[Q] heeeeelp!

I rooted to cm7 following a fairly thorough guide online. Once booted up I was met with a ton of pop up errors also I couldn't download anything from the market, I'd just get pop up errors. I figured I'd let it go for a little bit and try to find a fix tomorrow. Then I noticed I didn't have any back buttons like I've seen in videos which makes browsing next to impossible.
So then I tried to load a different cm7 which did nothing. Then I tried to start over and followed a guide to boot back to nook software which stuck on the load screen. Then I tried a different cm7 download loaded to the same thing I had with all my things where I left them and even more pop up errors.
I really wanna use this nook rooted but I've seemed to have hit a brick wall. If someone could give me some step by steps of what to do with it from here I'd be forever greatful.

Are you using the newest clockworkmod, version 3.2.0.1? Did you thoroughly wipe system, data and cache prior to fresh installs?

and Davlik

I'm unsure which version of clockwork I used. It was whatever was in the link in the instructions. As far as a wipes concerned the instructions had me format system, cache, etc. Other than the wipe of nook software it doesn't appear that any other wipes have worked. Would you mind linking me to a proper wipe and whatever else you recommend?

You have to use 3.2.0.1 recovery. You can boot into recovery and find out the version. Sounds like you did the proper wipes (formats). What's the link to your instructions, which ones did you follow.

i followed these instructions... woops cant post a link. On youtube its titled "How to Install CyanogenMod 7 on the Nook Color (PC Version)" by huskermania
as soon as i booted into cm7 i was met with process errors and unable to download anything or change options. also no nav bar at the top or bottom.
I think I'm understanding the basics of how this works to do it again i just need the right files and i need to know how to wipe it clean to start over. it seems no matter what kind of wipes i try it still boots back to the same cm7 and wont let me intall over that.
your help is much appreciated.

Look this thread over. I watched the you tube video and I am almost sure their clockworkmod version is different. Sounds like you have already burned an image once so doing another one should be no big deal. Try to follow this thread exactly and you should not have any problems. Good luck.

[Q] Error flashing CM 7.1 on NC

I downloaded CM 7.1 stable for my Nook color, and when I go to install I get an assert error with a "status 7".
I've done a lot of flashing of ROMs on my DX, but I'm wondering if there's a step I'm missing. I've pretty much just done the usual routine for flashing a new ROM:
- nandroid backup
- wipe cache,system,data,dalvik cache
- flash ROM zip file
No luck for any ROM I've tried. Anyone know what I need to do to get this to work?

Go over the steps in my sig. If that's no help check out the links in it particularly eyeballer's and mrg666's.

Thanks, I'll try it out. Why don't the official CM7 and MIUI builds work?
Are there other Mirage Kangs I can try out? Any good ICS ones?
Thanks again,
Mike

Also, I'm assuming if I have CWMR already installed I don't need the boot SD, correct?

Same problem. I get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "encore" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "encore"
E: Error in /sdcard/download/encore_CM72_MiRaGe-06082012.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Does this mean I have to do the SDcard boot?

In theory you could put any ROM in place of M-K you wanted but if you are wanting ICS I would install using one of those instruction threads. All I was suggesting was that you go over the basic steps I outline to make sure you weren't missing anything.
And yes, it sounds like something got corrupted and you need to start from scratch. I would at this point. I always look at it as time to flush the old and try out some new.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A

So, I tried unrooting and doing a stock recovery, then using a boot-sdcard to flash any number of ROMs. I still get the same error.
At this point it seems something is fundamentally wrong. I tried several options on the flashing, nothing seems to get around this error.
Is there anything else I can do here?

When you say you were able to do a stock recovery, what did you mean by that? Were you able to flash a stock ROM to emmc with recovery? Or did you do an 8 failed boot reset?
Also, what version of CWM are you using?
The problem you are having is the install zip cannot verify that it is flashing to the correct device. If it can't find that 'encore' in your properties it will abort. I'm not sure where that property is stored on your emmc, but the zip is not finding it.

I did a factory reset from the nook settings. Is that not sufficient?
I'm using CWM 5.x (don't have it handy to check, I can get the exact version if needed).

No, you'll need to either flash the original version of your firmware or do an 8+1 reset.

Keep listening to leapinlar. Nothings broke beyond repair and he's teaching more than you in this thread.

Emmc means embedded multimedia card. It is basically an SD card built into the Nook. It is where all of your internal information is stored. It is partitioned into 8 partitions to hold various kinds of information, like the system files for your ROM, and data that is specific to your installation (application settings, your login info, etc.).
When you did the factory reset it cleared the data info, but not the system info. That is good if you want your stuff off, but it does nothing to the system files (including the root files). So someone else could put their info in and yours will be gone.
Somewhere on one of those 8 partitions is info stored that tells the zip you are an encore. (It's 1, 2 or 3, I just don't know which). The zip is not finding it. That could be because one of those partitions is corrupt. Or the data could just be missing.
If you truly did a factory restore, like flashing a factory zip to emmc, then the info might come back.

OK, thanks! Looks like I've got some homework to do.

I also think I had modified some of the system info when I originally rooted this thing. It's not my device, and now the owner (much father in law) wants more than just a rooted device, he wants the full tablet experience. And I like hacking someone else's device.
Long story short, I'm learning quite a bit here, so thanks...

Try looking here (post 148). It is a Stock Rom zip for 1.4.1. Try flashing that with your CWM. Use the first one. It still has an assert statement in it so it may also fail, but it is worth a try.

status 7 error
I'm on and a nook tablet and I'm trying to flash 7.2 stable, I already have CM7 Alpha on the nook which the install had gone smoothly. I tried to use rom manager which gets me to clockworkmod but I get the same error - status 7 when trying to install the cm-7.2.0-encore.zip that I downloaded from cyanogenmod.com.
I've tried downloading it a couple of times, I've tried a bootable sd card but I still get status 7 when trying to install. I've followed the install guide cyanogenmod's wiki to the letter but I cannot get past that error. Anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Right now I'm back to CM7 Alpha.

It's because you are on a Nook TABLET. CM 7.2 is for a Nook COLOR. They are completely different devices. If you want to brick your Tablet, keep trying to install this!

mikecico, are you sure you are on a nook color? They look almost identical, but the nook color has a black bezel and the nook tablet is silver. Like I said in my post above, they are different devices and that may be why the zip is rejecting the install. It's doing its job.

I just did a check on the model number, BNTV250. It's a tablet.
Sorry for the noise guys. I think he had told me it's a NC, and I used a NC root method successfully, so I had assumed that was correct.

[VIDEO] Idiot's Guide - How to Install CM10 on the HP Touchpad

This is my FINAL VERSION of my Idiots Guide for the HP Touchpad. Now that a stable enough version of CM10 is available, I finally created a guide for you.
Here are links to the files you will need:
CM10 03/04/2012 Build
GAPPS 10/11/2012
ACMEInstaller3
Moboot 3.8
Anything else that you might need, you'll find on http://www.reverendkyle.com

Thanks for the video. It came just in time as I just purchased a used TP that had an older version of android ICS already on it and I wanted to upgrade but seeing as how this is the first device I have sort of inherited already rooted, it is hard to just jump in and know everything that I would have learned from the beginning like i did with my previous phones.
Anyways, I did everything you said except I used the newest AOKP rom. But my tp is still booting to the older version of android that I had on it. Any ideas? Feel free to pm me if you prefer that.

If the AOKP ROM is using a unique uImage file, then you may see two different entries on your moboot screen for two different Android builds.
What does your moboot menu have in it?

Maybe your install failed. Try downloading and flashing it again. If you're trying AOKP JB, you should wipe both /data and dalvik cache to avoid a boot loop!
If using AcmeInstaller3 remember to rename the ROM with ”update-” at the beginning so that it looks like update-AOKPJB_UnOfficial.zip

I believe it was the "update-" thing that was keeping it from updating. I followed another video tutorial which provided files that had the "update" in front of them and it worked.
I haven't tried yet but now that it worked will the regular method of wiping and flashing through recovery work? (Like, if I want to try out different JB Roms) Are there any files that need to be in a particular place for the recovery method to work? I tried that method first and it would never take, would always revert back to the original version. Don't know if, because I just jumped in and haven't been here from the beginning, I am just missing a necessary step that is hardly even talked about anymore.

Love your work Rev! Thank you again for everything that you do!
Update went like clockwork, unfortunately I can't seem to get the camera to work (not a terrible loss, but I was sorta excited to see it actually working with this release).

I can attest to the improved battery life on this cm10 build. Amazingly, it holds battery life when it's sleeping now.

Thank you so much for taking the time in making the video for us. Your instructions are easy to follow, hard for anyone to mess up.
(The hosting site for the files is not working, not sure if you were aware)

Hi, I have CM9 running on my TP. With the latest release, the camera works great. But before updating it to CM10, I'd like to know about the issues currently in this build.
Thanks.

Where does one go when the goo.im site appears down, to get the needed files? Mirror somewhere?

Don't go for external mirrors unless some recognized developer suggests them. Best will be to wait for goo.im to come up again, being a prime site, it won't be down for long.

The goo servers do appear to go down on occasion. They always come back up a bit later.

Problem with installing GAPPS using ACMEInstaller3
Excellent tutorial for an idiot like me. Thanks for again for the guide! Question:
I followed the instructions step by step and was able to get CM10 installed successfully. However, I wasn't able to get GAPPS installed using this method. From researching I understand sometimes there is a problem installing GAPPS through ACMEInstaller3 and one can simply get GAPPS installed through CWM Recovery. However, I would like to use/have TWRP instead so is there a way to get GAPPS installed properly through ACMEInstaller3 and then I can install TWRP through GooManager?
Alternatively, is there a way to install GAPPS without using CWM Recovery?
Or, I guess I can install CWM Recovery first, then install TWRP Recovery, then remove CWM Recovery while keeping TWRP and not go back to the stock Recovery? I tried to search the forums and wasn't able to find instructions on removing CWM Recovery WHILE still keeping CM10 and not go back to the Stock recovery.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

@reverendkjr - appreciate your videos. they're awesome. definitely helped me (and several other friends) many times and saved a ton of time. super easy to follow.

Yes you can install TWRP normally, flash gapps in CWM then install goomanager app, open and click the 3 dot menu and install custom recovery script then it will install it
Now using a root file manager go to the directory called boot and delete uimage.cwm.img (this is from memory but still should be correct

[Q] Nook Color 1.4.2 refuses to boot to SD

I have followed every SD boot guide on this forum, and watched countless videos on how to do this.
I download the generic and/or CWM IMG, I burn the IMG to a class 4 SanDisk SD card. I copy over the ROM and GAPPS zips. Put it in the powered down Nook and fire it up. Nothing. Not a god damned thing.
I need someone to explain it to me like i'm 5 cause I am clearly not capable of getting this to work. What really pisses me off is that I had this thing rooted way back when I first got it, but have recently restored to factory settings. So I know its been able to boot to SD in the past.... I don't know what could of changed or how to undo it.
Any and all replies appreciated thanks.

[Q] How would one wipe NC emmc & install CM?

So I have been searching for roughly 4 hours a day, for 4 days now I can't find anything regarding the wiping of the emmc on the NC to install CM. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
My NC is not rooted & no longer under warranty so I think it's safe to do this. What are your suggestions?
Thank you.

Need root ?

So does the NC need root to overwrite the emmc? Leapinlar's post
User Tips gives a hint of this possibility, but I am uncertain as the post is referencing stock roms in A15.
I also tried the CMUpdater as I am currently running 10.1.3.2 from an SD card, but it did not take as the post mentioned it should. Perhaps I did it wrong as I needed CM running in order to access the CMUpdater so I need the SD card in the NC, which prompts the question for root.

If you are running CM from SD you cannot use cmupdater. That is for emmc installs only. Follow this guide to install CM to emmc.

Ahh, YES !!!, Thank you very much.
Upon reading this, I have another question; from my research about CWM, I take it v3.2.0.1 is formatted for the NC? I also have a Nook HD+ and I used CWM v6.0.2.8 on it ... or do these all work the same? Anotherwords, in say, 2 years from now can I use CWM v6.0.2.8 to update the NC from CM10.2 to CM 11 or put the stock back on it & sell it ... (pfft, a frivolous question, no need to answer, I am just curious as eyeballers post is two years old)?
Thank you again for pointing the way. I've spent the week searching, four hours reading this link & researching all the possible outcomes I need to look forward to & how to combat them (including your reformatting partitions issue) and spent less than 20 minutes executing it all. No hiccups by the way, it went smooth as silk.

The CWMs for the different devices operate similarly but are not compatible with each other. You need to run the version made for your device only on your device.
But if you want a newer version of CWM for the NC, I have two on my NC tips thread linked in my signature.
