My problem is at one time or another I must have accidently installed clockwork recovery on the emmc of my nook. I can boot into the nook's software just fine, but when I tried to apply the update it boots into clockwork mod and gives an error and won't install the update.
I normally always use cm7 off the sd card, but I want to have the new update on the nook when I want to boot to it.
My question is how do I get clockwork recovery off the emmc so I can install the update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dude, I'm in the same boat. I didn't think I had CWM on there, but alas, I do...
The problem is that when it tries to execute the install an error comes up saying that the ROM is unsigned. Weird cause it came from the Nook website...
This might help
I had the same problem. This thread solved it for me. I used the file to remove CWM.

Hello folks,
First time poster here, first time I haven't been able to find a fix already posted...
Anyway, I wanted to try out the new Cyanogen mod after not having tried any new ROMs in a long time. Got 5.0.7 installed and running no problem. Then I noticed on the Cyanogen Mod site that there was also a Cyanogen recovery image. "Might as well have everything from the same source," I thought. I got the file, put it on the SD card, and used the terminal on the phone to execute "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img," then tried rebooting into recovery mode. No good. Just get hung up at the "myTouch 3g" screen. At this point, I thought I was well and screwed, but fortunately I'm still able to boot normally.
Tried reflashing the same image, then other recovery partition images. No dice. Where do I go from here? I'm used to fixing stuff I've screwed up through the recovery partition, not the other way around!
I appreciate any help or advice!
Sincerely,
Tom
hey tom,
this will fix you up:
install "rom manager" from the market
flash his recovery image (theres in option for that)
then look for the option that lets you flash Amon Ra 1.7.0
let it load, power off & then check.
trust me this is bound to fix your problem.
I've been having a lot of problems getting my tmobile vibrant into cwm recovery,
i flashed recovery through cwm and selected boot into recovery. when i get into recovery and select reinstall packages, I get mixed messages.
i tried flashing cwm with the initial update.zip it puts on the sd, little bar shows up at the bottom and gets about 1/3 of the way, and says
E:/failed to verify whole file signature.
installation aborted.
Went into clockworkmod folder on my computer retrieved the recovery-update.zip, renamed it update.zip. I tried putting both of these files on the sd card root, /external_sd, phone internal memory and the sd folder on the phone. nothing works
Am i doing this wrong?
Have you tried the fix permissions option in CWM? I have had strange errors like that before and that helped.
can you be more specific please?
it says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands.
search for 3e modified recovery in the dev section
reply
that might help me if i knew what it meant. im just learning about this stuff but it seems to be getting more and more complicated all the time
I guess this post is dead.
Thanks for the help guys.):
Go into SuperUser and see if it runs. It sounds like you lost root. If that is the case you may need to re-root it.
What do you mean you flashed recovery through cwm? If you can already use cwm you shouldn't have a problem.
Have you tried downloading ROM manager from the market? You will need to have your phone rooted to install cwm through ROM manager.
U r probably on the 3e recovery and have to get back the 2e recovery don't odin back to 2.1

Run a search before posting and you will most likely find the answer! :]
It works for KA7 too.
You probably just need the steps of putting it into shell root > script from 3e recovery to 2e recovery, then you're good to go.
I just odined a new kernel and after that, my phone went into cwm recovery and i flashed nero v.3. everything works great.
I had my Nook go into SOD today and hard powered it down and rebooted. I got stuck in a boot loop so attempted to boot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik-cache.
After doing this and attempting to reboot, I'm getting the boot menu that is always sending me back into Clockwork Recovery. Even after powering up with Power + n and selecting to boot from emmc and standard boot, it's still sending me into Clockwork Recovery.
I'm completely lost on why this is happening to me. I'd updated to the latest Clockwork Recovery through ROM manager a few days ago and haven't had any issues up to this point aside the random SOD.
Anyone have any tips/tricks that might help me out?
there is a zip file floating around here in one of these posts that you can flash from sd card that will basically "break" CWM.
it'll then allow the nook to boot up normally. You can then reinstall CWM. let me see if I can find it.
***edit***
found it.

read the discussion on that link, the zip is in the 3rd or 4th post.
This happened to me when I first got my nook for other reasons (installed wrong version of CWM basically) and running the zip got me out of the boot loop.

Do you remember what version of the stock OS you had before you installed CM7? What happened, was that file that you downloaded is specific to a version of the stock OS.
Make yourself a bootable CWM card by following the directions HERE
Then download the attached file that goes with your stock OS version, and put it into the root of the CWM card.
Boot the device with that card, and flash the file. Remove the SD card when done, and reboot. You should now be back into your CM7. At this point to can flash CWM back onto the NC, or leave it off.

Not really, the version 1.1.0 update came out at the end of January, and the guide that you linked to was made in February, so I would say that there is good chance that you were not on version 1.1.0. I would start with the 1.2.0 package, and work my way down.
No luck
Got meself a monster root pack - http://code.google.com/p/monster-rootpack/downloads/list
1.2.0 and 1.1.0 gave me install failed after rebooting
1.0.1 its still stuck at "Touch the future of reading"
Dont I want to flash a good copy of CWM back so that it can boot cm7?

The NC does NOT need CWM installed on the device to install or run CM7. A lot of people don't install it because of problems like this. I just did a restore of my CM7 image, and took the same steps as you. When it reboots and says install failed, I just shut it down and restarted right back into CM7.
The problem with the package that you had started with was the fact that besides the recovery files it installed a version of u-boot.bin that does not seem to be compatible with your device. The packages that I put up include each version specific u-boot.bin and recovery files.
I would flash the 1.2.0 file again, this time when it restarts and says install failed, just reboot the device, and it should go into CM7. At the very least, at this point you could do a full factory restore.
Update
before seeing your last message I built cwm 3.2.0.1 card using http://www.techerrata.com/dl.php?path=15&file=1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.zip
downloaded cm7 latest nightly
flashed it
applied titanium backup
was up in about an hour
BTW I do like CWM recovery, I can take nandroid backups time to time
Thanks for helping
Hello Nook Simple touch community! I recently pulled out my old pal the other day, and am having a lot of issues trying to get it to work! I would like to remove the root on the device and restore to stock firmware, and am using clockworkmod rc2 128mb on an SD Card with Alpha format 2 .zip
Whenever I try to flash the ZIP I get a "Installation Aborted error" I tried removing the get assest build prop line from the install script file, but still received the said error! I can't restore the device no matter what I try, and don't know what to do
Please help! I really want to fix this device so I can use it without buying another device.
The stock recovery has been overwritten by CWM if that's a problem then I dont know what to do
EDIT: I FIXED IT **MAKE SURE** that you disable Auto Unzip on macOS! That allows the restore to go through PERFECTLY!
Um...this is not a Q&A thread...
