I have a Nook Color. Somehow (and I really can't recall how), I can no longer get to the B&N side of my Nook. Even with the micro-SD out, I still go directly into CYANOGEN. To make matters worse, every single app I try to get from the market will not download. Once I 'Accept & download', the app starts to download then I get an Error overlay screen: "name-of-software" could not be downloaded due to an error.
So I have a V--E--R--Y generic tablet that can't do much. Please help.
Thanx in advance...................................
How did you go about installing CM7? Did you install it to the internal storage?
Please help!!! Noobie messed up NC (big time)
That's part of the problem. I did not consciously install to internal memory, I wanted it to boot from the SD card.
That's what I did...
That's what I did once. I unwittingly installed it onto the internal memory. It also happened to be really buggy. I restored it to stock using Clockworkmod Recovery. Did you use the installer for the SD card?
On a 16GB microSD, I used Win32DiskImager to write 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer to a newly-formatted SD card.
I put the ZIP file for: gapps-gb-20110828-signedgapps-gb-20110828-signed, and gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.
I tried the home-power key combo. It asks me if I'm sure that I want to restore to the factory. I say "Yes" but when the Nook starts up, I'm still in cyanogen mod.
Should I (re-)format the MicroSD, write 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer (or another version) then move recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.1-encore?
Aside from not being able to get back to B&N-supplied software, I can't do anything with the NC as an Android tablet.
OP, do you intend to install CM7 into the internal memory?
All I'm trying to accomplish is to get back to the factory NC settings. Once I can get there, I'll decide.
How to hard reset and Factory Default Nook Color - http://goo.gl/pSFui
Power down your NC. Wait approximately 10 seconds or so-- just give it a bit of a break between shut down and factory reset.
Press and hold power button and your "N" home button almost simultaneously-- press Power first and then the N.
Hold these until your screen flashes the "Touch the future of reading" message; hold for a second or two afterward, then release. You will then get a prompt asking if you want to reset your nook to factory. Press the home button to continue. It will ask you to confirm. Press the home key again. Your nook will deregister, reset, and when it reboots, you will see "Kate" in her tutorial video, as if you'd never registered it in the first place.
(Obviously your account info will still be valid-- simply register with your email/pw combo instead of creating a new account.)
Hope this helps- if so please click thanks
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I did this (more than once - grrrrrrrrrrrrr!). I never see the "touch the future....." message. Instead, I get a cyanogen mod 7 screen with the message "Booting into Recovery". Then I get a sickly yellow-greenish screen that asks (twice) if I want to teset. I confirm both times then it "wipes" the data. It then boots into a cyanogen mod 7 screen (and the skateboarding 'droid) and I go through the registration process.
Now, when I select a Google app, the downloading (Google Maps) seems to be taking forever, but at least I'm not getting the error I got before.
Also, I do not see the progress of the download that I'm used to seeing on my phone. All I see is "movement" under the "Downloading..." message. How long do I leave it before I abort the download?
Your micro sd card is removed right?

Eyeballer is a clockwork recovery bootable SD image which is used to install stuff (e.g. CM7) to internal memory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
VeryGreen (size agnostic thread) is the SD image which creates a full OS on the SD card itself leaving the internal memory alone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
You have used the Eyeballer method and have therefore done an internal install. You must also have installed a CM7 zip not just the gapps zip as they are just google apps and not an actual ROM.
You have 2 ways forward.
The simplest is if you want to end up with internal CM7 and are not interested in running the B & N ROM. Start again by creating the Eyeballer SD card using win32diskImager. Make sure you use a real USB SD adapter and not a card slot on a laptop. Put onto the card the CM7 ROM zip. I recommend the one from the KANG MiRaGe thread in the development forum. It is the most up to date and stable version available at the moment. Also put on one gapps zip (20110828). Now put the card in Nook, Power up and when in recovery then use the menus to format system, data and cache. Do NOT format boot. Then flash the CM7 ROM zip, then the gapps zip. Power down and prepare a clean SD card either by reformatting the eyeballer card with something like the HP USB card utility or a partition manager in the PC like miniTools. You could also use a different SD card if you want to keep the eyeballer one for future use. Put the card back in, power up and you should now be in a stable CM7 environment where you can set up wifi, register with the Google market and download apps.
The second way if you really want to return to stock on the internal and run CM7 of the SD card then use the eyeballer method but instead of flashing CM7 and gapps you now use a return to stock zip. Make sure you still format the partitions as before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Once you have it back to stock and upgraded to whatever stock you want then follow the VeryGreen method from the link above. Once the SD card has put CM7 on itself, do not worry that there is only a 114MB space if you ever put the card back in the PC. That is normal; it is just the boot partition that the PC sees. The rest of the card can be seen if you USB connect the Nook to the PC.
Yes it is. Also, even though I'm not getting an error, no apps are loading.
You absolutely rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm back at the NC "baseline". I tried to go back to a 1.2 (which is what it came with) using "update-nc-stock-1.2-signed". Once I re-booted, it kept returning to the NOOK COLOR screen. Then I used a 1.0.1 from your last post. It came back fine with 2 exceptions. 1) I now have a message that I need to install a SD card. When I do, my (Windows Explorer) "Computer" screen only recognizes the SD card and not the Nook. These are piddly little issues, but if I can get them fixed, great! (Right now, I cannot upgrade the NC or move any books or load any apps.
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had this same problem. Since I am a new member, and can't post links, I'm going to try to help.
Install Clockwork Recovery to an SD card. Yes, the same way you did when installing clockwork to the SD the first time.
There are some threads on other fourms (google is your friend) that have links to Update files that allow you to update while keeping clockwork recovery, and some that will remove clockwork recovery. If you can remove the SD card and boot into the Stock Nook OS, then don't worry about installing 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 like some of the forms say. Just place the .ZIP file of the hacked update (usually 1.3 or 1.4 I think) into the root folder of the SD card, then Install it on your NC just like installing CM7 onto the internal memory. Your nook should start working again. It restored mine to full functionality. I can now pay 3 Dollars for angry birds, but at least its not as terribly slow and laggy as it was with CM7.

I had the same issue last weekend, somehow my internal memory had become unrecognizable to anything, and the local Barnes and Noble store had a SD card that repartitioned the internal memory, and I was back in business. And as an added bonus I now have the 4 GB app/BN partition and the 1 GB mostly useless partition.

The instructions I see when googling around where I see that image mentioned are instructions for installing onto the Nook Color internal memory.
In the simplest case, making an n2a card is much less complicated than that ~ all you need is on the PC, write the size agnostic image, then drop in the CM7 build you want to use, then put the card in the Nook and it creates itself. There are upsides and downsides to different n2a methods, but that one seems to be the easiest ~ I've done it successfully several times, and I'm certainly nothing like an expert when it comes to these Android systems.
A recovery card image will make a bootable recovery card ... and while that might not have been what you needed to get what you want, its what you need to get the nook back to stock.
You might want to go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22809801&postcount=148
... to get a version of the 1.4.1 upgrade that your recovery card can install. You'll probably have to wipe all sorts of partitions, which means you'll have to sign in with the B&N store again and you'll get to download you B&N apps again, but that's pretty straightforward.
This OP in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10623716&postcount=1
... says that it will be necessary to format ("wipe") the /data and /system partitions, but it doesn't seem like you'll lose anything you want to keep. After all, you've either overwritten or completely tangled up your stock B&N info.
That post above has 1.4.1. There should be a signed 1.4.2 lying around somewhere, but if not, once its back to stock, you can update to 1.4.2 the normal way, download the B&N update file, drop it in the root of the Nook, make sure its at least 30% charged, and let it go to sleep, which will run the update file.
Hi

Also I followed all steps to create a bootable SD card from the 1st source
but unfortunately I am unable to boot nook color from SD card, hence I am not able to root my nook color
Please Help.
usually when this happens there is an issue with the SD card. Reformat it and start again.
Additionally... if you are using an internal SD reader then try buying the cheapest USB reader you can... far too many times this is the issue writing the images to the cards.

That is GMPOWER's ManualNooter thread. If you are running stock 1.4.2, you do not need to do a wipe beforehand. At most, you'd need to do a factory reset via Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device. If you're running an older firmware version, you can reset using the same procedure.

That describes the "8 failed boot" reset method, which is another way of doing the same thing. If you can get into Settings, you don't need to do this.
Follow the other suggestions for your problem creating a bootable uSD card.
I just bought my Nook Color a couple weeks ago. I had 1.4.2 and I'm using a cheap $6 sd card. Use ManualNooter to root it. All the links for this stuff have already been posted in this thread.
On your computer
- Download and open winimage
- disk > restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive
- flash the clockwork img file to the SD
Use the one for your sd size. I had a 4gb card so I used 4gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1 (there is a list of them)
- Once complete drag and drop Manual Nooter 5.02.19 and Apps2SD Stock Kernal onto the sd
Plug the sd car into your nook and turn it on. Once you get to this point you should be able to follow the directions on the regular manual nooter page. Which is something like.
- Wipe all data, cache, ect.
- Install zip from file - ManualNooter #___
- Install Apps2sd file
- Take out sd card, and reboot
- Done
Then from there you can install other roms the same way you installed the manualnooter zip, or use rom manager
just an FYI... you do not wipe data when using manual nooter... preferred method is wipe... download your content... root with manual nooter
Unable to root
I've read multiple threads on different forums and can't find a solution. I'm trying to root a nook color 1.4.2 and install CM7.
I've tried 2 different micro sd cards, made them bootable with windiskimager, using an external card reader, downloaded the files more than once in case earlier ones were corrupted, no go.
The nook has been reset to factory. It will not boot from the SD card. every time I try it just boots normally.
Any suggestions?
Mine and my wifes nooks were older versions and I had no problems rooting and installing CM7. This one belongs to a friend and I'm about ready to throw it out the window!
Check the device information to make certain it is in fact a Nook Color and not a Nook Tablet... we'll go from there.

It sounds like your using win image wrong. Make sure you have the correct clockwork file. My card is 4gb so I'm using 4gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1 and you load that with winimage. Then you drag and drop the manualnooter and apss 2 sd file.
I'm almost positive that it's a nook color. I did a reset, so I'll have to get my friend to sign back into it to check. I was using a 2gb card with a 1gb image. Most threads state that doesn't matter, but I'll try the 2gb image. After burning the image I was then copying the other necessary files straight to the card.

Hey
have the glow version for two weeks, and want to try rooting it, probably with the glowNooter method which seems simple enough.
this is my first android device so i'm not familiar with what might be common knowledge for most. (noogie,uramdisk,CWM etc.)
first thing i want to make a backup, but i got a little confused -
there are three relates threads -
1) back\restore by jocala, which instruct to boot with noogie, but the link to nookdevs is dead
2) n2T-Recovery by ros87, states it works until 1.1.0, and mine is 1.1.5
3) clockworkmod based recovery by mali100 which states it does not include some partitions and links to the first one
so - which method is recommended, and where can i find the instructions for it?
thanks in advance
grab the noogie image from the mirror that nookdevs points to - one of their links is to a file at multiupload, and I don't know but wonder if multiupload and megaupload were taken down with the same crazily overdrawn US paperwork?
Write the disk image, boot from it, and make a backup once booted via noogie - you'll get all the partitions and be able to reimage if you need to.
Is there a reason not to upload noogie to mediafire?
backup successful
thanks!
if anyone else having trouble -
I used the instructions from both jocala thread and nookdevs' Rooting/Manual wiki page, the noogie.img is also available to download there.
roadkill's disc image had an error writing the noogie.img to the SD card, so i used WinImage instead, which worked fine.
after booting the nook from the SD card and connecting it to the computer, i used roadkill to read the 1.86GB partition to the backup image file, and checked it's size to be 2000683008 bytes.
i didn't see the partitions from "my computer" (should have?), but they showed up in roadkill as a physical disk.
thanks again
question about the glowNooter
solved
Yikes! Last night I was moving some files via adb wireless into the root directory of my nst (bad move for a newbie).
Now my nook will not power back on or anything. I've taken the battery out and plugged it back in. Nothing.
The screen is stuck on "Your NOOK has turned off completely" message.
No matter how long I hold the power button, nothing happens.

Well, yes, but it's not a big deal. It's fixable.
You need something on an SD card, Noogie, Clockwork Recovery, one of the Nooters.
I'd use Noogie on an SD card and copy your backup to the internal SD card.

I found a file called "SalsichaNooter.img" and wrote it to my sd card via winimage32.
Am I on the right path?
If so,what should I do with it?
That's to say, you don't have a full backup?
The important thing is to always make sure you have a copy of the stuff on the mmcblk0p2 (/rom) partition.
That has all the stuff that is unique to your Nook.
There is also a backup copy on mmcblk0p3 under rombackup.zip
There's a lot of ways to get out of this situation.
I mentioned the Nooters for completeness.
I've never used one and I don't know a lot about them.
My preference would be for putting Noogie on an SD card,
looking at the internal SD card boot partition over USB and copying what's broken from the software update for 1.1.2

Well, the Nook is a composite USB device.
It shows up under "Android Phone" or whatever.
It also shows up under USB Mass Storage devices.
It should get a drive letter.
If it doesn't, go to Disk Management and futz and give it one.
Then use Win32DiskImager to write your backup to it.

I presume that you've tried all sorts of long pushes on the power button, 30 seconds?
You may be in that state where it needs the battery disconnect and reconnected.
Some have had luck with waiting until it discharges itself dead-dead.
OTOH, some got in this situation from doing that.

Should the screen go totally blank when it's dead-dead?

Removing the battery for 20 minutes made no difference.

I'm trying to get anything to work
Neither flashing noogie or clockworkmod to my external sdcard via win32diskimager caused my nook to come back to life.
I do know that my battery is good since last night it had over 90%.
No matter what I've tried, nothing causes my nook to show up in my device manager.
I only briefly see a message about "OMAP 3630" failed to install drivers.
The OMAP 3630 popups when it tries to boot off the USB.
That means that something that you have has a good mlo and u-boot.bin in the boot partition.
Whatever is after that is broken.
I would guess that your SD card is not written correctly.
It's a VFAT, look what's on there.
Is it the first (and only presumably) partition?
Is it marked active and bootable?

Hip hip hurray!! Finally, I got sd_2gb_clockwork-rc2.zip to create a bootable sdcard.
I was then able to boot into cwm.
However, my card did not have enough space to put my noot_touch_backup file onto the card.
Also, the internal nook drive still is not showing up on my windows computers.
My card has about 1.74 gb left of free space.
Do you have any ideas on where to go from here?
Oh my goodness!!
I used win32diskimager to restore my nook_touch_backup file to my sdcard...then i rebooted and my old system is back up and running!!
I have no idea why, but I'm scared to turn my nook off again.
ok , i was have the same problem "kinda" , well follow my instruction hope it works with u
connect ur nook with ur computer for 15 mints .... or more .... between that there's a screen will show to u that ur nook cant power on ..... also ....tell me what led show to u "green or orange"

It does not exist.
Tinynoot works for glow and non glow firmware 1.2
It includes minimal apps, so you will need to know how to use adb to install apps.
The latest version of NookManager will allow installation of apps from the Amazon Appstore without using ADB. This is your best bet for rooting FW 1.2.0 right now and it is a very easy, menu driven root method. (See post 2 in this thread for the link.)
Make sure you get a good backup of your Nook first. The easiest way to do this is to write the NookManager image to a 4GB SD card, boot from the card and use the backup option of the tool.

will a 2gb sd card do? OR a 4gb card is necessary?
2gb card should work. I rooted using nookmanager yesterday and made a backup with a 2gb sd card
Will 10gb work? Sorry if it sounds too silly. :crying:
Thanks guys, you are great.

I used Win32DiskImager.exe trying to write NookManager.img to my 16gb but didn't know I had to run it as Administrator. After "Write", the SD card became unformated. I went ahead and now the SD card became 64mb.
I have Windows XP Prof and tried Disk Manager and Diskpart without success.
Anyone knows how to get my SD card fix?
XP doesn't have any tools to reformat SD cards.
Try: MiniTool Partition Wizard (Home Edition)
SD Card became 64 mb

The SD card becomes 64mb because there are now two partitions on it. It is meant to be like this after installing nook manager on it. Windows will only see one though if connected directly to the PC. You need to put it in your nook and connect the nook to the pc with the usb lead. You will then see two drives, one with nook manager on it and one with a back up of your original nook image, if you did one!
To format your sd card you can use SDFormatter. Just search for it. If you do this though it will wipe off anything you have on it, especially any back you have done.
Thanks. I finally found HP USB Manager to reform it back to 16gb.
I found one weird thing is Win Imager really doesn't like my 16gb SD Card as it always does is to make it unformat and then force it becomes 68mb. Anyhow, I used NookManager backed up but can't find a file for the backup. Does anyone know where it is sitting on SD card?

Win Imager is working properly. The unformat is probably just that Win Imager doesn't properly inform windows of the partition table change on the card. Once Windows manages to get the new partition table loaded (e.g. remove and reinsert the card) it then sees the 64MB partition that was written to the card. See my post on the NookManager development thread for a little more info and how to get your backup off the card.
