Running CM7.2 on NC. Had several backups made thru CWM 3.0.2.1 (I think) and made mistake of flashing CWM update thru ROM manager. CWM 6.0.3.1 can't mount sdcard now. In CM I can mount and unmount sdcard and access contents, nothing in CWM. I'm a noob and have no idea where to start.

I would get rid of that 6.0.3.1. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature. There are instructions there to make a 5.5.0.4 bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash the 5.5.0.4 zip (the one that says emmc racks) that I also have there to put it on emmc replacing that 6.0.3.1.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
Thanks for the quick response. I did pretty much the same thing. I saved all the downloaded files from rooting and roming it and used those to flash back to cwm 3.2.0.1. Like I said, I'm new so I panicked at first.
Thanks again.

Yes so I accidentially overwrote my CWM original on the Nook color that worked fine with 6.0.3.1. It would not mount my SDCARD. So I used your A10 method and created a SD bootable recovery. I then flashed the 5.5.0.4 recovery to the EMMC.
So I did that but when I went to do a factory wipe, I got an error:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure
then I tried to flash from my SD card but I could not see it. What is wrong with my 5.5.0.4? Shouldn't it see my SDCARD. My SDCARD is fine in my computer reader.
Any help appreciated!!!
Okay. It was a bad SD Card format. All fixed now.

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'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.
Hi all,
Previously i had "Dual boot cm7/cm9" on sdcard and when booting into recovery i was able to find my way around about flashing zips and everything.
Now i wiped SD card and installed, first generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large.img , then CM9 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526115.
Now i have 1) eMMC recovery 3.2.0.1 which has "normal" menu, and if i choose Apply zip from SD card, i cannot find CM9.zip which i downloaded from Goo Manager.
And i also have 2) SD recovery, which is just bunch lines of code with penguin in left corner and after lines of code it just shuts down.
How can i have "normal" recovery menu on SD recovery too?
Thank anyone for help!

If i understood correctly from your tips , there is NO CWM Recovery for SD installs,
so how do we do a backup or restore ROM then?

You read my tips correctly. But keep reading my tips further. There is a section there about installing an alternate CWM recovery for verygreen SD installs that can do backups and restores.
You should read all of Section B.

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?

I've got a NC running stock 1.4.3 that's stuck in a boot loop. I've tried everything to either (1) root it to CM7.2 or (2) restore stock Nook os, including trying to fix the partitions as suggested by leapinlar. I think the problem is that there is no eMMC recovery, so when I try to reboot to recovery to fix the partitions, I get bounced back into the bootloop. I tried installing CWM recovery to eMMC using a bootable microSD with CM7 and RomMgr premium, as well as using CWM with some of the eMMC recovery .zip files found in other posts, and it looks like it gets flashed, but when I then try to boot into recovery I get an error "Install Failed (with an icon of the NC and !). I was thinking of trying to flash recovery to eMMC using adb. When I boot with the CM7 microSD, I'm able to access adb from my desktop. Can't seem to find the right files or instructions on how to flash CWM recovery to eMMC using adb. Any suggestions?

You need to get my bootable CWM card from my tips thread linked in my signature. Then you can flash a new 1.4.3 that I have also in my tips thread. I also have flashable CWM zips there to put CWM on emmc. And if that does not fix it run my partition repair zips using my CWM. ROM Manager does not always install the CWM to emmc properly.
