[Q] I did something wrong while trying to root my nook color.

I think did something wrong. I followed this tutorial:
hmm I can't post the youtube link. If you go to google and type in How to Install CyanogenMod 7 on the Nook Color and click on the first link you'll find it.
When I got to the part where it says to format the data, I got an error message. Then when it said to install zip from sd card, I got an error saying can't mount sd card. So I went back to wipe data/factory reset and did that. After that I took the sd card out and did reboot system now. But now it won't go beyond the screen with the N on it. What do I do now? At this point I just want to put it back to it's original state. Please help. I'm afraid I broke it. And I'm sorry if I sound like a noob.

I tried installing the latest version of CM7 nightly. By using a different method and memory card. I followed the guide here:
[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards.
I installed the image file on the memory card. Took it out then put it back in like it said to. But now my computer can't find the memory card. In other words the card won't show up on my computer anymore. What happened? I'm so disgusted right now

Deep breath. OK? Happens to us all.
I'd suggest you start from the beginning. Format your uSD using this in your computer and not your NC. Often errors start with a bad format.
I'm using CM7 7.0 as it seems the most stable for me. It's often best to used signed versions as those are reported to be the most stable. Get it here
Create a good bootable disk with that has CWM ( http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-...workmod-version-3-2-0-1-recovery-sd-card.html), WinImage is fluky so I'd suggest this copy your CM7 ROM to it (on your computer), boot doing either a factory reset or wipe cache and dalvik. You can wipe data is you want but will have to reinstall all your programs if you do.
Keep in mind that often the first boot up after ROM install might take a few minutes. You might have to even hard reboot. It happens.
Again, most problems start with a wonky formatted uSD and just multiply from there.

Thank you very much! I got it working. Now I just need to know a few more things. Where can I download the latest google apps pack and overclock kernal for my nook? And can I still access the barnes & noble bookstore? If so how?

Hey I noticed a problem. The flash player isn't working for,
the web browser anymore. Meaning YouTube and. Megavideo won't play. It was working fine before I rooted it. Is there anyway to restore it?

I went to the market and found adobe flash player 10.3. But there's no download button for it??

Okay I just downloaded the latest version of the android market. And now when I try to download adobe flash player 10.3, I get a message that says your device is not compatible with this item. So now what?

If you have CyanogenMod 7 take a look at their Site maybe someone else had the same problem and knows what to do.
They have a very good forum and i'm sure you will find a fix there.

Well when I go to YouTube and tap on a video, first it says loading video then I get a message saying Cannot play video sorry this video cannot be played. It's the same thing when I use the YouTube app. I have the latest version of adobe flash player installed because megavideo works.

Alright I tried uninstalling the YouTube apk and reinstalling it again. That didn't work. I tried doing the wipe data thing with titanium backup. That didn't work. I tried downloading the EVO HD YouTube app. That didn't even start up. I made sure that I was not signed in to YouTube. That didn't work. I'm about ready to give up.

Well guys I finally did it. I got YouTube working. I had to completely uninstall everything and install the latest cm encore nightly release. Everything seems to be working now.

Problem. N64oid doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before I did the new install. Now whenever I try to load a rom it freezes and I have to hard reset my nook color. Anyway to fix this?

[Q] Error flashing CM 7.1 on NC

I downloaded CM 7.1 stable for my Nook color, and when I go to install I get an assert error with a "status 7".
I've done a lot of flashing of ROMs on my DX, but I'm wondering if there's a step I'm missing. I've pretty much just done the usual routine for flashing a new ROM:
- nandroid backup
- wipe cache,system,data,dalvik cache
- flash ROM zip file
No luck for any ROM I've tried. Anyone know what I need to do to get this to work?

Go over the steps in my sig. If that's no help check out the links in it particularly eyeballer's and mrg666's.

Thanks, I'll try it out. Why don't the official CM7 and MIUI builds work?
Are there other Mirage Kangs I can try out? Any good ICS ones?
Thanks again,
Mike

Also, I'm assuming if I have CWMR already installed I don't need the boot SD, correct?

Same problem. I get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "encore" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "encore"
E: Error in /sdcard/download/encore_CM72_MiRaGe-06082012.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Does this mean I have to do the SDcard boot?

In theory you could put any ROM in place of M-K you wanted but if you are wanting ICS I would install using one of those instruction threads. All I was suggesting was that you go over the basic steps I outline to make sure you weren't missing anything.
And yes, it sounds like something got corrupted and you need to start from scratch. I would at this point. I always look at it as time to flush the old and try out some new.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A

So, I tried unrooting and doing a stock recovery, then using a boot-sdcard to flash any number of ROMs. I still get the same error.
At this point it seems something is fundamentally wrong. I tried several options on the flashing, nothing seems to get around this error.
Is there anything else I can do here?

When you say you were able to do a stock recovery, what did you mean by that? Were you able to flash a stock ROM to emmc with recovery? Or did you do an 8 failed boot reset?
Also, what version of CWM are you using?
The problem you are having is the install zip cannot verify that it is flashing to the correct device. If it can't find that 'encore' in your properties it will abort. I'm not sure where that property is stored on your emmc, but the zip is not finding it.

I did a factory reset from the nook settings. Is that not sufficient?
I'm using CWM 5.x (don't have it handy to check, I can get the exact version if needed).

No, you'll need to either flash the original version of your firmware or do an 8+1 reset.

Keep listening to leapinlar. Nothings broke beyond repair and he's teaching more than you in this thread.

Emmc means embedded multimedia card. It is basically an SD card built into the Nook. It is where all of your internal information is stored. It is partitioned into 8 partitions to hold various kinds of information, like the system files for your ROM, and data that is specific to your installation (application settings, your login info, etc.).
When you did the factory reset it cleared the data info, but not the system info. That is good if you want your stuff off, but it does nothing to the system files (including the root files). So someone else could put their info in and yours will be gone.
Somewhere on one of those 8 partitions is info stored that tells the zip you are an encore. (It's 1, 2 or 3, I just don't know which). The zip is not finding it. That could be because one of those partitions is corrupt. Or the data could just be missing.
If you truly did a factory restore, like flashing a factory zip to emmc, then the info might come back.

OK, thanks! Looks like I've got some homework to do.

I also think I had modified some of the system info when I originally rooted this thing. It's not my device, and now the owner (much father in law) wants more than just a rooted device, he wants the full tablet experience. And I like hacking someone else's device.
Long story short, I'm learning quite a bit here, so thanks...

Try looking here (post 148). It is a Stock Rom zip for 1.4.1. Try flashing that with your CWM. Use the first one. It still has an assert statement in it so it may also fail, but it is worth a try.

status 7 error
I'm on and a nook tablet and I'm trying to flash 7.2 stable, I already have CM7 Alpha on the nook which the install had gone smoothly. I tried to use rom manager which gets me to clockworkmod but I get the same error - status 7 when trying to install the cm-7.2.0-encore.zip that I downloaded from cyanogenmod.com.
I've tried downloading it a couple of times, I've tried a bootable sd card but I still get status 7 when trying to install. I've followed the install guide cyanogenmod's wiki to the letter but I cannot get past that error. Anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Right now I'm back to CM7 Alpha.

It's because you are on a Nook TABLET. CM 7.2 is for a Nook COLOR. They are completely different devices. If you want to brick your Tablet, keep trying to install this!

mikecico, are you sure you are on a nook color? They look almost identical, but the nook color has a black bezel and the nook tablet is silver. Like I said in my post above, they are different devices and that may be why the zip is rejecting the install. It's doing its job.

I just did a check on the model number, BNTV250. It's a tablet.
Sorry for the noise guys. I think he had told me it's a NC, and I used a NC root method successfully, so I had assumed that was correct.

[Q] Nook stock firmware 1.4.3?

Just read there is a new update for stock Nooks... basically gives more comic-reading options.
I currently have a rooted Nook color and don't really see any real reason to want the latest Nook update, but did want to ask: What would happen if i did update? Would I need to root again afterwards?
I know there's guides on previous versions of Nook, but was wondering if anyone had experience yet w/ the latest update.

I just downloaded it to look at it. It is a complete reflash of your ROM. So my guess is it will undo root. And this from B&N:
The NOOK Color Ver1.4.3 update contains new features and enhancements, including:
• Zoom view in comics and graphic novels
• 2-Page mode in landscape for viewing PagePerfect™ and PDF documents
• Other minor system enhancements
Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk

Thanks for the reply, very helpful!

Mine just automatically updated to 1.4.3. When I boot up it asks if I want to go to the normal home or the rooted home. I can go to the rooted home and my apps are there but I can't launch Google Play. Also, if I select the N button and then Home it just goes back to the default Nook home and I can't switch back to the rooted home. I have to restart the Nook to get back.
I'm going to try nooting it again to see if that corrects the issue.

I'm in the same state. One of my two Nook Colors auto-updated to 1.4.3 and I'm having the exact same symptoms. The other hasn't yet updated and still works fine. Please share your results

Update:
I used clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 and manualnooter 5.02.19. I reinstalled manualnooter without wiping the Nook and I am back in business on both of them

"back in business on both of them"
Including the google app marketplace? Super cool - the market (and gapps in general) require some things to be in /system to hook into to handshake with the Google servers.
I threw together a super minimal "install su and busybox" rooting tool that lets all of my apps run as I prefer but doesn't include the Market. Nice to know I'll be able to get the Market back as soon as I like.

This is why you're supposed to disable OTA updates when you Root a Device. Otherwise your device will update without your permission or foreknowledge. Usually it'll reset everything in System so you'll loose things like Root and Gapps.
Personally I just run CM9 off my 16gb class 10 SDcard. No OTAs to worry about and I get pure Android, all without modifying any of the Nook's Internal Memory.

I have downloaded the update twice from B&N and copied it to the sd card root. Keep getting a message when I try to install the update, using your instructions, that it can't open the archive (bad).
I am trying your method because I can't get the Nook to update normally. I even followed the default NookColor reset instructions then tried to install the update. The update would never even start. Currently sitting at 1.3.0. So I decided to try this CW mod route. More problems...
This update process is getting so frustrating...... I must assume at this point that the archive is bad again. Tried using both IE and Firefox (heard FF causes problems). The CW boot process worked fine so that's not it.
Not sure what more I can do.

You can't edit the zip with archive software. You must entirely extract it, then edit the files, then rezip and re-sign the zip.
To save you the effort, I made a version of 1.4.3 that is CWM flashable and posted it. See my tips thread linked in my signature. See item A12.

[VIDEO] Idiot's Guide - How to Install CM10 on the HP Touchpad

This is my FINAL VERSION of my Idiots Guide for the HP Touchpad. Now that a stable enough version of CM10 is available, I finally created a guide for you.

Thanks for the video. It came just in time as I just purchased a used TP that had an older version of android ICS already on it and I wanted to upgrade but seeing as how this is the first device I have sort of inherited already rooted, it is hard to just jump in and know everything that I would have learned from the beginning like i did with my previous phones.
Anyways, I did everything you said except I used the newest AOKP rom. But my tp is still booting to the older version of android that I had on it. Any ideas? Feel free to pm me if you prefer that.

If the AOKP ROM is using a unique uImage file, then you may see two different entries on your moboot screen for two different Android builds.
What does your moboot menu have in it?

Maybe your install failed. Try downloading and flashing it again. If you're trying AOKP JB, you should wipe both /data and dalvik cache to avoid a boot loop!
If using AcmeInstaller3 remember to rename the ROM with ”update-” at the beginning so that it looks like update-AOKPJB_UnOfficial.zip

I believe it was the "update-" thing that was keeping it from updating. I followed another video tutorial which provided files that had the "update" in front of them and it worked.
I haven't tried yet but now that it worked will the regular method of wiping and flashing through recovery work? (Like, if I want to try out different JB Roms) Are there any files that need to be in a particular place for the recovery method to work? I tried that method first and it would never take, would always revert back to the original version. Don't know if, because I just jumped in and haven't been here from the beginning, I am just missing a necessary step that is hardly even talked about anymore.

Love your work Rev! Thank you again for everything that you do!
Update went like clockwork, unfortunately I can't seem to get the camera to work (not a terrible loss, but I was sorta excited to see it actually working with this release).

I can attest to the improved battery life on this cm10 build. Amazingly, it holds battery life when it's sleeping now.

Thank you so much for taking the time in making the video for us. Your instructions are easy to follow, hard for anyone to mess up.
(The hosting site for the files is not working, not sure if you were aware)

Hi, I have CM9 running on my TP. With the latest release, the camera works great. But before updating it to CM10, I'd like to know about the issues currently in this build.
Thanks.

Don't go for external mirrors unless some recognized developer suggests them. Best will be to wait for goo.im to come up again, being a prime site, it won't be down for long.

The goo servers do appear to go down on occasion. They always come back up a bit later.

Problem with installing GAPPS using ACMEInstaller3
Excellent tutorial for an idiot like me. Thanks for again for the guide! Question:
I followed the instructions step by step and was able to get CM10 installed successfully. However, I wasn't able to get GAPPS installed using this method. From researching I understand sometimes there is a problem installing GAPPS through ACMEInstaller3 and one can simply get GAPPS installed through CWM Recovery. However, I would like to use/have TWRP instead so is there a way to get GAPPS installed properly through ACMEInstaller3 and then I can install TWRP through GooManager?
Alternatively, is there a way to install GAPPS without using CWM Recovery?
Or, I guess I can install CWM Recovery first, then install TWRP Recovery, then remove CWM Recovery while keeping TWRP and not go back to the stock Recovery? I tried to search the forums and wasn't able to find instructions on removing CWM Recovery WHILE still keeping CM10 and not go back to the Stock recovery.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

@reverendkjr - appreciate your videos. they're awesome. definitely helped me (and several other friends) many times and saved a ton of time. super easy to follow.

Yes you can install TWRP normally, flash gapps in CWM then install goomanager app, open and click the 3 dot menu and install custom recovery script then it will install it
Now using a root file manager go to the directory called boot and delete uimage.cwm.img (this is from memory but still should be correct

My goodness you have forgotten everything, you will need to install acmeuninstaller 3, moboot, CMW and the rom you want along with the relevant gapps. Sounds complicated this thread will make it easy

Great vid!! Finally got CM10 on my Touchpad.

Returning to CM7 and Nook won't access Market

Hello XDA peeps.
I've had my Nook color for about 3+ years. Have had both my wife and mine running old versions of CM7 on the SD card without issue.
I recently dug mine out to set up for the kids (for a trip we're taking starting this weekend) and first installed CM10 (10.3 I think). loaded and was able to get apps running w/o issue but the poor old Nook and CM10 was so sluggish I felt it was just too much for this legacy device, so I reflashed to the CM7.2.0 [stable]
loaded just fine, but when I went to install GAPPS it installed fine, but will not allow me to access my account now.
no matter how many times I try, it tells me the password does not match for my account.
I know for a fact the password is the right one, and I can get on the Play store just fine on my Galaxy S3 using the same credentials.
I even reflashed the GAPPS to an older version and no luck.
Any thoughts? Really stuck here, since we're leaving Saturday morning and I want to have both Nooks up and running current versions of our boys fav games to pass the time. right now it has no app store, so it's pretty much a stripped Android tablet.

You said you were running CM7 on SD. How did you install the CM10? Then what did you do to get back to CM7? What wiping did you do?

I actually have the CM10 on the root of the device. I thought I had put it on the SD card, but didn't. (just found this out by accidentally powering on the tablet w/o the card in it)
So, currently downloading the CM 10.2.1 update (from 10.1.3), and perhaps it will fix the sluggishness.
I have a third stock Nook that I have not touched in years that I'm going to flash on the SD card...see if I can't get it to CM7.2 w/o any issues.
but previously I had wiped the card twice and attempted to Reinstall CM7.2.
I think the fault lies in the steps I was following to burn the SD card.
Told me to add the gapps AFTER installing CM7
I was pretty sure in the past I put both on the same SD at the same time.
or it is possible the Google two-step verification/authorization is not compatible with the older Market app. I can get on the Play store just fine on CM10 (but it did have me open in the browser to verify the device).

I don't think CM10.2 is going to help. CM7 is the best for NC. I would wipe the internal CM10 you have on there and install CM7 to internal. Be sure to put the right gingerbread gapps on there too.

yes, thank you. I feel anything higher than CM7 just boggs the processor on these dated tablets. For a kids' tablet, it's just fine and will run most of their games/books and it remains snappy. CM10 just feels overloaded. It is sluggish and slow to respond. I'll try to get it moved back to CM7.
I've been trying to flash the other Nook, but after much effort, I have not been able to get it to boot into recovery.
I have the same card set-up, but I cannot get it to start with the card....constantly goes to the B&N root.

Sometimes it is difficult to get the NC to boot from an SD. See my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read section A9.

Thanks Leapinlar,
Still running into issues. now on BOTH Nooks.
I was pretty sure I remember something about an updated B&N ROM that was signaled with a Green sticker on the box, which the troublesome boot one has.
I am using the generic_sdcard_v1.3.img + cm-7.2.0-encore.zip + gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip all being burned via Terminal on Mac.
The only thing that has changed since I was dabbling with these in the past was the CM release.
I am not able to find my original bookmark of the tutorial I used to use (2+ years ago) so I think there might be a flaw in the instructions I'm following now. (for instance, the instructions I'm following now, the dd= command isn't proceeded by 'sudo' and without the sudo command, it errors out when trying to write the generic SD image to the disc (says disc is not available or locked).
gonna keep trying, because I want to get these up and working for our trip...we have 36+ hours of driving over the course of a week, so I know they'll get bored of looking at sights, reading books, watching DVDs, etc. Mainly for my own sanity, since I'll be driving.
**EDIT* i found the original tutorial I used years ago in my trove of bookmarks. It was the original GlassKeys tutorial. gonna give that a shot and report back with my success/errors.

Well, one thing, if you are going to use that old original image file you need to rename the CM zip to begin with update-. That will not help with the booting issue, but will make it so that image will recognize the CM zip.
I have an updated image zip in my updated instructions for NC SD installs linked in my signature.

Thanks. should have mentioned that I did rename the file to "update"
got my old CM10 to boot into Linux penguin and it seemed to be doing it's thing, after formatting the SD card following the GlassKeys instructions, but it is now booting to CM10 still by default and if I hold the "n" key for the boot menu on Cyanoboot and try to boot from SD card (normal or recovery) it just stays on that screen until I power it down.
as for the second, untouched Nook, I did the GlassKeys instructions to the SD card for that and it loaded to Penguin and went through all the install procedures, but now it still boots to the B&N emm setup screen.
wish I had never taken the other to CM10. now I have two Nooks that aren't acting properly.
thing that bugs me is the first one was running fine, just market wouldn't recognize my sign-in...now both are jacked.:silly:

SUCCESS!!!
So thank you goes out to leapinlar!!!
I dropped what I had been doing on my system as far as the files I was burning and read over all your FAQ and tutorial.
I downloaded the files in your how-to and had the tricky OE ROM flashed in a jiff!
The second one is installing now on the peguin screen and JUST now loaded to the CM7.2 bootloader screen.
Still used the GlassKeys instrucitons on how to burn via Terminal on OS X, but used your files (generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.zip )
My original issue, I have found through all this, was that the Market wouldn't allow me to sign in...well that is an issue with the 2-step verification for my Google account I had activated (someone tried to hack my account, so I had it on). Once I turned it off, I was able to open the market and sign in.
Thanks again for your help leapinlar....check this one off!
Going to update both tonight with our boys' fav apps and games and get ready to hit the road first thing Sat morning! :laugh:

If you want something newer I found that cm10.0 was pretty fast on nook color. Better than cm7. Anything newer I also found was to slow and laggy 10.1+. If interested the last nightly cm10.0 rom and gapps are over in the development fourm.

Thanks! but pretty happy with CM7. any more seems to be a bit much for these processors. both are up, loaded full of games/books and ready for the road trip. :highfive:
