I'm not a developer by any means, basically I'm just a newbie that can follow instructions.
Some time last year, I purchased a Nook Color and used various sites on the Internet to create a bootable SD Card for CM 10 nightlies.
Every few days or so, I would look to see if there was a new nightly available. If so I would download it, insert my sd card into the adaptor and then into my laptop, place the new download into my sd card folder, eject the sd card, insert it into my Nook Color, boot it into the SD Recovery mode, then after installation, boot it normally.
I've been doing that since last year, so much so that now I don't even remember how to do anything else.
Well, a few days ago, I followed my normal routine except this time I made a mistake. I accidentally downloaded the nightly for one of the LG phones instead of the Nook. So after I followed my normal routine, the Nook wouldn't boot. It just stayed on a black screen that made it look like it was off but it was actually still on.
It took a few days for me to catch my mistake, but once I did I downloaded what I thought was the correct nightly.
But this time, I didn't know we had switched to 10.1. So when I booted into the Nook Color, it didn't look right...the time showed up differently, some of my shortcuts were missing, and the wireless didn't work.
At first I thought it was because I had downloaded the LG phone nightly. But then I read about 10.1 and wasn't sure how to get the Nook working properly.
So I decided "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and went back to the last cm10 download that I still had on my laptop, which was the one from March 30.
I followed my normal routine again, and instead of the Nook booting, it's just on the CyanoMod screen with the circle going around and it's not booting. Now what?
Any suggestions are urgently appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
You destroyed your installation when you installed that LG version. If you had been installing to emmc, the installer would have caught the error and not let you. But the SD installer does not check first.
So you either need to start over with a new SD installation or install my Alternate CWM for SD and wipe /system and then install the correct CM.
To install fresh follow my instructions in my NC SD install guide linked on my signature.
To install my Alternative CWM for SD, go to my NC Tips thread also linked in my signature and read item B5.

How can I save my content?
Most of it is just apps that are linked to my Google account, and over 1,000 Kindle ebooks,
But I do have a few things that I downloaded from the Internet that I would like to keep.
Thanks in advance
P.S. Also, what is the difference in the two options that you gave?

The difference is using the alternate CWM may save your content. I say may because just wiping /system may not be enough and you may need to wipe /data too, which means you lose installed apps, but downloaded material and kindle books stay.
Starting fresh you lose everything.

I downloaded the alternate CWM, extracted it, and put the files on my SD Card, but I wasn't sure what you meant by "wiping/system".
So what I did was I cleared the cache, and then I put the latest cm 10.1 file and the gapps to go with it on my card, and booted into recovery as usual.
Then I booted up the Nook and it looks just like it did the first time...where the digital clock looks different, and there is no wifi. I press the wifi button to "on" but it doesn't do anything.

Wiping system means going to mounts and storage and picking format system. Wiping cache will not fix the problem.
After wiping /system, put the new CM and matching gapps zips on the boot partition like you always have and boot to SD recovery. It will install as usual. Then it may boot normally. If it does not, go to the Alternate CWM again and "wipe data/factory reset". Then reboot and you will need to setup and reinstall your apps, but your downloads will be there.

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that worked.
I'm fully up-to-date now and am running the CM 10.1. And I didn't lose any of my data.
I almost want to say that it even seems to be running faster than the March 30 cm10 version that I was running before.
I mainly use my Nook Color to read Kindle books, and it's so funny because if I had known that Amazon offered such a better selection of ebooks I wouldn't have purchased the Nook in the first place.
Now I was able to update my Kindle app to the latest version that mimics the Kindle (the real one) so I'm really excited.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi,
So I got my girlfriend this gift basically right when it came out. I rooted it, and flashed CM 7.1 RC1 (literally came out that day) a long time ago.
She gave it to me yesterday to get her PDF's on there. I opened the market and nothing would pop up except for the like 5 total apps, while the Browser was working 100% fine. I go to my apps in the market and try downloading updates and they kept failing. I was frustrated, so I downloaded the latest Cyanogen Nightly and Gapps. I updated CWM to 6.0.3.1, then made a backup of the existing ROM. I went into recovery, and tried finding the Nightly and Gapps I downloaded, but the SD Card would never mount. I'm not sure how I can fix this.
Please help, thanks a ton!

hmmm what about putting the stuff in the phone memory and flash there

Since you did it so long ago, do you remember if you installed the CM7 to emmc or SD? That may be your issue.
And how did you get 6.0.3.1? Rom Manager? That may be your issue too.

Thanks for the responses! To be 100% honest, I don't remember how I rooted/flashed. I know I had to buy an SD card for it though, and the SD card is labeled BOOT
I did get 6.0.3.1 through ROM Manager.

Do you need the SD inserted for it to boot to your CM7? If so, you installed to SD and with an SD installation, you do not use CWM to install upgrades. That is why you cannot see the zip you downloaded. If you want to upgrade a CM7 SD install to CM10, you need to start over with a newly burned SD. The old SD setup is not compatible with CM10. Use my guide linked in my signature.
You might just want to put CM10 on internal memory, replacing whatever is there. Just download the new CM zip to emmc with CM7, boot to emmc CWM, remove the SD, wipe data/factory reset and flash the new CM zip using the "install from SD/choose from internal memory" option. Then you need to flash the right gapps to match. Then reboot. Once you are sure everything is working, you can format your old SD with SDFormatter so it can be used as a normal data SD. Get it free on the web.

Hi, I'm a moron. I accidentally dragged some files that I meant to put in a different window onto my Nook's internal storage, and now I can't boot past "Read Forever"—it doesn't even continue to the N, shuts back down to black. It does this whether or not the SD card is in. Since I put CWM on it, now I can't restore from the 8 boot attempts, but I also can't seem to restore from anything else on the SD card.
I just erased everything on the card and put stock NC 1.2 on it, but I still have no luck booting up the NC to it.
How do I fix this? I can't even mount the NC on a computer to delete the files. (They were .just 2 zip files of CM10 and Google Apps.)
Hey, just to clarify, by "internal storage" I mean the same space where you can sideload files.

That still does not help me. You mean the drives that show up in windows explorer? That should not have caused any problem. Give use a bit more info. There must have been something else that happened.
If you go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature, I have both bootable CWM SDs and a zip you can flash to put stock recovery back on internal memory so you can do the 8 failed boot. There are even instructions on how to do the 8 failed boot. See item A12.

Yeah, it was put into that space called "MyNook" (or such) where you can add other files. I also don't know what is going wrong, and I'm confused. I had just used uNooter and then CWM, and was going to load CM10 and GApps but I have not been able to boot beyond "Read Forever" since they were dragged to that internal drive.
I just put on the bootable CWM and a stock zip to the SD card but apparently now my Nook needs to charge before I can see if it works.

I found uNooter through the CyanogenMod wiki page for the NC. (I am not allowed to post URLs, apparently.) I followed that page and got as far as replacing the stock recovery, with everything working fine. Then I ran into issues with getting ADB to work with Terminal, so I never got CM10 or GApps onto the SD card. I dragged them to the internal storage and when I tried to reboot into the stock Nook, it didn't work. (I was able to reboot after rooting and replacing stock recovery before this, both with and without the SD card, there was only a problem after the files went onto the internal storage.)

It was not putting those files on internal memory that caused the issue. Something else happened with the uNooter after you installed it.
If my stock recovery zip and 8 failed boot does not fix it, I recommend you go to my NC partition repair thread linked in my signature and follow the steps there.

Thanks, I will be trying the NC partition repair next. It seems to be ignoring the bootable CWM & stock zip entirely (or at least it will not boot at all) despite being fully charged.
EDIT: It looks like I spoke too soon! I'm now able to boot into CWM after leaving the NC sitting around for a few hours! I restored the ROM, put on stock 1.4.1, then did 8 failed boots and went back down to 1.2.0.
So, now I am now to 100% stock and debating my next steps.

You are trying to flash the older stock zips with a new recovery (CWM 6.0.3.1 or the newest TWRP). The older zips are not compatible with them. Go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and get CWM version 5.5.0.4 on SD (item A10) and use that to flash the stock ROM. I have a link to the latest stock ROM there too (item A15).

Do you have both the stock recovery zip and the rom zip on your sd? There may not be room to expand the zip. Try deleting the ROM zip and just have the stock recovery zip on the SD. Then try flashing it.

Before flashing, did you do a full wipe?
CWM > Wipe data & factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe your system partition?
I have a Nook Color as well, but I'm running CM7. I read somewhere that your CWM must be version 6.xxx to properly flash CM10 based roms. I believe that is your problem. Btw, CM7 has better performance on this old device.
flashing
i actually never flashed clockwork. all i did was use winimage to partition the card, then just dragged and dropped gapps and cm 10.1.2 20130815 nightly. then it broke after installing a few apps. ive been looking for CWM to wipe everything. from wut i understand CWM wipes it COMPLETELY unlike the 2 stock methods i used before. its like it just wont boot from the sd card anymore. it installs the CM but after its done it just boots up to nook. if you or anyone can tell me where to find CWM it would be much appreciated. i dont understand their site layout and the youtube directions dont have working links for CWM. any ideas? and thx so much for the response. i know from reading now that cm7 was wut i shud have installed instead of the newer extremely unstable cm9 and cm 10.2.
ALSO, im reading about CWM software is related to SD card size? i only have a 32gb sd which is not mentioned in any of the tutorials on how to use CWM. does it rly matter?

Sure thing. Here are the instructions for flashing CWM to your internal flash using a microSD card. You'll need a microSD card reader for this. Look on Amazon for the IOGear MicroSD card reader, I bought it recently for $6 in total.
Read this thread thoroughly, it is simple enough. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12797652
Also, I would suggest you install CM7 MiRaGe rom instead of stock CM7. It performs really well, and I have it overclocked to 1.2GHz stable. Here is the MiRaGe thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873

Nah, it works man. There's just a little bug you need to take care of. Go to the Mirage thread again, on the bottom of the first post, you'll see it says "wifi disconnecting? Read <link>". It's an easy fix. I had it too.
