CM7 n98 and OC Kernel - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there everyone, I didn't want to post a thread, but from searching around, I couldn't find anything really.
I bought my nook about a week ago, and I have it running on cm7's nightly build 98, from my sd card. Is there any way to get Dalingrin's OC kernel onto my nook? I've tried putting the update file onto the root of my sd card and booting to recovery, but it doesn't work. I've been dealing with rooting/rom'ing with my captivate for a while, so I am pretty sure I didn't mess up on the flash, but I'm at a loss. I know you nook veterans get annoyed at questions like this, but I just wanted to have a place where newbs such as myself could come for a definitive answer.
Thanks to anyone who helps in advance.

To boot to recovery from the SD card after you restart/reboot, hold the "n" button down before the green Cyanogenmod splash screen shows. Instead of "loading", you'll see something like "booting to menu". You can let up on the "n" key at that point. You'll get a screen that describes what to do, but you should boot to the SD card and recovery. The OC kernel will install if you have it located on the sd /boot. This is also the way to install a new nightly or stable ROM update.
Other methods of booting to recovery, such as pressing the power button or selecting recovery in the ROM Manager after Android has booted, don't work because they expect to see the install on the emmc, not the sd.

Thank you for that, last question. If I'm on nightly 98, can I flash whatever the newest one is over my current? and will it wipe anything?
Edit: I put the 6/13 oc kernel update file on the root of my SD, selected SD and recovery from that boot menu, but how do I check if it worked?

The default CM7 kernel has a max OC of 925Mhz in the CM7 Performance Settings. The 6/13 kernel has a default max OC of 1200Mhz.

I suppose it still didn't work then :/ I'll keep trying. Anyone know if a new nightly will wipe everything I have and have set up?

[Q] Update 1.2 with stock image but CWR installed

Hello,
First time posting, so thanks for the great forum. Found lots of info, that usually take care of my questions, but not this time.
A bit of info before my questions:
I have a dual-boot setup, stock not rooted image on emmc and uSD with CM7 RC4. The CWR was installed unintentionally after I was playing with he ROM Manager. Thought that CWR would be installed in uSD but it got installed on emmc. After an update I am now on CWR 3.0.2.8. I only go into the stock B&N image if I remove my uSD card.
I would like to update to 1.2 (I do use the stock reader app, mostly for magazines) but as far as I understood from other threads, this is only possible if CWR is not installed.
1 - Is it only possible to use the official update to 1.2 if CWR is not installed?
2 - Is there any way that I can remove the CWR without having to erase and register my nook again? I'm out of the USA, so it may be tricky, or it may not work at all.
I did saw several ways of removing CWR and going back to stock, but I just want to remove CWR and not touch the stock image.
Thanks!
i believe there's a mod to the 1.2 update in the development section that allows you to load 1.2 stock via CWR.
I did the same thing as you! Can't get it off.
Try this thread here in the nc development section:

@JamesEcht, chibucks
Thanks for the info. I had already spotted it, but I was wondering about removing the CWR and using the official update as well as boot recovery. There is a mention in that thread "Assuming you haven't fooked up any paritioning by using the "dual-boot" stuff ...", which I am not sure if I didn't.
I also spotted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 part2 "File to remove CWR and restore stock recovery (2):"
But I simple can't figure out if after removing CWR I have to do the 8 failed boots or if it simply removes CWR and the nook is back at default. Anybody knows?
Edit: Can I just use the boot.img from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353 and adb?

you didnt, in fact, you dont really have dual boot, that is when you have both roms installed in your main memory, so there is a partition trick you need to do.
CWR is nice, keep it , i would go for than method with the CWR, but i'm waiting for the "autonootered" version
Thanks for the reply don_ernesto. I have been reading a lot these couple of days and now I understand what a true dual boot is (with the changes in partitions, etc).
I figured out two ways of getting 1.2 onboard.
1 - Use the image for CWR
2 - Use the image from point 3 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 to remove CWR and install 1.2 as if it was an untouched nook!
But first I'll just back up all of my nook for good measure!

[Q] How to install an OC kernel??

Im trying to install an OC kernel on my NC running CM7.... but its not working. I install it and everything goes correctly, but i cannot surpass the 925 OC on CM7, even though it can go up to 1000ghz and 1100ghz.
Im using update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-042411.zip from dalingrins..
The "official" OC kernel thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
Not sure what to do or how the OC kernels work. He says to use CM7 settings to overclock, but the highest it goes up to is 925, which seems to be stock for that. Let me know if you can helppppp!
Thanks, Bobby

Are you installing the correct kernel for your install? EMMC vs. SD?
Are you installing the kernel itself & not the MD5 file on the kernel page?
What versions of recovery and CM7 are you using?

I installed the SD kernel, and it installed fine....but nothing new showed up.
I installed the EMMC kernel, which was a bad idea...and just didnt load up CM7.
I installed the kernel itself, and put it on the root of the SD card, flashed it, cleared the cache and dalvic, but it still says i have the stock kernel that came with CM7
I have CM7.0.2-encore...im using an 8Gb class 6 SD card.
I also tried kernel manager from the market...and tried installing the kernel that way but it literally reset my device to the stock 1.2 update with no CM7....it was wierd, so wont be doing that ever again. Im restoring everything now so ill be back to where i started. Its OC at 925 now, but cant go up any higher which means im not installing the kernel correctly....ughhhh

Ok. If you were previously running a recent nightly build you should have also wiped system & data. Also check your version of recovery. Current version of Clockwork Recovery is 3.0.2.8....What version are you using? I had tons of problems with kernels over the weekend using and older version of recovery that I was too lazy to update. I updated it and my troubles went away.

That you'll have to search for my friend. My install is to EMMC not SD and I've never really followed those processes. When you find it though, be sure to add it to your thread so that others may find the info as well.

Clockwork on EMMC will make your life much easier for everything. Flashing new roms, backing up, restoring, rebooting to recovery without having to change SD cards, etc...
That being said, I personally keep an sd card imaged with recovery, a rom, and gapps for uhh oh's, when I have to start over.
Follow that thread, first trying to use recovery from EMMC (if you can access it), if you can't access it use a bootable recovery sd (your uh oh card).....Some people say just wipe cache & dalvik, but the current CM7 nightlies and stable builds don't play nice when swapping back and forth.
Still dont know how to install the freakin kernellllll.UGHH>
So i updated my sd card to CMW 3.0.28, which is the newest. I downloaded the 4/24 SD kernel file and put it on the root of my SD. Backed up everything, flashed the kernel, wiped the cache and dalvic, rebooted the phone....and everything works like usual, except i still dont have the kernel apparently. In the Cm7 settings it still only goes up to 925 and in the info about the tablet it has kernel version 2.6.29-omap 1.....which is def not the one i flashed....any help?
P.S. im about to give up
P.P.S......not really lol.

Another idea....try downloading the kernel again. Could have been a corrupt download. If you've got everything backed up.....wipe system, data, cache, & dalvik then install your kernel through Clockwork (install .zip). Then make sure you allow enough time for your machine to boot fully, before you try adjusting you CM7 settings. Worst case scenario is that you have to restore your backup.

[Q] CWM problem

Good day all. I recently bought a Nook Color. I'm running CM7.0.2 along with gapps 20110613 from a 16gb SanDisk class 4 SD. When set up the apps (after enabling wifi) I got an error, due to the fact that my sucky router dropped the signal. As a result of this I was not able to download gmail, google maps, etc. My android market runs perfectly but I wanted to flash gapps so as to download gmail and the others. I went into ROM manager and updated to the latest CWM. However, no matter what I do I can't but into recovery. I tried n+power button, reboot into recovery from the power button menu, and from within ROM manager. All no go...it just booted into CM7, so I removed the SD card to boot into stock Nook 1.2 software. When I did this it brought me to the CWM recovery menu (SD card not in). Of course I could not select anything on the menu. Put back in the SD while still in the menu to try select an option but nothing. Shut it down by holding the power button and booted it back up and it went str8 into CM7. Shut down took out SD and it booted into stock Nook 1.2 software. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm trying to flash the overclock kernel and reflash gapps. THANKS
Could the reason gmail, youtube, googlemaps didn't install on setup be due to the fact that I'm not in the USA? If so I'd still like to know what the problem is so I can flash the overclock kernel.
No one has any idea? I know one option is to backup and redo everything, but I'd really like some troubleshooting ideas before.
Did you use the 1.3 image from verygreens thread? If so the old 7.0.* stables are not supported. You will need to back up and redo it either with the old image or a new CM7 version.

Yea I used the 1.3 in the thread with 7.0.2. What version cm7 would I need to use with the 1.3? 7.0.3 or a nightly,? Where would I be able to find an older image to work with 7.0.2 and what version of the image should it be?
The 1.3 image won't work with any 7.0.* versions. You should upgrade to either a recent nightly or the 7.1.0 RC. You could find an older image somewhere but there isn't much of a point as you would have to redo it all anyway so why not upgrade? Plus your battery life will improve by a lot as 7.1 RC and the nightlys have deep sleep.

As I said many times to newbie who runs CM7 off uSD that do not or should not mess up with ROM Manager. In fact, there are members also confirm that if booting off uSD, ROM Manager has no effect.
Based on what you, OP, described, you had flashed the CwM into the internal memory.
Keep your fingers crossed as I do hope you didn't screw up anything else.
Anyway, using verygreen's 1.3 image along with the latest nightly-built CM7 and the latest 06132001 gapps and boot it off uSD again. You should be fine.
Before that, fix your home wireless network first.
I decided to just go with 7.1RC1 since I wanted the better battery life. Is there a way to check about the CWM on the internal and how would I go about removing it if I did? I ask for warranty purposes ofcourse since I opted for the 2 year extended one. Also to flash upgrades and such, since you don't recomend using ROM manager then how should I go about doing it (i.e. overclocking kernel)?

1. I never have any issue related to battery with any nightly build that I've ever used. I am currently having the nb153 and it is fantastic.
2. Check CwM and how to remove off the internal memory? I don't know any quick way except restoring the original ROM.
Again, for warranty purposes, strongly suggest running off uSD
3. Updating by loading/copying/dragging the updated files onto the root folder (aka "boot" partition), then TRY loading into Recovery by:
a. combination of power/N buttons if you have skill or
b. let it boot normally into CM7, wait until completely loaded, then reboot and select "recovery" option. Keep yr fingers crossed. This is an easy method but if it doesn't work then option a is the only choice.
Sorry the battery issue was as compared to the current CM7 stable not the nightly. I got everything installed so far besides the overclock kernel. So I will try your recommendation for booting into recovery not using ROM manager.
You don't flash anything when running off an sd card you just boot into recovery and then reboot. Easiest way to get the overclock kernel would be to just upgrade to the latest nightly.

[Q] Has rooting messed up my wifi? :(

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,

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?

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)?

Before flashing, did you do a full wipe?
CWM > Wipe data & factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe your system partition?
I have a Nook Color as well, but I'm running CM7. I read somewhere that your CWM must be version 6.xxx to properly flash CM10 based roms. I believe that is your problem. Btw, CM7 has better performance on this old device.
flashing
i actually never flashed clockwork. all i did was use winimage to partition the card, then just dragged and dropped gapps and cm 10.1.2 20130815 nightly. then it broke after installing a few apps. ive been looking for CWM to wipe everything. from wut i understand CWM wipes it COMPLETELY unlike the 2 stock methods i used before. its like it just wont boot from the sd card anymore. it installs the CM but after its done it just boots up to nook. if you or anyone can tell me where to find CWM it would be much appreciated. i dont understand their site layout and the youtube directions dont have working links for CWM. any ideas? and thx so much for the response. i know from reading now that cm7 was wut i shud have installed instead of the newer extremely unstable cm9 and cm 10.2.
ALSO, im reading about CWM software is related to SD card size? i only have a 32gb sd which is not mentioned in any of the tutorials on how to use CWM. does it rly matter?

Sure thing. Here are the instructions for flashing CWM to your internal flash using a microSD card. You'll need a microSD card reader for this. Look on Amazon for the IOGear MicroSD card reader, I bought it recently for $6 in total.
Read this thread thoroughly, it is simple enough. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12797652
Also, I would suggest you install CM7 MiRaGe rom instead of stock CM7. It performs really well, and I have it overclocked to 1.2GHz stable. Here is the MiRaGe thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873

Nah, it works man. There's just a little bug you need to take care of. Go to the Mirage thread again, on the bottom of the first post, you'll see it says "wifi disconnecting? Read <link>". It's an easy fix. I had it too.
