I'm currently trying out TWRP 2.4.1.0 from the development section running internally. Should I decide to return to CWM, what is the best method for doing so?
Download the IMG file, put it in your platform-tools folder and put tab in bootloader. Check for connection by typing 'adb devices', then fastboot flash recovery *name of recovery*
From my Evo LTE, yup.
I'd hate to hear the hard way :silly:
Does that mean there isn't a flashable zip that can be loaded via a bootable CWM SD card?

There is one in my Nook Color Tips thread. Just flash it with anything, even your existing TWRP, and it will put CWM back on internal.
Edit: if you have a newer TWRP, it may refuse to flash my zip because the new TWRP does not like one of the components on my old zips. It gives an error 02. Just use my bootable CWM to do it.

I did a search for 'boot recovery' and read a few thread going back to May, but none of them seem to quite fit what happened to me. If I have missed the instructions, please link to them and I'll check it out.
First the setup:
My NC is stock 1.2 on the EMMC. I then followed the instructions in the Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. The only step I cheated on was copying both update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip to the SD card after the card was imaged. The rom and gapps installed and work as intended.
Next it was my intent to install update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-063011.zip for a little speed boost. But I couldn't get it to boot into recovery with the various hold this button timings and choosing reboot from the power button options. I then went into ROM Manager and Flash ClockworkMod recovery, which flashed 3.2.01 to the EMMC. I have confirmed that by removing my CM7 SD card and successfully booting to recovery.
So now what? I would have thought the Rom Manager should have flashed the CWM recovery to the SD card, as that is what I had booted from. How can I uninstall the CWM from EMMC and force it to installed to the SD card?
Thanks,
Zhin
Did you just say up there "which flashed 3.2.01 to the EMMC"? why did you expect it "should have flashed the CWM recovery to the SD card"?
Anyway, if you want to run from uSD, then anything related to eMMC or files that have "emmc" on file name, then ignore, discard it.
In your case, after you booted into recovery (using power button, and its options), you should be all set.
I don't now what makes you went into ROM Manager and flashed it

Because I thought that when you flashed a rom to the SD card and booted off the SD card it was treated the SD card as the 'local disk'. With the EMMC just being seen as additional storage when you where running off the SD. So when I booted from the SD card and opened Rom Manager while running from the SD card, I should think it would have flashed the CWM to the SD card.

The only way I can get to recovery is to remove the SD. How can I make sure to install update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-063011.zip to the SD card? Can the SD card be put back in after booting to recovery?

When it wouldn't boot into recovery after the clean install from my OP, I started to look for other options. When I launched Rom Manager it said there was no recovery option installed.

Rom Manager is useless for SD installs; just don't run it. It's not like most Android apps that only look at filesystem names (/sdcard, /emmc, etc), it uses the hardware device names (/dev/block/...) for its manipulations and pretty much assumes an emmc install.
Having CWM on emmc isn't a problem, it won't interfere with running the stock NC software from an emmc boot. I haven't run stock in forever, I don't know what they had for a recovery boot, but there are "restore to stock" threads that will show you how to find the parts if you want to put it back.
What were you intending to do by installing CWM? The recovery that comes with the SD install is what flashes new builds for you, so you don't want to mess with it. You can install CWM on the SD as an alternate boot instead of a recovery (uAltImg and uAltRam instead of uRecImg and uRecRam) and use the u-boot that comes with recent CM7 builds to boot it if you want to play with it.

I can restore to stock easily enough. I have an image of the stock install for easy recover for just these circumstances.

The install instructions for the dalingrin kernels said they were CWM flashable. I wasn't going to get too fancy, but maybe I should look at some of the alternate boot options.
Thanks!

I accidentally did the same exact thing before I realized VG included his own recovery on the SD. From what I've read, to uninstall CMW from the emmc, you need to create a separate CMW SD and do a full restore to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
As for putting CMW on the SD, IDK. VeryGreen's method of just appending "update-" to rom file names and placing them on the root of the SD has worked for me.
I didn't say anything about using files that said emmc in the OP.

Because you were confusing as indicated in your thread, I was just suggesting eliminating anything about "emmc" if you intended to run off uSD. I did not say you did it, I just recommend it. For instance, Dalingrin OC kernel, there are several versions out there and anything with "emmc", then you should ignore them. That's all

I did the same thing and am too wondering how to remove it for warranty purposes. My Nook came w/ 1.2...does that mean 'd have to restore to stock 1.0.1 and then upgrade to 1.2?

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to install clockwork recovery on to the nook itself. I can boot it up with an sd card, but since I want to put muiu on the nook, it seems like a good idea to have recovery on the nook.
There don't seem to be any link to the latest version of cwr in the development thread, and it has been a couple of weeks since someone posted there asking for a link, but never got a reply.
I guess what I'm really looking for is a .zip of the latest clockwork recovery that I can install on the nook through the clockwork recovery I have on my sd card.
Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated!
Go to ROM manager in applications and select Flash CWM Recovery. It'll install to the emmc.

He's running off an SD card. ROM Manager only works with internal installations.
To the original poster: Once you flash CWR to the eMMC you no longer have a stock Nook for the purposes of warranty. Why not just go all the way and put CM7 on the eMMC? You can follow the directions here: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/
Make sure you choose the newest version of CWR (v3.2.0.1) when you do this!

Yeah, but CM7 on SD still has ROM Manager installed. OP wants to put CWM on the emmc. Hitting the "Flash CWM Recovery" selection in ROM Manager will put the latest CWM on their emmc. (I know it does, because I was noob enough to accidentally do it to my own Nook).
But that's what Crwly was asking about, right?
I am dual-booting CWR and CM7, both off the microSD. I used verygreen's installer to put CM7 on the microSD first, then installed racks11479's modified CWR. This does not satisfy ROM Manager, but it does let you backup, restore, and install zip packages off your 4th partition.
EDIT: Oh, and you do need another microSD to boot CWR, before you could use it to "flash" CWM SD Dualboot 0.1 to your current microSD.
I'm trying to update my original NC to 1.4.1 and when it boots to
recovery to install, it ends up in CWM ?!? How do I restore original
emmc recovery to emmc, so the update zip will run?
My card has Nookie Froyo (4 partitions) and
other than the accidental CWM on emmc its
vanilla.
I'm used to HTC's hboot's put a specially named
zip file in the external cards root to flash a new
recovery, (or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
How is it done for NC?
thanks
Without using an sdcard....
this may help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461172
Ok so I rooted and installed CMW on like the 23rd of June and it installed CMW onto my phones internal SD (I guess it didn't recognize the external SD). Apparently now there is a fix to flash CMW onto the SD card but I can't find any instructions on how to uninstall CMW from the internal SD... Do I just delete the folder and then flash CMW onto the external?
The second problem is that now that I have updated my rom manager and CMW to the latest version I can't get into recovery. It just boot loops and I have to boot into download mode and reboot from there.
Help is greatly appreciated! I want to be able to try CM10 so bad lol.

You seem a bit confused on the CWM works -- Your first problem, really isn't a problem at all.When you flash a different version of CWM, there isn't any need to delete any folder. With that said, some back-ups from one version(s) of CWM may not work with others.
If you are on T-Mo as your info says, download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, and follow the instructions from this thread very carefully - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552
This should fix both your problems and also install the version of CWM that is compatible with both internal and external storage.
I have run my NC using a dualboot sdcard since I got it. I decided to jump in and flash CM7.2 to the emmc and, to make a long story short, trashed the stock recovery partition and used LeapinLar's helpful advice and recovery fixes to get it all working. Now I have some questions that remain:
a) I have LeapinLar's CWM 5.5.0.4 installed as alternate boot; stock recovery as recovery boot. I was under the impression that one could flash either CWM or TWRP to the emmc recovery partition without problem, but I now think that's unwise since you can get into a recovery bootloop that can't be fixed without the stock recovery in place. True or false?
b) If a) is true, can one flash either a current CWM or TWRP recovery to the emmc alternate partition or does that always have to be done from a bootable sd?
Thanks for any advice.

a) it is true, but a lot do it. To be safe leave stock as primary recovery.
b) It is not really an alternate partition. The boot partition just has files named differently. There is no reason you can't replace my alternate 5.5.0.4 CWM with TWRP. All you have to do is put the normal TWRP files on the boot partition of emmc and make sure the two TWRP files are named uAltImg and uAltRam. Probably the easiest way to make that happen is to download the TWRP zip that you usually flash to make it the normal recovery. Then open that zip with an archive program and rename two files. Rename uRecImg to uAltImg and uRecRam to uAltRam. Once renamed, save the zip. Flash my zip first, putting stock as primary recovery and CWM as alternate. Then flash the modified TWRP zip and it will replace my alternate CWM with TWRP as the alternate.
This is sort of related to a question I was gonna ask...
I have a full CWM backup (made with 3.2.01 actually) of my stock nook. If I flash the emmc with cm7 or whatever, can I use this backup to restore *everything* later if I need to including recovery?

Yes. It will restore whatever you had on emmc when you backed it up, including recovery.
