Reboot into recovery, flash CWM 6.0.4.7, then reboot into recovery again to flash CM 11

Is there another way to flash it besides using SD card?

Just copy the 6047 zip to internal memory, then use the 5504 to install it from internal memory. No SD necessary.

ok i tried that problem is when i got into recovery mode it only give me two options normal emmc and internal emmc recovery, the other options are unable to select internal emmc alt, sd normal, sd recovery, sd card alt. Any ideas on how to make the options available?

You are talking about the cyanoboot menu, not the CWM menu. I was talking about the CWM menu.

You need to explain better what you want. I thought you just wanted to update your internal CWM 5504 to 6047 so you could flash CM11 without using an SD. What has cyanoboot menu got to do with that?

Then just do what I said in my first post in this thread. Find a copy of the 6047 zip made for internal memory, copy that zip to emmc sdcard, boot to 5504 recovery and choose install zip from internal memory, and install that zip. Then reboot to recovery again and it will now be changed to 6047. You can use that version to flash the CM11 zip the same way you did the recovery zip. All without using the SD. And the cyanoboot has nothing to do with which version of CWM you have.

That is the cyanoboot menu, not CWM. Choose internal emmc recovery and then you will be in CWM. Then choose install zip followed by choose zip from internal memory.

Similar problem
Hello LeapinLAr:
I also have a similar question.
Currently I have CWM Recovery V3.2.0.1 i EMMC01 and CM 10.1.2
I would like to upgrade to CWM version to 6.0.1.1 .
I tried to copy this zi file to SD card, run emmc recovery and tried to update from SD card. It did not and aborted the update.My impression was that it could not update from version to 3.2 to 6.01. Am I right in my assumption?
Could you please explain the steps , so that I can successfuly carry it out? I have got more confidence in tweaking these things ever since
I did a successful rooting of NOOK Color.
I have other question on setting the clock speed etc to run at optimum speed ( I read yesterday from the forum that it runs better if clock speed is at the minimum, but does not explain how to do that0.
Thanks for you great posts and help.

Where are you getting that 6011 CWM zip? It sounds like it is a version for a different device. Go to my NC tips thread and get a version 6012 from there and try installing that.
And the clock speed is set in settings, performance, processor.

Why are you opposed to using an SDcard? You could save yourself a lot of frustration by using one.

Idk, maybe i was just tired. I was able to successfully flash flexreaper ics. I guess my only concern now is my backed up roms dont show up in rom manager, running v 5.0.0.6. Any idea why? (cwm is version 5.5.0.4, if it matters)

Rom Manager is a phone app. I'd advise not using it for the 500/501. Unless they changed something in the past month, you could really wonk up your tab.
Check your Ext SD card. You should have a folder called Clockwork, which contains your recovery backups. (unless you already formatted your SD card)
When you make a recovery (either CWM or RA), you should boot to the recovery, and do your recovery backup/nand backup from there. NOT through Rom Manager.

No firmware to be loaded? HELP!

Hey fellas,
I have a big problem. I wanted to wipe the sdcard of my transformer and fresly reinstall a ROM by RaymanFX. Now, after wiping the sdcard and a factory reset and cache wipe I chose 'reboot system now' in CWM and nothing is booting now. I still can enter CWM 6.01.4. Hybrid by RaymanFX but I cannot mount the sdcard or emmc and thus flashing via external isn't an option either. So I tried the flash-tool Easy Flasher in order to flash a official ASUS firmware, but this does't work either. My Windows x64 laptop recognized an apx-device but after rebooting nothing happens.
I'm really lost... :crying:
Use PERI to install a different recovery. Then external and internal sd will work nicely

So I tried to update my wife's nook color from cm7 to the latest cm10. I had messed up the partition layout before but she would never let me try to fix it, so I was trying to re partition it to the 1/5 set up. It will not read the SD card, either within the ROM or in recovery. I was able to get the repartition files to what the ROM thinks is the SD card but it won't flash. I tried to reboot into recovery to flash the reformat zip and it is now stuck in cyanoboot. It will not boot into recovery, ROM (CM7), or a boot able SD I made.
What are my options?
Force a factory reset and start over? I've never had luck with the 8 failed to boot method.
Thanks foe the help

You need to use my bootable CWM card found in my tips thread linked in my signature. It has been modified to boot in these circumstances. Then go to my partition repair thread and run those zips. It will take you back to 1/5.

I gotta say, you guys here in the NC forums are the best. Thanks form the quick reply
**edit**
So I got it up and running, just one little issue. It gets stuck at the bootloader screen and it wont boot into recovery. I can get it yo boot into the sd recovery and flash/backup whatever I want, and then reboot system. But it won't reboot recovery from cm10 or cyano boot menu

Do you mean to boot to internal recovery? There is none there after you did the partition repair. It wiped everything. And if you put a CM rom back on it, that does not put any recovery on it, just the rom. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and there are several recoveries there to put on emmc. I recommend the 5.5.0.4 version for emmc.

"or reboot into the rom". What does that mean? You cannot get the new flashed rom to boot? Or did you mean you could not get it to boot to internal recovery from the power menu in CM10? If the latter, try installing a different recovery to internal to see if the twrp install corrupted somehow.

[Q] Rooted Nook, but no recovery... How to fix?

I just bought a used Nook that came loaded with Cyanogenmod. I want to install a clean and newer version of CM, but it turns out that this Nook doesn't seem to have Recovery setup on it... I can boot to a bootable SD and install the new, clean version, but I want a built in recovery. I can't see to figure out how to get recovery directly on the device though... Can someone help me fix this?
Go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and look for the CWM recovery for emmc zip and flash that with your bootable CWM SD. I recommend the 5.5.0.4 version.

[Q] caught in loop of clockworkmod recovery 3.2.0.1

where can i get a zip file to let me escape this recovery loop?
If you keep the bootable CWM SD in the slot it will always boot to it. Did you remove it and try booting?
If it still boots to CWM, go to my NC Tips thread and follow section A15 to get back to stock. Don't forget to flash the format zip also. That should get you out of the loop.
