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?
My system started as a 1.3 NC, that I successfully rooted using nooter, but a year ago last Oct ( 2011 ) and OTA update removed my rooting. After a couple weeks, someone posted a "fix" that restored my root access, but also bocked the OTA update.
A few weeks ago, I screwed up and mistakenly tried to install a Android Market update, and it BROKE my system. So I desided that this was a great time to update the NC to it's current OS level ( 1.4.3 ) and tried to follow the instructions on restoring the NC to "factory" fresh state... but thats where it started to go wrong!
Using the clockwork recovery sdcard I used to root the system, it FAILED to erace / format the Data area, probubly because I "fixed" it when I had the problem over a year ago with the OTA update.
Now no matter who's instructions I follow, I can't get that data section deleted so I can restore the system,
What I want to do restore/update the NC to current level, and THEN to reroot.
Currenly, the ONLY way I can use the NC is with the newest N2A image on a sdcard, but there is a huge speed penalty that way!
Can ANYONE help!
Thanks in Advance!

Yes, I can help. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item A10. Then go to my item A15 and download the CWM flashable 1.4.3 and install per the directions there, wiping also per the directions.

Did as suggested, created the card ( CWM-6.0.1.2-bootable_SD ) and loaded the "nookcolor_1_4_3_signed.zip" onto it.
Was successful in formatting the system , boot and cashe AND the Data directory! Restarted CWM and was able to run the 1.4.3 zip completely. Rebooted from CWM menu after removing the SD card from the NC....
...but now the NC hangs at the "N" screen.
So, what did I do wrong? What next?

First off... a HUGE Thank You!
It looks like it's back to my pre-rooted NC.... so, if I understand this correcly, it's NOT rooted, and I still have to do that.
Any suggestions of the best rooting utility?
Again, thank your for all your help!

Hi leapinlar and tomsheeley,
Due to 10 posts rule I cannot reply to eyeballer's thread (I'll send him a pm instead). tomsheeley might try TWRP 2.3.1.0 after he root his NC as more friendly. Today I tried to upgrade to TWRP 2.4.1.0 available in #129 post. The problem I had with fixing permissions was solved by deleting the folder emmc/TWRP using a root explorer (I use Root Browser Lite free from market).
The problem is common I think with SGS+ and I found it by watching this thread.
Thanks and sorry for posting here but watching that you are posting in fattire's thread and I think my feedback might helps.
Right now all I can get to on my Nook is CWM through CyanoBoot. Does anyone have a flashable stock zip that works with CWM 6.x? Everything I've found either has dead download links or throws "Status 0" errors at me when I try to install them. I want to give my Nook to a friend and she hates Android, so I need to get it back to stock.

Your problem is that 6.x CWM (probably 6.0.3.1 from ROM Manager). None of the older zips will work with that. The solution is to make a new bootable CWM SD that does work with the older zips. Go to my NC Tips thread inked in my signature and look at item A10. It has links for the older CWMs. It also has a link to a current stock zip that can be flashed with those older CWM SDs. See A15.

Ha, makes sense. Lol I hadn't even turned on my Nook in a year, got a Xoom and never touched it again. First thing I did when I turned it on last night was update CWM. Didn't occur to me that the old zips wouldn't work with it. I've downloaded all the files from your thread now, I'll try it when I get home. Also, I was wondering if my epub library will work on stock, anyone know? I've got over 6,000 retail epubs, I've been building a collection to put on it before I give it to her.
Just bought a used NC; old user messed with ROMS; how to get back to "square one?
I just bought a used Nook Color. The previous owner messed around with ROMs, rooting and bootloaders. I don't know what version of bootloader/recovery/rom/whatever he had. Only thing he told me was he had it "dual booting" the original Nook OS and Android.
I would like to get back to as stock as possible so that I have a fresh start to install clean roms with. I'm afraid that if I start flashing stuff right now, I might have some older/newer version of something other than what I flash requires.
Any way to do this?
Thanks!
First remove the SD and boot without it. If goes to stock, you don't have to do anything. It should be ok. He was using the SD method of dual booting.
If he was dual booting so that everything was on internal memory (both operating systems), which is rare, then you need to go to my partition repair thread and flash the zips there before re-installing stock.
If it does not go to stock when you removed the SD, go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item A10. Then use that to re-install stock per my item A15.

Thanks for the reply! I removed the SD card, and it looks like it's stock to me. Only thing is when I boot to recovery, I get what looks like ClockworkMod Recovery. Is there any way to get EVERYTHING back to stock? I'd like to go install something like CyanogenMod to the device, so I get a full-android tablet. I'm worried that I could screw up something though if I try following their instructions with anything other than a plain vanilla system.

Just use that CWM recovery to flash my stock recovery zip from my NC Tip thread. But before you do that, boot to stock and go to settings and do an erase and deregister so it removes your friend's data and registration. If he already did that you do not need to.

I've spent hours at this now, and Im kind of wondering if my Nook Color is damaged in a way that it allows CWM to think it's written an image to the EMMC but it is actually failing to write anything.
I still have cyanoboot on the device, it still goes into Cyanogenmod boot screen and sits there indefinitely OR it reboots a couple times and gets stuck loading infinitely.
This is AFTER I have tried imaging it back to stock, CM 11, formatting it's partitions with the images on this site and various other things.
So either there is something common in all these tasks Im just blindly missing each time I try this and read/watch another tutorial that doesn't work out for me.....or something is wrong with my the Nook Color.
Can't even do the 8 failed reboots thing Im ASSUMING because the cyanoboot thing is there catching all the failed attempts.
Hadn't used the Nook Color in awhile because my wireless router died and it was kinda pointless to try to use it...now got a nice new router and the damn Nook is making me want to strangle it. So it was in some state other than stock, and I really don't remember if I was trying something new or if it worked fine when the router died at this point. I am just trying to get it to some point where it boots into some kinda of OS so I got some kind of baseline to start from at this point.
So ideas? I can get more specific if need be on what exactly I tried if it seems relevant, but I pretty much pulled the images and guides off the various posts referenced all over the net back to this forum. Hoping I missed something, going to be rather upset if this device is essentially dead since I haven't used it a whole lot since purchase..
First off, make sure you really have a Nook Color and not a Nook Tablet. The Color has a black bezel and the Tablet is silver. If it is a Tablet, the files on this forum will not work.
If you really have a Color, you need to explain more the steps you have taken to try to revive it before we can help.

It's a Nook Color, I've actually rooted and put it back to stock over a year ago. But even the methods I used then will not remove the Cyanoboot or whatever version of CM it's trying to boot into that never goes anywhere.
I've tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759558
To see if it's a partition problem AFTER I tried to rewrite the boot/etc to stock and CM 11 with no luck.
Even went to Youtube to make sure I Was getting the proper screens and responses from the device.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUEoFPApfeQ To try to restore it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj_DGZaKwBw To try to put a different version of CWM on it.
Used this link for GApps http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps, I tried the "small" version along side CM 11
Tried using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22809801&postcount=148 to try to restore it to a Nook Color rom.
Tried following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653483 Which is a collection of help postings on the Nook Color....havent had any luck with anything on there.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=encore&type=snapshot is where I got my images for the Nook Color Cyanogenmod. I used M12, with no results.
And while Im posting all the stuff I used.... I had http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50438799&postcount=4 opened if I ever got it to boot into CM to use for further issues....maybe it'll help someone else.
And I can't tell you what order I did them all in at this point because I tried and retried different things. And I still have cyanobootloader coming up, if I select EMMC recovery it goes to what looks like a barnes and noble original screen to me and says "Install failed". If I let it do the standard EMMC bootup it just loads forever.
I HAVE NOT tried to load a bootable SD with the OS, etc on it because I was trying to get the device to work properly on the EMMC first. But if that is something that needs to be done to fix it, I can do that if you point me in the right direction. I'll even try to use ADB on it if I can get some kind of guide to it...most of the ones I found were no longer valid /missing links and other things with just a few random command lines but no images or anything to use and I didn't want to risk screwing the device up even more.
Thanks.
The reason you see "install failed" when trying to go to internal recovery is because you still have stock recovery installed on internal memory.
And after you did the partition repair and you want to install CM11, you must upgrade your recovery to v6045 or newer before flashing the CM11 zip.

Is this referring to the CWM version on the SD card, EMMC or both? I used some of the premade images for booting and they were all older versions of CWM.
I believe I attempted to use "cwm-6.0.5.0-encore-emmc+sd.zip" when I attempted to install CM11. If it wasn't that one it was "cwm-6.0.4.7-encore-signed.zip". It was CM11 Snapshot M12 with gapps-kk-20140105 since it's smaller than 20140606. It did the blue text scrolling install of both, autodetecting gapps and installing it. Then removed both from the SD card when I did it. I didn't catch any errors.
I have not been able to get the Nook Color to enter the CWM version on the EMMC to verify it's version number....but this may be because Cyanoboot is catching it or Im doing something wrong.
If I were going to describe this problem on a PC, I'd say it was pointed at a corrupted boot device and ignoring the one you're trying to use in it's place.

Blue text scrolling means you are trying to install to SD, not emmc.
What are you trying to install, emmc or SD? If trying for SD, you are using files made for emmc.
If you want to go back to stock, go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and use an older version of CWM to flash the stock zip from item A15 there.

Really Im just trying to get what's on it, replaced with something that is functional so I can tell when Im doing something right or wrong.
I will attempt to do this again and try to document it a little better. I would like the EMMC to be functional at the very least no matter what version it ends up being... I will attempt stock again from your guide which I thought I did right the other night but Ill try it again.
OK.
Using:
NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip
TWRP-2.1.8-bootable-SD-encore.zip
nookcolor_1_4_3.signed.zip
I imaged the TWRP img onto an SD, copied both zips onto it.
Put it in the Nook Color, powered on and I saw the cyanoboot, then it loaded into TWRP.
From the install menu I installed the format partitions zip. It ran without errors. I wiped the cache/dalvik.
Then went back into the install menu and ran the nookcolor_1_4_3signed.zip. I see this:

Tried a different micro sd and used signed version 1.4.1 stock.
Did same steps. It errors, but as soon as it errors, it's like the TWRP resets real fast and gets the blue boot screen, flickers a couple times then rolls back and away to show the buttons again...takes 30 seconds or so.

I don't know if they mean anything, but something similar popped up in other attempts. I am rebooting device now to see what happens.
Going to EMMC 01 in top left of Cyanoboot screen....blank screen...waiting.
Cyanomod rotating load screen comes up. And if it holds true, it'll do this until the battery dies.
I don't think the stuff is being written to the EMMC. Which...maybe it's damaged or maybe there's some kind of lock out in place preventing it that needs turned off?
If I can get it running off an SD I'll be happy at this point...perhaps it'll be easier to tell if the EMMC is screwed up then.. If you are out of ideas or think it's damaged. Only reasons I can think of since it's been sitting for a couple months is was kind of near a speaker and I know magnets can damage HDs but really strong magnets can fry phones and stuff....so might have gotten the EMMC in some weird way.
Or some sort of power surge got it when I had it plugged in before I stopped using it.
Did you try my partition repair zips from my partition repair thread linked in my signature?

Yes I tried 1-4-5-6-7-8 and the separate 2 one. But if you want me to try again I can.....any specific version of CWM you want me to use?

I've always liked the v5504. If the repairs do not work, something is wrong with the NC.

I figured.......I'll try it a little later and see if any luck with the repair partition zips..but I doubt it.
Meanwhile, I should probably get you to point me to some SD images to see if I can get it to boot up into CM something and work successfully off the SD card.
I'm hoping I can find a way to fix the EMMC once Im able to successfully boot the device....or even with ADB. I dunno. Pisses me off since I never used the Nook excessively and took pains to keep it safe.
Oh and I saw people asking for specific partition repair files (like unique to their device), does that sound like a possibility here?

Go to my NC SD installation instruction thread linked in my signature to install CM to SD. I recommend CM10.1.3 from the CM site.
You can also put stock on SD. See my NC Tips thread, item B11 in the second post there.

So using 5504 of CWM with your partition repairs did nothing...still has cyanoboot and infinite load screen.
Working on SD installation now base on your recommendations.
Is there something you can think of that could be done from the SD boot to diagnose the EMMC more? It doesn't seem like there's really anything coming up on google even remotely similar to my issue.
And I've done this once with a much larger SD card but it had kind of **** transfer speeds so it might be defective... So Im repeating it as I type this.
Generic-sdcard-v1.3......rev8c.zip is what I used to image the card.
Then I used CM-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-encore.zip
and gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
The device ran through all the blue text and turned itself off. Loaded up with Cyanoboot going to SD01 and then it would blank screen for awhile and reboot...and repeat itself.
Now this one just error with not enough space on google apps, but Im going to see if the thing will even attempt to boot up.
Then Ill try your recommended version of CM...I already had all these images and was just hoping to see some results after all this.
OK. Some kind of success....
I actually got it to boot up using your rev8c, CM 10.1.3 and gapps-jb-20130301
BUT it gives TONS of popup errors....I was able to get through the setups somewhat. But once it's at the desktop...
I see
Unfortunately, Email has stopped. ----- Press OK then I get
Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped. --- Press OK, back to email.
I can kind of get into the settings and stuff, but with the continuous errors popping up it's hard to do anything productive.
So I'm going to let it sit and see if you have any input on that. I find it weird that it loaded with this version...but not the other.
As soon as I got it connected to the wireless network, a couple errors popped up, screen flashed and it went back to the cyanogenmod loading screen WITHOUT rebooting.
I don't even know what information would be useful at this point, lol.
