working.
I followed the Size Agnostic tip: holding power and N button simultaneously until Loading...comes up, letting go of power button, and unpressed power button again until loading comes up again, and then unpressed power button and unpressed N button when Loading...disappeared. COULD NOT GET ME INTO RECOVERY MODE, TRIED SEVERAL TIMES.
I tried selecting reboot from CM7 desktop and selected reboot into Recovery Mode. DID NOT WORK EITHER.
I tried other methods listed on the size agnostic forum, still a no go.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! I want to be able to OVERCLOCK MY NC.

I haven't followed up on verygreen's SD image in a while since switching to EMMC, but you might want to check if he added fattire's boot select menu which would indicate very clearly if you've successfully entered recovery.
The power + n can be tricky -- verygreen also fixed an issue recently where it would boot into a blank screen when attempting to boot into recovery after flashing a new nightly (or OC kernel). The booting into recovery from CM7 desktop does not work (stated by VG himself, unless he's fixed it in a recent update) for this SD install.

What is fattire's boot slect menu?
Yea, I keep trying the power and N button combinations with no luck. I'm so stuck. I just want to overclock my NK. lol

[Q] Installing CWR on nook

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to install clockwork recovery on to the nook itself. I can boot it up with an sd card, but since I want to put muiu on the nook, it seems like a good idea to have recovery on the nook.
There don't seem to be any link to the latest version of cwr in the development thread, and it has been a couple of weeks since someone posted there asking for a link, but never got a reply.
I guess what I'm really looking for is a .zip of the latest clockwork recovery that I can install on the nook through the clockwork recovery I have on my sd card.
Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated!

Go to ROM manager in applications and select Flash CWM Recovery. It'll install to the emmc.

He's running off an SD card. ROM Manager only works with internal installations.
To the original poster: Once you flash CWR to the eMMC you no longer have a stock Nook for the purposes of warranty. Why not just go all the way and put CM7 on the eMMC? You can follow the directions here: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/
Make sure you choose the newest version of CWR (v3.2.0.1) when you do this!

Yeah, but CM7 on SD still has ROM Manager installed. OP wants to put CWM on the emmc. Hitting the "Flash CWM Recovery" selection in ROM Manager will put the latest CWM on their emmc. (I know it does, because I was noob enough to accidentally do it to my own Nook).
But that's what Crwly was asking about, right?

I am dual-booting CWR and CM7, both off the microSD. I used verygreen's installer to put CM7 on the microSD first, then installed racks11479's modified CWR. This does not satisfy ROM Manager, but it does let you backup, restore, and install zip packages off your 4th partition.
EDIT: Oh, and you do need another microSD to boot CWR, before you could use it to "flash" CWM SD Dualboot 0.1 to your current microSD.

[Q] Backup in SD CM9 Rom Manager

I have been running CM9 on NC SD card for a ,couple of days now. I have CM7.1 in emmc. I find CM9 to be more phone-ey but I haven't had time to truly get used to it. I attempted to backup via Rom Manager today, it dumped me into recovery, tried to install gapps, failed & shut down. Anyone have issues like this. Not stopping production, but I love my backups. Just can't get enough.

ROM Manager does not work with SD installs. If you try to use it, it tries to boot to CWM recovery to accomplish its tasks. You have no CWM recovery on an SD install. It is a special recovery script written by verygreen. That is what you see scrolling by after ROM Manager tells it to reboot.
But there is a way to put a custom CWM recovery as an alternate recovery on the SD. It has been specially modified to work with the SD installed partitions. It can back up your SD system for you. See my post here:

Thanks, I appreciate the information. You are a pal.

[Q] Cant get into recovery, re-install under Linux?

I have flashed several roms using CLW already and it always worked fine, but now I'm really stuck.
The problem is that I installed the Hyperdroid CM7 rom. It worked fine. But when I wanted to install the Google Apps I just couldn't get into the recovery mode from the MAGLDR menue anymore. It just says "ERROR ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image". I tried to update the CLW using the Rom Manager but it didn't solve my problem. Unfortunatelly I also can't boot the rom anymore now (I can't since I formated the SD card).
Can I now just install CLW again (over the existing version) with the "USB Flasher" option from the boot menue? Or can I repair the installed version somehow?
Is there a way of installing CLW under Linux? I've tried using WINE to run the daf.exe but it didn't work since it couldn't find the the usb connection.
Which would be the preffered method of installing roms NAND roms with Linux?
Thanks for any help in advance!

ROM Manager isn't compatible with MAGLDR, which is probably why your phone was messed up when you tried to use it. It only works if you use the cLK bootloader. As for your problem, I really can't see much else you can do other than fresh installing CWM through USB Flasher. I don't use Linux so I can't help you there, sorry.

Oh, I wasn't aware that MAGDLR isn't compatible with the ROM manager because it came with the MAGDRL/CWM rom i flashed. But thanks for that information!
Can I just install CWM "over" the allready installed but not existing version? Or will that cause even mor eproblems?

I think that would be fine, there isn't much point in Task29ing unless you are having major issues.

Ok,so since I couldn't get hold of a windows PC yet I couldn't re-install clockwork flashing with USB cabel.
But I couldn't load CWM recovery from SD card as described in this post #4 of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352395
I was not able install the CWM then in the second step form zip file on the SD card. Some error message appeared, but I was able to flash a ROM. So my CWM is still broken, but the ROM is working fine which is ok for me now. When I get access to a Windows PC I'll re-flash CWM too.
So the "Linux problem" isn't solved but anyone experiencing problems to get into recovery from MAGDRLR menu should try the way in the above mentioned post.

Glad to hear it You aren't putting CWM 5.0.2.6 SD as a zip on your SD card by any chance are you? Because you need to extract it to your SD, I misread it first time around and was quite confused as to how that worked as a .zip file.

[Q] Can someone explain to me "Recovery" ?

Hi all,
Previously i had "Dual boot cm7/cm9" on sdcard and when booting into recovery i was able to find my way around about flashing zips and everything.
Now i wiped SD card and installed, first generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large.img , then CM9 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526115.
Now i have 1) eMMC recovery 3.2.0.1 which has "normal" menu, and if i choose Apply zip from SD card, i cannot find CM9.zip which i downloaded from Goo Manager.
And i also have 2) SD recovery, which is just bunch lines of code with penguin in left corner and after lines of code it just shuts down.
How can i have "normal" recovery menu on SD recovery too?
Thank anyone for help!

If i understood correctly from your tips , there is NO CWM Recovery for SD installs,
so how do we do a backup or restore ROM then?

You read my tips correctly. But keep reading my tips further. There is a section there about installing an alternate CWM recovery for verygreen SD installs that can do backups and restores.
You should read all of Section B.
