So I rooted my cousin's color nook using uNooter. I flashed CWR and tried to install CM7 using Rom Manager's "install from sd". I left the backup option checked, the delete factory option unchecked, and delete general option checked. Eventually, it booted to the "N" screen and stayed there. I turned it off and booted to CWR, but now the volume buttons do not work so I cannot navigate the screen. I've been googling this for the last three hours. Any suggestions???
There is a thread in the Android Development section here by eyeballer about Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP.

This is similar to CWM, but you use touch screen buttons instead of hardware buttons.
Hope this helps

Can't seem to get CWM installed through "ROM Manager", no matter how hard you damn well try? While trying to flash my Legend, I came across something which may help you guys out as it did me.
NOTE: You must have root to to do this.
This is a NON-PERMANENT solution. Using this method will NOT permanently replace your stock recovery with CWMs.
Download the file attached to this post.
Rename the file to "update.zip"
Place it on the root of your sdcard and then turn off your Legend.
Hold the volume buttons and the power button. You will boot into HBOOT.
After HBOOT scans for the LEGEIMG stuff, navigate to the "RECOVERY" option with the volume down button, and hit the power button to select it. Afterwards, you'll hit the dreaded "RED EXCLAMATION MARK OMG OMG WHAT DO" screen.
Hold the volume buttons and the power button again, and ignore the error which appears.
After the blue menu appears, navigate to "Apply update.zip" and select it.
Magic just happened. SUDDENLY YOU'RE IN CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY.
From here you can flash ROMS, wipe your cache, etc etc etc.
Hope this helps anyone having trouble flashing CWM.
P.S. This may well work for other models having trouble flashing CWM.
Nice guide, but There is allready a guide for this in dev. Fake-Flash

And you do need to be rooted
I recently found my old mytouch and turn it on and I do not remember my old unlock pattern. So I go into recovery which is the stock recovery to do a data/factory wipe and notice that my trackball will scroll to the option but it will not let me select it. I tried everything including pulling the battery and still no luck. Is there a solution to my problem please help!
I have the same problem. Can anyone think of a possible solution?? Please help!
You can't just hold the home button while the phone is booting to get into recovery?

Home + End. But once in recovery, I can scroll through the options but it will not let me select any of the options. The selection function of the trackball works flawlessly when the phone is booted up, but will not work in recovery.

Don't use the power button to select. Use the trackpad

Well first off, you should ALWAYS make nandroid (ROM manager) backups before flashing any ROM, addon, patch, etc.
That aside, you have a few things to do here. If you didn't make a nandroid backup you should download a ROM.zip file from the Dev section (your choice), and put it on your SDcard. Enter the boot loader (from off) by holding vol. down+power, then selecting 'recovery'. Once in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, and then go to 'install zip from SDcard' and select the ROM.zip. Then flash any associated .zip's or anything that the ROM maker suggest. Reboot, and you're good to go in a working ROM. You can now go from there.
Remember, when in recovery you need to use the TRACKPAD and BACK BUTTON to navigate the CWM recovery screen. Using the power button / camera button / menu button will just show/hide the menu or turn the screen off. You can scroll and select with the trackpad, and go back with the 'back' button. Only use these 2. Nothing is wrong with your phone, you're just using the wrong damn buttons.
Your phone is so far from bricked its not even funny. Just follow some basic knowledge on how the recovery and ROM manager works and you'll be back to 100%.
thanks alot guys. i was really high so i started getting paranoid about my phone lol BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH
Power Button just shows the wallpaper, trackpad is where you select for our phone
hi, i have trouble booting into recovery. what i do is press "n" and power and it always goes to "Boot Menu" ... can someone tell me what that is and what it does ? ( i know i can boot into it by pressing power and selecting reboot and recovery just trying to find out how to from power-off) thanks.
I'm not the most knowledgeable one to answer this. I was waiting to see if someone else would post here.
But here goes. When I want boot into recovery when my nook is off, I power on holding down the n key. When the boot screen appears, I use the n key to toggle different options on the first line. I opt to boot from emmc. Then use the volume keys to move down to the next line and use the n key again to choose boot into recovery.
I don't remember the exact order of the lines, so I may be a little off, but I hope this helps get you booted into recovery from the boot screen

Thanks for trying to help. i was experiencing boot-loop i think.. ( i wasn't even able to turn my NC off at all. it just kept booting up and being stuck on the Cyanogenmod loading screen every time when i turn it off by holding down power), thats why i needed to boot into recovery from power-off. how it happened was i upgraded to cm9. i wiped cache and dalvik and formatted boot, system and data before flashing. ( i know some instruction here tells to do a wipe data/factory reset. i didnt do that ) I fix it and went back to cm7 by putting in a bootable sd with CWR in the two seconds that it stays off... but the strange thing was that once again i did it my way (wipe cache/dalvik and format boot, system, data) and this time it worked~ no boot-loop. now i wonder what really caused boot-loop the first time even when i had the bootable sd card in it didn't even boot into recovery itself i had to push "n" like crazy ... to get in ...

also if you have cwr on a bootable sd card you can use rom manager to flash cwr internally, so you wont need a bootable sd card, if you want to get into cwr just use rom manager and select reboot into recovery, i use to have cwr on my sd and didnt like it because you would have to take out the sd card everytime you boot, but this way is much easier, you can back up in rom manger instead of doing it the manual way...holding n and power button, hope this helps
Ive used this hundreds of times and never had a problem, but now, I recently rooted and when I boot into recovery, the whole menu shows up but when i lick an option, its send me into a black screen rather then showing sub menus, I can get back to the regular menu by hitting the power button but none of the menus will take me into subs, meaning, I cant get into my install zip folder or anything like that. Anyone had this problem? Thanks for the help and time!
Edit: yes I have bootstrapped and all that and I am on .621. The only difference this time is the program I used to root, which is framaroot 1.6.0 apk that I loaded to my phone.
you are selecting with the camera button?
Sent from my XT862 using Tapatalk 2
Like shadow said, try using the camera button. The power button toggles the screen to/from a blacked out state.
You can just push the power button again to un-black the screen.
I had the same problem myself.. when in doubt, experiment. CWM is pretty good about not letting you accidentally wipe your data.
