thanks rack11749 the cm7 install was great .
didnt use a nightly as I couldnt see one for the nook on the list .
I grabbed what I thought was the gapps . ie gapps-gb-20110307 and installed it on microsd , however it doesnt come up on the color nook on recovery boot ???
A link to the gapps would be greatly appreciated to confirm I have downloaded the correct one please

fixed
I formatted the sd card . Reburnt the image and copied and pasted the cm7 and gapps, rebooted the nook color and I have the android market very happy

I've had *REAL* good luck with the 107 nightly. The 7.03 stable was a bit weird for me in "reboot to recovery", and the 106 nightly didn't have root/super-user in the SD install - just FYIs.
I used verygreen's size-agnostic installer, made easily understandable via Quinxy's guide:

[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.

Flash CWM Recovery using ADB to bootlooped NC running stock 1.4.3

I've got a NC running stock 1.4.3 that's stuck in a boot loop. I've tried everything to either (1) root it to CM7.2 or (2) restore stock Nook os, including trying to fix the partitions as suggested by leapinlar. I think the problem is that there is no eMMC recovery, so when I try to reboot to recovery to fix the partitions, I get bounced back into the bootloop. I tried installing CWM recovery to eMMC using a bootable microSD with CM7 and RomMgr premium, as well as using CWM with some of the eMMC recovery .zip files found in other posts, and it looks like it gets flashed, but when I then try to boot into recovery I get an error "Install Failed (with an icon of the NC and !). I was thinking of trying to flash recovery to eMMC using adb. When I boot with the CM7 microSD, I'm able to access adb from my desktop. Can't seem to find the right files or instructions on how to flash CWM recovery to eMMC using adb. Any suggestions?

You need to get my bootable CWM card from my tips thread linked in my signature. Then you can flash a new 1.4.3 that I have also in my tips thread. I also have flashable CWM zips there to put CWM on emmc. And if that does not fix it run my partition repair zips using my CWM. ROM Manager does not always install the CWM to emmc properly.

You ever get it working? This is my underlying issue EXACTLY except I have working ADB when booted from SD card.

How to switch from TWRP to CWM

I'm currently trying out TWRP 2.4.1.0 from the development section running internally. Should I decide to return to CWM, what is the best method for doing so?

Download the IMG file, put it in your platform-tools folder and put tab in bootloader. Check for connection by typing 'adb devices', then fastboot flash recovery *name of recovery*
From my Evo LTE, yup.

I'd hate to hear the hard way :silly:

Does that mean there isn't a flashable zip that can be loaded via a bootable CWM SD card?

There is one in my Nook Color Tips thread. Just flash it with anything, even your existing TWRP, and it will put CWM back on internal.
Edit: if you have a newer TWRP, it may refuse to flash my zip because the new TWRP does not like one of the components on my old zips. It gives an error 02. Just use my bootable CWM to do it.

[Q] CWM can't mount sdcard

Running CM7.2 on NC. Had several backups made thru CWM 3.0.2.1 (I think) and made mistake of flashing CWM update thru ROM manager. CWM 6.0.3.1 can't mount sdcard now. In CM I can mount and unmount sdcard and access contents, nothing in CWM. I'm a noob and have no idea where to start.

I would get rid of that 6.0.3.1. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature. There are instructions there to make a 5.5.0.4 bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash the 5.5.0.4 zip (the one that says emmc racks) that I also have there to put it on emmc replacing that 6.0.3.1.

Thanks for the quick response. I did pretty much the same thing. I saved all the downloaded files from rooting and roming it and used those to flash back to cwm 3.2.0.1. Like I said, I'm new so I panicked at first.
Thanks again.

Yes so I accidentially overwrote my CWM original on the Nook color that worked fine with 6.0.3.1. It would not mount my SDCARD. So I used your A10 method and created a SD bootable recovery. I then flashed the 5.5.0.4 recovery to the EMMC.
So I did that but when I went to do a factory wipe, I got an error:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure
then I tried to flash from my SD card but I could not see it. What is wrong with my 5.5.0.4? Shouldn't it see my SDCARD. My SDCARD is fine in my computer reader.
Any help appreciated!!!

Okay. It was a bad SD Card format. All fixed now.
