[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:
[UPDATE ZIP] Stock 1.2 update.zip flashable from CWM

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!

CM7 Help

So here is my situation
I got my NC in February and rooted it before updating to B&N 1.1
I would like to get it running CM7 but also be Dual Boot.
How should i go about this, do i need to Erase deregister and reroot? im sure this has been asked before somewhere in the back pages of this forum, any help or even a link to help would be great. i also don't want to lose my data.
Thanks

If you just want to try something new, use Rom Manager from the Market to backup your system to your sdcard. Then you can install CM7 using Rom Manager and restore what you have now when done. Dual booting is a little harder, what I used to do was make a bootable sdcard. Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb Image for SDcard is a good way to go, here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018

[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.

way behind.. rooted 1.01 -> 1.3 + CM7???

I havent been able to keep up with NC development as much as I'd like, so after reading many directions and many posts I figured it'd be faster to tap the collective wisdom...
Current setup:: first gen nook, 1.01 rooted with autonooter. (no Clockwork)
Desired setup:: updated to 1.3 with root (i like the ability to jump from ereader to tablet) and CM7.1 on an SD card..
I was thinking of just 8 booting it to restore to stock, then upgrading to 1.3 and using manualnooter... Could I flash that update without the restore step?
then using [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957] to get CM7 working..
Is that all correct? I just want a sanity check before i start flashing.

Running CM7 off uSD is a completely separated procedure with no interference with whatever on the internal memory.
You can start it off w/o waiting.

Just in case anyone else is curious. I created a CWM sd, loaded it with both the 1.01 stock flash and 1.2 stock flash.. flashed each. then copied 1.3 over per B&N directions, let that install. then finished up by booting again off the CWM disk and ran MN 4.5.18, 4.6.16
Now im stock rooted and very happy. Thanks to all the developers who created these wonderful tools.

Question about backing up stock NC ROM

I am used to rooting and nandroiding ROMs, at least on my phones: Hero, OG Evo and 3D Evo, but at this point I'm not rooting my NC. I want to back up my stock NC, which presumably has 1.3 on it, as I got it for Christmas. I ran roustabout's script to stop OTA updates. I might want to try the update, eventually. Hence I'd like to back up the stock ROM I have now, and be able to restore it, in case I don't like 1.4.1. Thanks for any help in advance. I did search, but since I'm not rooting, wasn't sure how to do it.
BTW, using Racks' multi-boot from SD card, I can boot into either CM 7.2 (Kang) or ICS. It does what I want, and runs pretty fast from my SD card. And, if I'm at B & N, I can remove my SD card, boot into the stock ROM and still read for free!

Just make a bootable clockwork card and use the backup option and you will get a nandroid of your current set up.
