I was running Cyanogen Mod 7, but wanted to flash another ROM. I decided to go back to Cyanogen but the recovery in the new ROM was in Chinese. I reflashed Sndinitdefy and rebooted to the new CWM recovery. My phone cannot find the sd card in recovery mode. If I flash to stock froyo, I can see the card. I tried another card and the phone sitll can't find the card/ How do I fix this?
Thank you.

I just switched over to Cyanogenmod 6.1.2 RC2 and before doing so I backed up my stock ROM using Clockwork. I really like Cyanogen however I wanted to boot back into my stock mod to save some of the original apps and data on my SD card to be able to transfer them over to Cyanogen.
I booted into clockwork recovery, cleared data and cache, and went about restoring my stock ROM. Everything installed fine but when I reboot the phone into the Stock ROM the phone gets stuck on the splash(?) screen, the one that just says T-Mobile MyTouch 4G. I proceeded to take out the battery, and reboot into clockwork recovery and reinstall Cyanogen 6.1.2 to hopefully get the PD15IMG file onto the SD card to do a complete stock restore from hboot.
Problem is that when I boot into Cyanogen, my phone no longer shows up as a "removable disc drive" when connected to Windows so that I can't transfer anything to the SD card.
I can get to hboot, s=off, and boot into clockwork recovery but for some reason as I said before, my stock ROM backup won't boot.
Appreciate any insight,

Not 100% sure but it could just be a corrupt backup or an error occurred with the backup. I've had issues with this before, you can probably reformat the sd card and if you can get any info needed off it keep it. I typically transfer "important" files onto my computer such as nandroid backups, some data, downloads, roms etc... for cases like this. What clockwork recovery image were you using?
Ok here is my situation: my phone is rooted and the rom installed is CM alpha build 51. somewhere along the line i think i messed up something and now im unable to backup the current rom w/ CWM to flash a new build/rom etc. when i try to backup current rom is restarts into recovery and when i try to backup there it says that its unable to mount system. Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.7 but in recovery mode it says 2.5.1.2 and when i try to flash a later version it just stays on 2.5.1.2. anyways
Q1. Anyone have a solution for this ?
if not
Q2. should i flash back to my original recovery and flash up again ?
Q3. What can i remove from the sd card ? its getting kinda full. can i completely wipe it ? I want to completely wipe it and flash CM7.
You need to use clockwork 3 to backup any version of cm7. You need to fastboot flash that recovery back on, then make backup, then flash 2.5.1.2, then restore 2.2 rom.
2.2 roms = CWM 2.5.x
2.3 roms = CWM 3.x
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.
edit: found the answer. It appears that once CWR is installed the emmc way, you can install updates through CWR. No SD needed anymore. That's must have been the SD card way.
It's been a while since I've worked on my daughter's NC. When she got it first, I rooted and used CM7 using the SD card method. This way she could go back to the stock setup taking the SD card out.
We then decided that we really did not use the original setup much and were always on the CM7 setup, so I did the emmc rooting. My questions:
1-I remember putting the nightly build update file on an sd card and booting through it to get the update. I can't remember if that was the SD card method or the emmc method?
2- Now that I'm rooted through emmc, to install a new nightly build or even the ICS, can I just boot into CWR and install a zip file?
I have been running CM9 on NC SD card for a ,couple of days now. I have CM7.1 in emmc. I find CM9 to be more phone-ey but I haven't had time to truly get used to it. I attempted to backup via Rom Manager today, it dumped me into recovery, tried to install gapps, failed & shut down. Anyone have issues like this. Not stopping production, but I love my backups. Just can't get enough.

ROM Manager does not work with SD installs. If you try to use it, it tries to boot to CWM recovery to accomplish its tasks. You have no CWM recovery on an SD install. It is a special recovery script written by verygreen. That is what you see scrolling by after ROM Manager tells it to reboot.
But there is a way to put a custom CWM recovery as an alternate recovery on the SD. It has been specially modified to work with the SD installed partitions. It can back up your SD system for you. See my post here:
