ok i JUST rooted my hero and want to goto the fresh 1.0 rom, so basically what I did was put the rom on root of sd card as update.zip
wiped phone and applied the update and then I reboot. but it never works so I have to wipe and goto nandroid restore.
I was looking at the requirements and it says
Requirements:
A rooted CDMA HTC Hero by Sprint. RA's recovery loaded on. If you have any questions on that then please visit one of the other various threads on here about how to root your phone.
I have a rooted htc hero and im not sure about RA's recovery loaded. I do have the recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img saved to the root of my sd card but I havent done anything with it exactly, i just put it on there. Is their something im forgetting?
thanks
how long did you wait for Fresh to initialize?? it takes awhile the first time.
oh and before you do anything do a nandroid backup!!!!!
well it went through like a boot sequence, were it checked everything and it all said ok,
then it says
initialize fresh - WAIT
I wait awhile it eventually boots and shows the htc logo like it normally does, then i start getting like force close errors on settings toggle, and it gets to a overclock settings screen asking for allow access or deny.
Im just wondering if theirs something if I need to do with the
recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
file
and dont worry I have had to use nandroid restore MULTIPLE times lol,
also I can get 2.1 to work easily but its jsut a little to slow for me.
ok and instead of wiping my current rom (which is basically stock) the one right after you root. I just applied fresh and it booted up into fresh. and the build rom even says fresh rom 1.0 but now I dont have any service?
and getting alot of FC esp in settings
sounds like you haven't pushed the recovery 1.5 at all.
it's only loaded on your sd card.
that being said, a backup also hasn't been made since recovery is required.
If you already have the recovery file on your sd card, then try this command.
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
power off
hold the home key, press power (still holding home) until the recovery screen comes up. run your backups/restores from there. then you can update from .zip and choose your fresh rom
well when I hold home and power on at the bottom it says I have Ra 1.5.2 or whatever at the bottom loaded. I followed this guide
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
and so im hoping I can just now wipe phone and load fresh
OK, figured it out. got it
was using 1.5.2 for recovery and that one didnt work?
idk why thought it did
went to recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
and now everything worked great .
LOL, it just cracks me up how anybody can even touch their CDMA phones with GSM software. Easy way to brick your phone bro, be careful next time. I'm surprised that recovery actually loaded on your phone.
ZOMG! Becareful, I have only seen 2 of these bricked and 1 was by GSM ROM.
I'm rooted but have never ran anything but stock on my phone. Only having experience with flashing WinMo devices, what exactly do I need to know before flashing a custom ROM?
If I flash, do I lose the data on my phone now (does it do a factory wipe)?
Most times toy will need to do a wipe of the data and cache to get a full rom working correctly.

Yeah, thanks.. Just downloaded ROM manager and Clockworkmod Recovery ($2), kinda following the instructions from Gummys post.
How long does this process take? I installed from SD and did the reboot.. I must of waited a good fifteen minutes before pulling the battery assuming it was stuck. Now it's sitting on the Gummy Screen with the 4 rotating colored android pics.
Got into recovery but it's not allowing me to apply the update.zip (e:can't open/cache/recovery/command)?
Dang it! I was in the middle of posting the following instructions when I got interrupted (at work)
Code:
Flashing will wipe your phone. The nice thing with android is -anything you have purchased or installed from the market will automatically be restored to your phone after you log in using your gmail account.
Let me qualify my statement though - I have flashed a few roms and my free apps were not automatically installed for whatever reason. My purchased apps were not installed either - but they were available for installation at no charge.
Here is another important thing to remember - this will only happen if you chose the correct settings in -uh well- settings. There are some options in there to back up your data to google. If you did that then 95% chance it will all be good.
I recently switched from the DX to the D1 (gave my wife the DX bc I wanted to try some D1 roms) and all my apps were installed and somehow google even migrated my current wallpaper over! I was blown away by that.
Also -make sure your contacts are set up to sync with google. if they are just being added to your phone and not in sync with your google account you are going to loose them all.
Flashing roms:
1. You need to get the droidx bootstrapper app from the market (or I think you can get it for free if you search clockwork mod on google and go to Koush's website. I just bought it to help the developer.).
2. Open the app.
3. Press the "Bootstrap recovery button"
4. You should get a dialog box saying success (or something and then press ok).
5. Press "reboot recovery".
6. Your phone will reboot into clockwork recovery (not the stock phone recovery). It will be a black screen with old school green letters and a menu.
a. In recovery you do not have a touch screen.
b. The volume rocker is up/down.
c. The camera button is "Enter".
d. The physical back button will take you back one menu (also I believe the power button but I always used the power button.
7. The first thing you want to do before you do anything is make a nandroid (backup) of your phone.
8. The opening screen of recovery has the option to create a nandroid. do that.
9. It takes around 5 minutes then choose to reboot your phone when it says, ""complete".
10. To flash a rom put ti...
Wish I would have just posted what I had. Maybe you would have had a nandroid to revert to.
Dang.
Yea. It shouldn't take that long. Sounds like something got hosed. I am getting interrupter again. I will try and get back with some info.
Awesome info, thanks for this. Did a factory wipe and now it's booting up normally (or so it appears into Gummy), will definitely bookmark that info though, thanks again man!
Were you installing Gummy. And did you follow the instructions exactly?
****EDIT****
looks like you got it. glad to hear that.
So I bought a nook color, downloaded BN v1.2 software and went about installing CM7 on my 8GB Sandisk Class 4 microSD. I am using a Macbook to flash on the sd card.
First trial: used verygreen's instructions on this site (many thanks). Installed CM7 successfully (yay), downloaded gapps and tried to do 2 finger recovery boot (as per instructions). Didn't work, so started ROM manager, installed CWR, downloaded gapps thru ROM manager then tried to boot into recovery. This didn't work. I then read a thread which said I had to do a regular restart after installing CWR for the installation to be complete. So ...
Second trial: reinstalled CM7, started ROM manager, installed CWR, powered down, powered up, tried to install gapps thru ROM manager, and internet connection hung up. Didn't want to mess with it, so ...
Third trial: reinstalled CM7, started ROM manager, installed CWR, powered down, powered up, powered down, powered up (just in case), install gapps thru ROM manager, and still couldn't boot into recovery. Then there was a suggestion to place CM7 zip and gapps zip on my sd card at the same time prior to first run of CM& on nook, so ...
Forth trial: flash CM7 and gapps zip on sd card. Put sd card into nook, booted, installed CM7, got 3 more apps in folder, but no marketplace (which is the reason I am going through all this frustration in the first place). Started ROM manager, installed CWR, powered down, powered up, powered down, powered up, install gapps thru ROM manager (again?), and still couldn't boot into recovery.
Note: through all these iterations, I have tried booting into recovery mode
1. via ROM manager
2. via reboot options (as opposed to power off)
3. via holding the nook button and power button in different order/time lengths.
I have been messing with this for over 4 hours last night and a couple of hours today. I know that it should not be this hard, but ...
I had planned on overclocking the machine next, but I can't seem to get beyond this step.
I found the installation guide for installing overclocked CM7 with CWR on eMMC on this site, but with as much trouble as I'm having with sd card installation, I'll end up bricking the "unbrickable" nook.
Prior to all this, I tried the HC instructions, but had trouble with marketplace install then too. I figure this was more stable, most of the bugs were worked out and had more support. Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated.
So, after the last trial, and several power on's later, Marketplace showed up -> I don't need to figure out ROM manager/boot recovery right now. I don't know when it showed up though, as I was not looking for it and wasn't paying attention (O_O).
In case this might help someone else, here is my guess as to what happened. It likely showed up after one of my recovery boot attempts. I held the N button and the power button. I kept holding it after the first startup screen faded, returned, then went away again. It booted into the installation screen I got when I first installed CM7 with the penguin in the upper left hand side (in landscape mode; this is NOT the recovery screen based on the youtube vids and other images I've seen). It was very brief, and only had <20 lines of text, one of which stated something to the effect that CM was installed and it would not need to install it. My guess is that it found the gapps zip file I had put in the boot drive along with CM7 update zip file prior to installing it in the nook, and unpackaged it and installed it then.
Reference points: when I installed CM7 without the gapps, I had 25 apps on my nook. After I co-installed them, I had ~28 (not 100% sure; one of them was talk). When I found marketplace (ie after the funky recovery boot attempt mentioned above), I had 31 apps.

And there's where you started making it very complicated.
If you had read through verygreen's thread, you'd have realized that the "2 finger recovery boot" is timing sensitive. Hold N button down, hold power button, keep holding both buttons while it boots up, start counting to three only when you see "Touch the future..." come up on screen, release the N button on three but keep holding down the power button for another few seconds. And it will go into recovery.
And, you need to have wi-fi set up and enabled to install gapps/market, you can install both CM7/gapps at the same time but market won't show until wi-fi is running and a lot of people get confused. That's the reason why the instructions tell you to install CM7 first, set up your wi-fi, and then only add gapps/market after. You didn't mention setting up wi-fi, I guess somewhere along the line you did enable it and that's when market showed up.
For anyone reading this and contemplating installing CM7/gapps/market onto SD card, make sure you follow the directions in verygreen's post to the letter. It works.
I originally got CM7 and gapps working fine on my SD card in my nook. But today, I wanted to start over with another SD card. Using verygreen's step-by-step instructions again, CM7 loads fine, but for the life of me I can't get the nook to boot into recovery mode to install gapps. I swear I have tried every timing combination I can think of, but still can't get into recovery mode. I might just add gapps to the SD card when adding CM7. Then turn on wifi.
Trouble getting into Recovery Mode
Same problem here... I originally installed CM7 on an 8GB SD card back in late March, adding gapps at the same time. It's been working flawlessly, through many, many nightly updates, until yesterday when it refused to boot into Recovery mode. Now it hangs on the "Future of Reading" screen. I'm going to try wiping the SD card and starting over.
EDIT: OK...Used Easeus Partition Manager to wipe the SD card. Was then able to use verygreen's tools and steps to recreate CM7 bld 68. Then successfully updated to bld 69. Obviously lost all my data, but at least everything seems to be working.
Can't enter recovery mode either
I'm running CyanogenMod-7-05252011-NIGHTLY-encore in kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] # 174, Android version 2.3.4 on a nook color I bought five days ago. I've gotten CM7 to boot.
Following the instructions to install Android Market and Google Apps on Nook Color CM7 at the-ebook-reader.com/nook-color-cm7.html hasn't worked. I can't get into recovery mode, never get the "Touch the Future of Reading" display (don't get this in B&N nook color mode either, just "Read Forever" since I installed software version 1.2.0).
I've put the gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip file 'as is' (NOT unzipped) into the microSD card's root directory.
What happens is this: I hold down the 'n' and the main power button. The screen flashes white very briefly, then the white lettering on green cyanogen appears for less than a second before disappearing. The nook color is powered off then.
Anybody know what's going on, and how I can get into recovery mode to load the google apps pack and android market?
Got gapps to load using ROMmanager to enter recovery mode - no problems now.
Me, too--I hate to say...
I've got CM 7.0.3 running from an SD card, and everything went well until I tried to reboot into recovery mode. I've followed the instructions in the beginning of Verygreen's thread, the ones listed above (which are slightly different), tried from Rom Manager, the power button>reboot>recovery method, as well as various other tutorials and even videos. I'm still unable to get my NC to reboot into recovery mode. I double checked, and the gapps .zip file is in the correct partition, as well. I'm at a loss at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'm sorry for all the bother.
Thank you.
UPDATE: Reformatted my sd card (on a Mac), then tried again using 7.0.3 and the 93 nightly instead of 94, and everything is working fine now. Thanks very much anyway, though!!
I am having the same issues. Brand new nook. Installer VeryGreen's instructions. Booted using sdcard, setting up wireless. Rebooted. Attempted to go into recovery mode using the key press method, using ROMmanager and via the Reboot menu option. In all instances, it just boots up normally. I also re-imaged the card with the latest stable release of CM7 but that did not make any difference.
Thoughts?
And given that I can't install the Marketplace, is there anyway to install apps? Right now I have a vanilla install, while nice, does not give me what I need in terms of functionality.
thx.
Got mine working!
I had the same issue - generic uSD v1.3, CM7 7.0.3 Stable, and couldn't get into recovery no matter what.
With nothing to lose, I started from scratch and put gapps on the uSD boot partition along with CM7, and it worked. The device was sluggish while going through the setup wizard (just decline to connect/establish an account until you exit the wizard and have enabled WiFi), but after a reboot, market is there. There were 29 apps before, and now there are 31. I think market and talk are the new ones.
Now I'm happily busy installing my apps.
Thanks to all the smart guys who make this possible.
I am having a lot of trouble getting recovery mode to actually run
I have followed the instructions and have asked a coworker for help. My 1st attempt was using the 7.0.3 stable build.My nook seems to be running CM7 fine and I was able to install the Amazon app and then download additional apps from there, but was unable to get the nook to rebot in recovery mode. I have tried a number of ways.
1) the time sequence suggested on verygreens thread (not sure I did it right)
2) power up the nook. hold the power buttong until I get a menu. select reboot in recovery mode and the select ok.
3) open the ROM manger and select reboot in recovery mode.
I have tried various repeated attempts with these while holding power,or the n button... etc. nothing happens except it boots like normal. I went into the ROM manager and updated clockwork. I also ran set permissiones in the ROM manager. then tried the various ways of rebooting in recovery mode.
I then read on here that the nightly builds worked better than 7.0.3 for one person so I formatted the SD and reattepted every listed above with the 8-8-2011 (cm_encore_full-154) nightly build. It is still not able to reboot in recovery mode.
I had 1 minor success when I turned the nook off and removed the micro SD it DID go int recovery mode. I reinserted the micor SD and used the menu to install the zip file... but after rebooting nook I still don't see any new apps.
Please someone give me some suggestions.
To all:
The installer image 1.3 from verygreens thread does not work with 7.0.3 or below. Use the 7.1.0 RC or recent nightly. 150 is supposed to be pretty good.

I will post the long version here, mainly because I have nothing better to do.
Here is the situation. I bought a NC about 6 months ago. I rooted it using Auto Nooter. I have no idea what ROM I installed to be honest. I'm very much a novice at this. And I'm quite stupid to boot, I might add. It has worked relatively ok since then. The ROM seemed a bit buggy and I had some initial troubles with constant reboots, in addition to some basic things not working and way bogging the thing down, but in general it was ok. I haven't used it much since unless I was traveling.
Today....I was traveling. Traveling to BFE. As such, I decided to bust out my trusty NC and download a new book while I was waiting for my flight. I did so, and something went a bit haywire. It seems that somehow, without prompting, the device has restored itself to the stock B&N ROM (1.1 maybe?). Yet - the Android OS is still there. For example I can click on my task manager app in the lower left corner of the homescreen and it shows that all of my apps are running and I can even switch to them. But my homescreen is defaulted to the B&N one showing my eBooks and I can't figure out how to get my Android launcher back. I have tried to reboot and it does the Droid boot up but reverts to the same B&N home screen.
I was thinking about trying to update to a new ROM since it had been awhile and I figured there must be something better/more stable out there now - Honeycomb or whatever. I guess this is the kick in the ass that I needed.
So now here I sit in a hotel room in BFE. There are no restaurants open past 9. There are no bars. There IS a Super Wal Mart but I think I'm gonna pass on that.
I figured I would look into this. Where to start? Should I re-set this thing to stock and then just pick a new ROM and re-root? Can I do any of this without having a SD card slot in my laptop - just using a USB cable? Will I lose any eBooks that I downloaded?
I await your sage advice.
rooting actually means gaining super user access to the current android rom. B&N, i believe is Froyo, so you did not install any rom so to speak. you were probably just rooted.
I think the issue is with the launcher and not that it is back to stock. What happens when you long press on the home screen?
If you plan to do anything, you will definitely need an sd card reader.
If you autonootered, then you were running stock, but rooted. With a custom launcher replacing the stock launcher, it sounds like.
At any rate, you were probably hit with the automatic update to B&N 1.2 (which is Android 2.2, iirc.) You almost certainly aren't rooted anymore, but it may allow you to run any apps that you already had downloaded, just from the stock app launcher.
When you get an SD card reader, you can check out Manual Nootering. It's basically the same as the old Auto Nooter, but for B&N 1.2. If you change the rom entirely (install CM7) or just run a different rom from an SD card, you'll avoid having B&N overwrite your root access in the future.
Thanks for the responses. I believe that you are correct. I actually was running 1.0.0. I used auto-nooter to root the thing and had it working with a custom launcher. I don't think it updated to 1.2. In fact I know that it didn't update to 1.2. I am trying to get it to do that right now.
I would like to install a new ROM or root or do something after it updates to 1.2 so that I have access to the Android market. What is my best way to do this? Should I just root again from 1.2? Should I install this CM7?
Can you help me understand the differences? Thanks again.
I could Super Wal Mart tonight for a SD card reader if I'm feeling frisky.
I've got all kinds of problems.
I went to update to 1.2 from 1.0. I removed my SD card and erased and deregistered device. I booted it back up and it thinks it's a phone. I put the 1.2 file in the root drive via USB, as I have read over and over that the thing should recognize the 1.2 file and reboot itself. It's not working. I erased and deregistered again. same deal.
Any advice?
I'd do a full factory reset, then try the update to 1.2 again.
A couple of things about the 1.2 update -- do not unzip the update file or rename it. Just drop it as-is into the nook. And make sure to eject the nook from your computer and unplug it.
Thank you aka. I got it to take. I am now at 1.2. Now back to square 1(.2). Any help on this?

ETA: lol, congratulations! I guess just skip to that link at the end.
I'd agree with akaCat that you should do a factory reset, BUT you can only do that if you still have the stock recovery utility, and it seems possible that you do not. Try to get the NC to reset by interrupting the boot 8 times. If it doesn't work, you may have installed ClockworkMod Recovery on your Nook Color in place of the stock recovery utility. You may have done so while rooting, or later from the ROM Manager app, perhaps even by accident.
Have you attempted to boot to recovery by holding down "n" while you power on the device, and continuing to hold power + n for about six seconds (1-one-thousand, 2-one-thousand, etc), then releasing both? If so, do you get a factory reset dialog (series of yes/no options) or a longer menu including items like "mounting and storage" and "flash zip from sd card?" If you get the longer menu, then that's ClockworkMod Recovery, and neither the 8-failed-boots-reset nor the automatic update are going to work.
If you do have ClockworkMod Recovery, don't do anything yet. Hopefully somewhere on the screen it tells you the version number, in the format 3.0.x.x. Just let us know that version number and power off the NC.
If you still have the stock recovery utility, then do the factory reset, boot into the stock OS, connect USB, drop the update file straight on the Nook (not in any folders), safely remove the NC from your PC, and let it sit. Hopefully it will reboot itself.
If not, the next step is probably going to involve preparing a bootable ClockworkMod SD and manually installing a CWM-compatible version of the update, or of a different ROM. This article may help you wrap your head around the different options: http://quinxy.com/guides/how-to-pick-your-nook-color-operating-system-and-install-options/
ETA: lol, congratulations! I guess just skip to that link at the end.
Thank you, Tao. I seem to be a bit stuck, though.
I'm at 1.2 stock. I was able to reformat and erase my sd card. I went to load the .gz image onto the card (for CM7, per instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957) and I also loaded the nightly build. Then inserted card into NC and booted. Nothing.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Should I unzip either file?
One thing that might/might not matter....when I went to eject the SD card from my PC, I wasn't given that option so I just pulled it.
One more thing.....the instructions at the link above instruct you to "write the image to your SD card" but then go on to say "eject the SD card" and then further "insert the uSD card into your computer"
Huh?? Isn't it all on the same card? Why do I need two different cards? What am I missing?
This blog breaks down the same process a little more step-by-step, with videos: http://www.anamardoll.com/2011/04/ereader-running-cm7-firmware-on-nook.html
You can skip the long preamble down to "Ready? Let's get started."
You do need to unzip the disk image, and write it to the SD using a program like Win32DiskImager or WinImage. It's also definitely a good idea to safely eject the SD card from your PC.
Hi Tao and others. Thanks again for all of your help. I'm almost there!
I followed this Ana chick's directions and I have CM7 booting up. I am now at the stage where I am trying to boot up in recovery mode so I can get the google apps and wifi thing going. I can't get it to work! I am holding down the "n"/home button and then the power button and it keeps booting up with CM7. I've tried it probably 20 times. Any help? Thanks!
Can someone also tell me how to access the book I just purchased and was in the middle of reading? Do I have to go somewhere and re-download?

I should add that though I can get CM7 to boot, I never get "The Power of Reading". It's just kind of a flash.
That's all normal--verygreen had to make a new uboot, which no longer shows "The Power of Reading" and also flies through a recovery boot so fast you could miss it. If gapps didn't install, just make sure the .zip is still in the boot partition and keep trying. I'm pretty sure holding power > reboot > recovery boot works now from within CM7, but I would go into Settings>Accounts and try to sign in to Google before assuming it didn't install.
If the book was a B&N purchase, once you have the market working, just install the Nook app and sign into your account, and you should be able to re-d/l the book, possibly even still synced to where you left off.
Thank you so much Tao and others. Up and running with CM7. Any additional mods I should be messing with?
btw, you can also boot into recovery through rom manager, its easier.

Easier than holding power a sec, poking "Reboot," then "Reboot to Recovery?"
Really, it's about the same either way, depending how handy ROM manager is on your system.
So I flashed the latest nightly of CM10 onto my TF101. It was working well, nice and smooth... except I couldn't seem to install the Play store. I tried several different APK's including the latest one, and none of them seemed to work. The app would simply crash as soon as it started to load. So then I tried to flash in the Google Apps apk from this page. It seems to have replaced the entire CM10 build with that package, and since I'm such a genus with the greatest of ideas I had already deleted the CM10 zip file that was on my sdcard (because why would I EVER run into problems with flashing nightlies when I have so little experience doing so?)
So now my tablet is stuck in Clockwork MOD purgatory. It won't reboot into anything but CWM recovery, and I can't access the sdcard from my adb shell. Trying to push that CM10 zip file just results in a "protocol error."
Please help. I did want to replace this tablet with something newer, but I didn't want to do it this soon, nor did I want to lose the ability to sell this one or give it to a family member in need of a computing device.
Restore it to stock with Easy Flasher then start over. There's other ways to recover too, if you search the forums/google for "(tf101) recovery loop".

I started to try that, but for some reason I couldn't get into apx mode. It would just default into the CWM recovery when you press volume up. However, if you press nothing it seems to start a "cold boot" process which brought up CM10. The play store problem seems to be fixed though. The only problem is that if I don't hold the volume down button when I boot or reboot and let it "cold" boot, it goes right back into CWM recovery. I'm not sure if this will cause problems, but for now I can deal with it. I'll bring it back to stock and start all over with it if I start seeing any problems.
So thanks! Your advice helped, just not in the way you intended
