ok so after 3 days of trying, i keep getting stuck on a boot-loop I am asking for some help.
before I begin, I have successfully rooted and installed cm7 on 2 nooks that came factory 1.2,I have searched google and these forums but can't find anything with my specific needs.
I have followed the directions on this thread to a tee:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
i am using a bootable cwm card (2GB) (cwm version 3.0.2.8)
after installing ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip then ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip I remove the sd card and reboot and I get a boot-loop with the "n color" screen animation. It has not booted successfully yet.
I have already used the 8 failed boots method to restore to factory and re-registered the nook.
Then I redid everything again and im back at the boot-loop.
any ideas
i do not have an answer but this answers my question of whether I want to run manual nooter on my 1.3 or try cm7. the cm7 steps seems more intimidating
Well i tried several more times last night with no luck. Then i got brave and just wiped everything (data,system,cache,dalvick) then flashed cm7 and gapps straight from my cwm boot card. I somehow
Ended up with a fully functional nook. App market works. Rebooted several times to be sure. I even tried usb host with my homemade adapter. Mouse, keyboard, and sandisk cruzer all work splendidly thru a powered hub.
My only mistake was i cant find my backup of stock 1.3 rom. Is there one floating around?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to go from CM to 1.3, correct?
From what you've described, I suspect Clockworkmod 3.0.2.8 is your problem. If you look carefully as you format /data in preparation for reloading the BN 1.3 firmware, I think you'll see that the format is actually failing. That version of CWM doesn't handle the partitions correctly.
You want 3.2.0.1. See the edits at the top of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735
If you're already on CM7.1, you probably have the correct version of CWM installed. You can save yourself a step by formatting the /data and /system partitions using that, then continuing on with the rest of the procedure for restoring BN 1.3. I went through all this myself a few days ago while preparing to go to BN 1.4.1.
I forgot to mention in my last post that i realized i was using the wrong cwm image and i burned another card with cwm 3.2.01.
I was still getting a boot-loop so i wiped everything and went straight to cm7.

I didn't read your post correctly.
I had a stock nook that i want to install cm7 on. Not the other way around. I asked about a stock 1.3 file just in case i need to do a restore. The nook is done. Its running cm7 just fine and i have given it back to my friend.
I really need to get myself one :-(
I usually mess around with my sons but he's at his mothers for the weekend with it. After christmas im getting one. Dont know if it'll be a color or a nook tablet but im getting one for sure!

If you intended to install CM7 from beginning, then why you wasted time messing around with ManualNooter?
Im still rather new to working on nooks. I thought that it was required to use manual nooter first. Im still not sure.
Can someone clarify for mr. If i just bought a nook and i want cm7 on it, whats the best procedure?

The only boot loop issue I'm aware of is related to Adobe AIR and Flash. The fix is to uninstall them and then reinstall from Market.

I hope you do use Windows at some points.
Let's put it this way.
You bought a PC with Windows XP pre-installed, get home, you don't want XP, so you install Windows 7 on the PC. You just whack the XP.
Same theory applied here, B&N shipped their NC out with the original stock ROM, which is Froyo-based OS. You want to install CM7, which is Gingerbread-OS ROM. You just whack the stock and install CM7.
oh I get it know. so its pretty easy if you want to go straight to cm7 just wipe and flash.
After reading some posts from the nook tablet section, i guess i'm getting a nook color.
what a shame about the locked bootloader :-(
i didnt technically solve the boot loop issue, i just erased everything, but should I mark this as solved and if so how?
The current Nook Color bootloader is not locked. The Nook Tablet's is. I wouldn't necessarily rule anything out, though. The bootloader on the Motorola Droid 2 is also locked, and there's quite an active Cyanogenmod community around it. The only problem is that we're stuck with whatever kernels B&N release, so ICS may be a long way off. I suspect the NC will remain the tuner's machine of choice, but the performance on the NT is very nice. If you can live with a rooted B&N ROM, it's a nice device for now.

No, it seems that some 1.3 based NC units will bootloop if 4.6.16 is used to root them. I'm not sure why. Even after repartitioning to original nook partition sizes, or using CWM 3.2.01 (which supports the new partitioning), it'll still bootloop if 4.6.16 is used. Might be because of the different kernal included, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure. They root fine with 4.5.18. Haven't tried one with the new 1.4.1 compatible nooters.
To the original poster;
I'm having the same problem here, installed 4.15 successfully, installed 4.16 and am getting stuck in boot loop at the rainbow nook color screen.
I'm not understanding the 8 boot fail procedure though. Is this when you let the boot loop run through 8 times or when you get to the point of when the boot loop starts, shut the NC off and power it back on?
Also, to install cm7, all you did was put it on your sd card, and installed it through cwm?
The 8 boot method if i recall correctly is when you boot the nook and wait until the splash screen shows up immediately hold the power button and shut it down. Repeat 7 more times. If you did it correctly it should take over and do a restore on its own.
If you want to go straight to CM7 I dont think you need to go thru with this procedure because if you create a bootable cm7 card and insert it in your nook while its off then power up, it should boot you into cwm recovery. Once in the recovery you can flash cm7.

Thank you good sir! I was stuck in boot loop forever and couldn't find a clean explanation of the 8 boot fail process. I always tried to turn it off when the rainbow nook color screen came up.
I got it reset, made a flashable CWM SD card with 3.2 and then flashed CM7 on there and it works great!!
That was very frustrating, thank you!
Dont mention it, Glad to here I was able to help you out. I felt the same way when I was in that situation. Lots of googling to get a clearer idea on what that 8 boot method entailed. CM7 really makes it feel like a totally different device.
To all the devs that work on these projects, thank you

ive recently purchased a nook color version 1.3 and did all the steps to build cm7 on sd ard inserted it into my nook it downloaded then rebot and seem to come up im cm7 but my touch screen isnt working any suggestions?
I've got a nook color that I originally set up for my sister around a year ago. It's got an old version of miui installed directly to the internal memory. (android version 2.3.4) She never used it, and now it seems like it is way out of date, and can't get anything worthwhile on the market for it, not even angry birds for her kids to play. There is nothing worthwhile on the tablet, so I don't care about losing any data on it. I am trying to update it with a newer rom and running into nothing but problems. It's rooted and I know I put clockwork mod on it, but if I boot into recover the screen just goes black. I try to download clockwork mod from the market to make sure it is up to date but it won't cope up when I search for it. I try to put anything bootable on the SD card and the nook won't power on. Can anyone help me get this thing straightened out?
You will not find clockworkmod recovery on the market. Try opening ROM Manager from your apps drawer. It should find an up to date clockworkmod for the nook color and download and install it for you. If you cannot find ROM Manager, you can install that from the market. Use ROM Manager to boot to clockworkmod. Then you can flash other roms.

Check this thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700105
Basically it says that the 'playstore' has stopped working on MIUI. I would suggest downloading the lastest stable of cyanogenMod for your nook color and the latest .gapps for it. Make sure you are using Clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 for the nook color , all of these files are available through a google search.
Here on the forums here is the link for Recovering your eMMC. DO NOT layer a cyanogenMod build over a MIUI build, it will hose out your kernel base. That means you will have to backup your data with clockworkmod as a nandroid backup and wiping your data and caches on that eMMC. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759558
I had made a dual boot sd card running Cyanogenmod 7.1 but when my nook started giving the message that xx has stopped responding. I tried to modify my SD to upgrade to Cyanogenmod 7.2. Unfortunately I ended up flashing CM 7.2 to the emmc and lost the stock nook app. I can't figure out how to get to a recovery menu to flash a stock nook rom back to the machine so I can start back with a dual boot sd card. Any help is much appreciated. Unfortunately, I knew just enough about rooting to be dangerous.

Easiest way get stock back is to flash it with a CWM bootable card. See my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A15.

Thanks. Works like a champ.
I've been using a N2A card to run CM on a Nook HD+. Yesterday I rebooted into the native Nook operating system and upgraded with Google Play support.
The good part is that the apps I got from Google Play are available. I even loaded Nova Launcher to bypass the B&N home screen. It is working well so far. The only trivial problem is that at times (such as going into the settings menu) it does ask again which home screen is wanted.
It also seems faster and more stable. I get a lot of crashes with the N2A card. (The seller did send me a beta late last week which I haven't had a chance to test yet). However, this is not a fair comparison. I have lots of apps set up with the N2A card and very few when booting into the Nook and there is an excellent chance that the crashes come from some of my apps. (I don't mean this to be criticism of N2A--just looking at pluses and minuses of each way of using the tablet).
The negative side of using the new B&N software is that apps other than from the B&N store and Google Play remain blocked. The rare program which I purchased directly from the software writer, along with the few apps I got for free from Amazon which I actually use cannot easily be used unless repurchased from the Play store. I'm also finding that several apps which I got onto the N2A card are listed as not being available for the Nook thru the Play Store. Obviously the advantages of rooting are also lost, but this isn't as important to me on the tablet as on my phone (other than losing the ability to sideload apps).
I'm wondering about the experiences of others who load rooted ROM's from sdcards versus the new B&N software. Any differences in performance from running the operating system directly from the Nook as opposed to the sdcard, and any differences in stability?
If you want to be able to install third party apps in stock, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the Extras zip. It enables unknown sources so those are not blocked.
N2A gets their ROMs here so expect them to act the same.
Battery life is much better with stock. It deep sleeps a lot when the screen is off.

There's no problem installing third party apps when booting with N2A. I'm comparing the updated stock OS which now allows apps from Google Play but unfortunately doesn't allow installation of other apps. If it allowed for the installation of other apps I might give up on booting from the SD to get a rooted tablet and run it as a stock Nook.

I understood what you meant. I was saying you can fix that in the new version of stock by flashing that zip. And you can do that without rooting it.

How do you flash a zip with stock? It certainly doesn't allow that without modification (I would assume rooting).

Look at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And yes, you can do it without rooting. You don't flash with stock, you flash to stock using a bootable CWM card. You can even use the CWM on your N2A card (assuming they left it there when they copied the ROM from here).

With Nook's 2.1 ROM for the HD+, is one required to revert back to stock ROM, update to 2.1, then reapply the Hybrid fix? I'm considering a straight up stock ROM install in any event given the deep sleep, stability and increased responsiveness reported by some, then reinstall the Hybrid SD.
I've read through this and other leapinlar threads (all excellent and worth the read in their own right) and if the procedure is explained, for those running the Hybrid HD, I missed it.
As kudos, Leapinlar's clear explanations, instructions and flashes are at the head of the class, any ROM class, and I've flashed plenty on various smartphones and tablets. Barnes and Noble would do well indeed to make him an offer he can't refuse!
Then again I'd selfishly prefer he'd refuse and continue on XDA.

What about performance?
How does the stock updated Nook home compare to CM10 on SD? Which one is faster? Lag? other differences?
I'm interested to see the GPU performance on the HD+. Can anyone show me the HD+ running something like Blitz Buggy or Into The Dead on youtube? I'm very interested in this tablet, at the $179 pricepoint, but I need to know that it can perform first.

I ended up going from Hybrid to straight stock, partly because I accidentally factory reset my CM10 install rather than stock when setting up the update, but also to escape the need to reboot back and forth. I like stock for magazines, but was doing everything else in CM10, and half the time when I picked up the tablet it would be on the wrong OS for what I wanted to do. The worst shortcoming of stock is lousy multitasking without ICS/JB Recent Apps. The stock Recent Apps only seems to register apps/media launched from the stock home screen, which I tried to like but ultimately found too dumb to live.
I accidentally turned off my HD+ when it was downloading the 2.1 update. Now when I boot into stock, I can't get the device to update again. In device information, it just shows the device is updating, but nothing happens. What can I do now to update to 2.1 via OTA?
Also, I'm running Hybrid cm10, is there a way that I can boot into stock without removing the sd card?

To boot into stock without removing the SD, when the cyanoboot logo comes up hold the n key, it will boot to stock.
Unfortunately when you interrupt the download or flash, it thinks it is completed and will not try again. I suggest you download my plain 2.1.0 stock zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. You should be able to flash that with the Hybrid CWM since the zip is hard coded to install to emmc. Do not do any wiping with it though, as it will wipe Hybrid instead of emmc. Just flash is all you need to do.

Running stock coming from CM10 on SD card. Have Apex installed and it is running smoothly. I am rooted with the Extras installed. One issue is that the Nook Video doesn't seem to want to play my UV movies. They start but just sit there in the buffering state. I got VUDU sideloaded so its not that huge of a deal.

I agree with you about stock being too limited. I have been running stock exclusively now since the 2.1 update was installed. I just wanted to see if I could get used to it. I have to admit that I like it a LOT more than the older versions. There are some highly annoying things about it though, which may send me back into the arms of CM10(x).
One of the things I don't like is the inconsistently placed back button, and the fact that it sometimes Disappears entirely as in the stock email app. The only way out of there is the nook (home) button. And the recently used apps is also not nice.
I'm not sure yet but I am getting close to deciding to go with 10.1 on emmc. Just giving myself some time with stock to see if there's anything I'll miss. I like the magazines on stock but haven't been using it for that, so I'm not sure I'd miss it. (I do have a couple print subscriptions that I also get on the nook, but I can probably live without)
I guess the only other thing I need to do is compare the stock nook reading app with the regular nook for android and see if I'd miss anything there. Also, does anybody know if there is a nook magazine reader for android that could act as a replacement for the one on stock?
I just find it amusing that on the same day we got this much more usable stock ROM, we also got the ability to completely remove it from our devices and replace it with CM on the emmc. I wouldn't be surprised if by this weekend I'm running straight cm10.1 on the emmc. Stock still has just a little too many annoyances for me to be completely happy with it. I don't want to "settle".

My Nook Color was running the stock rooted 1.4.2 and tonight I decided to install CWM from Rom Manager and backup the rom so I could install CM10. The install of CWM through Rom Manager went well but when I did the backup it rebooted and now I get a black screen after the Read Forever screen.
I've tried the 8 interrupted boots which has worked for me in the past but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried t use a bootable sd card - uNooter, per the CM10 wiki instructions for Nook Color here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_encore
I know it's pretty hard to brick this thing, but did this actually do it? Any suggestions?

Just follow the directions and then once it's re-flashed I did a reset by holding the n and pressing power. It'll boot back into stock.
Now that I was able to get it back, I just need to find proper directions for installing CM10.
