Between problems with Clockwork recovery and being unable to read a ROM on my SD card (signature won't verify) has caused me to just stay rooted. If anyone has advice on how I can flash a rom with the above issues let me know.
Could I have screwed up unlocking nand protection?
It sounds like you should stick with the stock ROM.
If you simply follow the directions it isn't difficult.

Why dont you flash stock RUU then follow toast root tutorial 1 and 2?
Your first problem was not using toast method and the more stable recovery. Second is giving up without trying them.
Unrevoked and clockwork are not as functional mostly because the clockwork recovery doesn't properly wipe or devices. This causes serious issues when you go to flash a new rom.
People use them because they are easy and are to lazy to read the thread so don't realize the issues. Then get frustrated when it doesn't work.
Are you rooted yet? If not, I used neckface's step by step method cuz I had problems setting up ADB. It takes a bit longer, but is very straight forward. I also used Amon Ra's recovery(really liked it on my G1) Once you're rooted flashing is easy. Just make sure whatever rom you use to READ all the instructions. Also, make sure your sd card isn't corrupt and that the roms are on the root of your card. Hope this helps, there are alot of benefits to full root and using the great roms they have out for our phones.
I did root toasts method

Where are you now, i mean only root with no custom recovery?

Clockwork recovery isn't used with toasts method, it is a modified Amon Ra recovery. If you are rooted, I would go do toasts part 2 again. at the end you will flash the recovery and shouldn't have any problems, make sure you wipe data, davlik cache and cache with that recovery before flashing a new ROM.
Edit: Ok, when I downloaded the files from toasts method 2 wasn't clockworkmod recovery. Thought I better caveat that just in case something changed in the last couple weeks.

yeah, i have to agree.. ive unlocked my windows mobile phones but never rooted until i got my evo.. i was a little nervous but the tutorials are very nice and easily explained.. just followed each step one after another without rushing until everything was good to go.. i have no interest in trying out froyo since a few things arent working at the moment but in actuality you wont have any problems if you are just patient.. i only use fresh roms because ive learned thats the rom of my choice, ive tried others but always went back to fresh so basically im just sticking to whatever flipz releases.. most ppl that indupt having issues are those that rushed the latest ota after it is constantly said to just wait for the devs to add it to their roms.. just be patient and follow the directions slowly and you should be good! and dont give up, when you get stuck you can always come to the forums.. ohh and instead of just creating a new thread of the same questions over and over and over again just start reading around because you will read someone having issues that you havent come across yet and when you actually do run into those problems you will already know how to fix them.. heres a fine example to unroot just load the stock RUU, that questions has been asked over and over again yet ppl that like to be spoonfed just create a new topic instead of using the search button.. i wasnt even sure how to unroot until i read the first topic that was created and since then lazy ppl keep asking that question instead of reading.. ppl are hear to help at xda, but it doesnt get annoying helping those that are just plain out lazy! dont give up bro.. just keep reading, we were all newbies at one time
now as to the reason why i quoted.. if your planning on just giving up when you have issues then sticking to stock is really just the best thing to prevent you from getting frustrated
lol, wow I just saw your two other threads you started. If you are having problems, really, just start back from the beginning and start over. Maybe you forgot to wipe, or as someone else mentioned try formatting your sd card, etc.
starting from scratch and I can't get it to read the pc36img.zip file to root
Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
Did you do the last update?
agreed. start over and do the Toast1 and Toast2 then install RaAmon. I personally like Flipz ROMs. i followed the steps provide to flash the FreshROM and all went well.
move slowly. if something fails, come back and RTFM before you move on blindly.
good luck.
for more help, i'd suggest you include some amount of detail. most folks out here are looking for help/advice. think of it this way...when you go to the doctor or dentist what do they need to know? what/where/when/how/etc ... you don't ONLY say "doc, i'm broke". you say what is wrong/what did you do, where it hurts, when did it work last, how did you get to this point, etc.
in the same way, if you simply say "i can't make it work"...well, we don't really care. but if you say, "i'm stuck at this point. i tried yadayadayada", then the nerds in this community will be unable to prevent themselves from chiming in. it's part of a nerds personality.
if you have read the documentation and followed it, you should have an idea as to which step failed. let's start there.
starting from scratch
I power off and power on and looks ready to read the PCIMG36.zip (goes 4 lines down) and then nothing. It wont read the file. I have tried a variety of pc36img.zip files and a variety of microSD cards, same result, it doesn't read and the progress bar doesn't show.
re:
I'm going to have to agree with you! I am no programmer or hacker but can follow direction and I have tried many of the different way to root my phone so I could tether it and they are all incomplete, missing some part of the equasion. I was able to tether my instintHD in like 5 mins and I have been messing with this for hours.
Start from scratch and use the simple root app. I would also refrain feom doing nand unlocking as I had problems where I would actually lose privilages with that.

Stick with stock
so i just bought my nook color today and i have some questions, i was searching around in the android development forum and their were about 50 different methods of doing everything.
i am experienced with android and how to do anything just if somebody could post up links in an order i need to follow to be able to get CM7 on to it.
if possible flashing to nand would be preferable but if all we have is SD support thats okay too
thanks for the help guys
also i know i will likely get flamed for this thread but just know i am experienced with android and i have ran it on a non native device before (htc vogue).
My go-to link for flashing CM7 to the internal memory:

You can get just about anywhere with the nook via two steps:
1) run autonooter for your software version (THIS is for 1.1, obviously for the other versions it will be a different thread)
2) use the market to download ROM Manager, then flash the CWM recovery and download 7.0.2 from the app (or pull a different CWM zip from the forums onto your card if you prefer) and flash.
Simple enough

okay got that fixed thanks to one of the tutorials on here (thank god thought i bricked it)
so cm7 is booting now how long does this thing take, mine has been going for like 10 minutes but its not like bootlooping is this just because the tablet builds are huge or do i have cause to be uneasy (nook builds like stock software def didnt take this long)

This isn't your Hero!!! I don't think you can brick this thing.... The Nook always tries to boot from SD before internal memory!!! I had a hell of a time getting CM7 to load originally (at least 10+ minutes). Once you get it loaded, put away that SD card you burned the recovery image too.....Put a new SD card in, install Rom Manager, and flash recovery to it from Rom Manager. Once you get there you can Nand and flash stuff just like you do on your phone.
**Edit** If you get really jammed up, here's the thread on returning to stock unrooted B&N firmware, so you can start over....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690&highlight=return+stock
Hello Noob here.
Yesterday I decided to sell my Nook Color on Craigslist since I rarely use it now. Well, today, the buyer wanted me to set it back to original stock which I agreed to thinking it would be a piece a cake. Wrong! Now I have potentially bricked my Nook Color and here I am at this forum praying that someone will be able to assist.
Here's some information on what I have and what I did and what is happening now:
I went into Clockwork Recovery and tried Restore Factory. At which point it said something like "could not locate /cache/log_in.log
I have Clockwork 3.0.0.6.
Then it got stuck on the N screen after "The feature of reading."
After getting frustrated for hours, I got desperate and downloaded a zip file named something like "stock rom 1.2 rom signed" and installed it using Clockwork.
Now I'm stuck on the "Read Forever" screen..... and can't even access Clockwork!!
Is there any hope to fix my Nook Color? I just would like to have it operational again, whether it be stock or rooted.
Okay, I just made a bootable ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.1, but am struggling to find a stock rom file since most of the links in guides I've come across do not work. Help me!
Never mind. After hours of painful research, I've managed to update it to 1.4.2 and remove CMR after. Sorry for any inconvenience.
OK, here's my Beavis and Butthead moment for the week:
I finally got around to running / booting cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd.img from my flash card a couple of nights ago. Once I got it up and running I was looking around through the available programs on it and ended up running a flash upgrade utility on it that went out to the internet and downloaded some "upgrade". It asked me if I knew for sure what I was doing and like an idiot I hit YES. Now the touchscreen doesn't work at all. I've tried running / installing all kinds of things like :
bn_142_factory_recovery.zip
cm10_121208_acclaim_sd_hd.zip
cm-10-20121219-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
They all seem to run from SD OK but still no touchscreen function.
My new Nook specifics WERE : model number BNTV250 software version 1.4.3 when I got it a few days ago.
Is anyone here familiar enough with cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd.img who can tell me what flash utilities are on it? Or maybe tell me how to fix my Nook if possible?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Sorry, thanks for the info.
After pouring thru countless threads, trying to follow different and confusing instructions, clicking on endless dead links and missing files... I finally found success today with an easy fix to restore my NC back to working order (stock). My NC was really screwed up, and files in root were missing-- but this boot image fixed it all. To help anyone else who is having the same issues here are the instructions (hope it will get pinned).
First, check out this Youtube video by Ray Waldo-- http://youtu.be/cmuftsM4xpc
His website is down at the moment where the file you download and create a boot image is.. but I found it listed here on xda in another thread--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562130 (go to post#8 where you can download the image for the 16gb version)
Are you using a Nook Tablet or a Nook Color? All the info you are providing is for the Tablet... perhaps you have a Tablet and that's why it got messed up in the first place... using NC ROMs on a NT
