Hi guys,
I've tried using unrevoked 3.3 on my wildfire, with android 2.1, didn't work - so I tried 3.2 and I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 on there, I can boot into that now,
But still not knowing how to root it,
Can someone give me some advice from here, I get the "Internal error" message and can't go any further, but I assume you can manually do it, since I've got the clockworkmod recovery on there,
Toby =)

if you have clockworkmod recovery then that means you rooted it, just put a custom rom onto your sd card, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card. do a nandroid backup of your rom first.
When I try using Titanium Backup, I get a failed message...

Okay, I installed busy box and it says it rooted, does the clockworkmod matter what version you have?

Nope, you should be fine.
Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes, is Wildpuzzle rom trustworthy? It's been around for awhile right? =)
Yeah wildpuzzle is good, I used to use it.
I had abit of a freak out, I wiped my phone then couldn't load any custom rom =( But now its loading, hoping it works...
I don't know if the rom is loading or not, the screen with the android symbol coming out of the box showed up now and white backgroud with the "HTC quietly brilliant" animation seems to be sitting there forever,
I installed the SUnAaBh v1.1** rom from sc card,
Does this seem right?
First boot takes 10 to 15 min.
You should have done a nandroid backup of your stock rom first, oh well.
If it doesn't boot, do a full wipe, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery and flash again.
After like 2 or 3 minutes, the screen goes black then the HTC logo screen comes back on and loads again, makes me think its in a loop and no installed right =\
Do a full wipe and try flash again. If it doesn't work, try a different rom.
Yeah, I did a back up with nandroid then moved the files to my computer incase, they was in a folder called orangeworkmod folder?,
Wipe cache?

Yes, you should wipe data and cache before installing a new rom. They are all there in recovery.
Okay, yeah - its all good, was just taking time, does wildpuzzle rom have overclocking feature, or is that a application?
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!

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.

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.

cm tried flashing another but got stuck on this screen tried the factory reset but gives me an error and it wont boot into sdcard
i do get the touch something screen
I've got stuck in this "Android" screen when I tried to update my existing CM7. This is what I've done.
1. Boot to recovery.
2. Wipe cache
3. Install the update from SD and choose the CM7 file and google apps
4. Wipe data/factory
5. Format or insert a new sd before re-booting.
I encounter the same error on the first reboot. Booting up the second time solved it. It does hang at the CM logo for bout 5 min on the second boot.

You shouldn't be getting a touch anything screen depending on what CM7 file you are using. Go here and start the process all over. Make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1): http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/

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?
The filename of the one I'm using at the moment is: "1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.img"

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)?
Hello,
I was running one of the CM9 nightlies and decided to try one of eyeballer's with OpenGL, and was able to make the switch without any problems, but after a while wanted to go to a non-openGL build and after flashing it my Nook won't boot past the loading screen.
I have a 1GB card with CMW which I'm able to boot to, I've tried wiping data, format boot and format system and reinstalling one of the builds that had previously worked, but still get stuck on Cyanoboot's loading screen. Even tried going back down to CM7 to see if that helped, but stuck on that loading screen as well.
What am I missing here? I've formatted boot, system, cache, data, everything, but the issue persists.
Any suggestions as to how I can make my Nook come back to live.

Well, for one thing, never format boot.
After trying cm7, you still get cyanoboot? It should have changed to the green cyanogenmod logo. If not then your flashes are not working.

After flashing CM7 I get the green boot screen, but my Nook also gets stuck on that loading screen.
When flashing CM9 I can press the ''N'' button and scroll the available boot methods, but when I choose one I get stuck on loading again.
So on both CMs I'm getting stucked on ''loading'', which started to happen on Monday after going from one of the openGL builds to the latest non-openGL build.

Ok, that means that CWM is putting the boot files on the boot partition since they change CM7 vs CM9.
Which version is your CWM on the SD?
You can't boot to anything, not even emmc recovery? Or you just can't boot to 'normal'? Do you even have emmc recovery installed? If you don't, get the first file on this post and flash it with your CWM card. You may be in a recovery bootloop, without a recovery.

Thank you leapinlar, seems like it was me having an old CWM on my boot card that wasn't helping me, installed the recovery zip and manage to boot into that from cyanoboot's loading screen and reflashed and managed to boot my Nook.
I'm still intrigue as to how this happened, do you think that when switching between openGL and non-openGL the boot partition got corrupted or something? I've been flashing many roms for almost a year and had never had this issue happen to me before.
Thanks a million for taking time to help me, you're a life saver.

It's possible your recovery somehow got corrupted during the flash. If that happens, it does not clear the recovery boot flag and it keeps trying to boot to recovery and it can't because it is corrupted. And it just bootloops forever.
Also, make sure your CWM bootable card is a recent version. If you have a newer nook and an old CWM and you try to clear data, it fails and you have a mess.
Hi, I am totally new at this but I been having a nook color for over a year now and been running CM7 on it for the longest time. Tonight I wanted to put CM9 on and for whatever I did now I just can't seem to get pass the Cyanoboot screen. Doesnt matter what I do it just gives me a blank screen and stays there. What do I gotta do to fix it or get rid of this cyanoboot and back to CWM so i can re flash everything. Any help would be great. Thanks

Try flashing latest CM7 then CM9 over the top. Might want to format Data and wipe caches in between.

I cant flash anything right now. I cant go into CWM and it just stuck at the cyanoboot screen and whatever choice i pick from that screen will give me a blank screen.

Try using my bootable CWM card in my tips thread in my signature. It works fine under ordinary circumstances, but I have been wanting someone to try it to see if it gets you out of that bootloop.
Edit: Just a question out of curiosity. When you finished flashing that new ROM with your CWM, were you able to reboot from CWM normally using the menu choice? Or was there some lockup or something where you had to reboot from CWM by hard powering off?

I believe i had to powering off. I'm sorry but I didnt quite understand what you told me to do with the bootable CWM. I am fairly new to all this flashing ROMS crap. If u can explain it a lil bit better that would be greatly appreciated.

Just follow the directions in the thread to make the card. Then put it in the nook and try booting. If it boots to CWM, just use it to flash like DizzyDen said. And when you exit, use the menu to choose re-boot.
PS, the hard powering off caused the problem. CWM was not able to clear the recovery flag and you ended up in a recovery bootloop. Let me know if my card boots.

Thank YOU for testing my card and proving that gets you out of the recovery bootloop you were in.
You need to take one more step. You need to put a new CWM back on your internal memory so it is there ready for the next time you want to install a ROM. If you go back to my tips thread, there is a link to a new flashable CWM zip (version 5.5.0.4) that can be put on your internal memory. The link is in item B1. Just download that zip file, then boot one more time to my bootable CWM card and install that zip. You should not need my card anymore after that unless you get in a bootloop again.
I've had something similar going on. I believe my nook has been using the EMMC to boot. It was on CM7. I grabbed the latest open GL CM9 because I plan on giving this to my parents. I wanted them to be able to use the TWC TV/DVR app which only works on ICS. I am stuck in a loop where it keeps going to recovery and neither flashing cm9 again nor recovering to an old back up is working. Is the recovery SD card the suggested method for fixing this? I'm not stuck in a loop but I am stuck and having to go into recovery every boot.
For awhile, the N menu gave me both EMMC and SD card boot options. Now it only has EMMC ones.

You could try the new CWM SD. Just make sure when you finish using CWM to exit from that by using the 'reboot' choice in the menu. Do not just hard power off.

So slap the image on a clean SD card and boot up from it. After it's done and I hit reboot, what would I do to get back to CM7 or CM9? I haven't had to do something like this yet. Any time I've had issues, I've been lucky enough to go back to a saved clockwork backup and restore things back to how they should be

First thing I would try is just to exit the new CWM via the menu to see if it gets you out of the bootloop. Retry booting without the SD in. If it will still only boot to recovery, I would again boot to my CWM and flash the new recovery to emmc. Next I would try to restore your old nandroid backup with the new CWM. If none of that works, flash a new CM to emmc with the new CWM.
