I have a NSTG with Tweaked Modded ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2651053&page=4.
How could I revert it back to stock, cause I have an issue with charging and I intend to send it back to B&N.
Thanks
I would use NookManager. One of the options is to restore to factor settings.
I am in the same boat. I pressed the two lower buttons while booting to restore the factory image, but that just made CWM the default boot. I have no idea what I did to cause that.
For me the problem with the new rom is that ADB Wireless does not work and there is no source available.
I edited build.prop for use in the US my booting with Nook Manager, using that wireless ADB and then mounting internal partition 6 to /media and using nano. (The on-screen keyboard kept blocking what I was trying to change when I used the text editor.)

Okay first of I am a noob, I know I am, but i'm just experimenting with different things atm.. If you don't want to read my story you can skip to the bold text
Basic I had Froyo JPO.
Rooted it using z4root (Didn't know any other method)
Then applied OCLF Lag fix from the market.
Then I fancied putting the Doc Froyo custom rom on my phone
So I removed the Lag fix,
Backed up using Rom Manager,
Installed CT-Root thingy-majig to bring my Recover from 3e back down to 2e so I can run unsigned update.zip's.
I also installed clockworkmod recovery.
But something wen't work with the flash, (Probably when I modified the framework-res.apk for a custom notification bar) the phone freezes in black screen after I turn it on and it passes the boot animation of the 'Galaxy S i9000'.
I can still boot in recovery though.
So I need to put a update.zip from my computer on to my memory stick but when ever I use the option 'Mount USB storage' from the recovery menu, nothing happens. Only options are 'unmount' or 'go back'. /mnt/sdcard is set to 'mount' but my PC doesn't recognise anything?
Do I need special drivers or something? (Bearing in mind I've used Odrin * Kies before fine)
How do I get the Mass Storage to work?
Thanks guys.
Ignore my stupidity. A factory restore sorted it out straight away.
Why don't you boot into recovery and do a factory reset? Since you have already backed up your ROM.
Hi, first post. I've searched for similar threads/questions but haven't found any.
I ran manual nooter 4.5.6 on my nook running 1.2.0 and was quite happy with it. But so last night I powered the Nook Color down and when I powered it up this morning it gets as far as the "nook color" colorized screen animation and then boot loops. I've seen other folks have this problem (posted in the dev forum in the manual nooter 1.2.0 thread) but no solution offered other than "restore to stock and re-root it".
While that's do-able, I was wondering what data gets wiped out in the 2nd part of the flashing to stock process. Is it possible to just do the first part (8 boots, restore to stock 1.2.0) and keep the data (books and music that I have on the onboard memory)? or is the data-wipe an integral part of restore to stock? does the userdata get wiped during the software update part anyway?
I don't care so much about having to reinstall apps and configuration etc etc (although if there's a way to get it booting without flashing to stock and I just haven't seen it, please let me know), but the data's a pain right now...
Help or pointers would be appreciated
You probably have the issue where Flash was auto upgraded, a know problem.
I had to start over, making sure Flash wasn't set to auto update, and proceed from there.
Not sure if this will help or not but when I plug my nook into my computer I actually get 2 icons come up in my file manager program, one for the sdcard and one for the emmc.
I would think that you could copy the files you need from the emmc to your computer, then after you reload and reroot you could copy them back to their respective folders on the emmc.
Not ideal, but better than nothing.

I've been a very happy Nook Color user, running CyanogenMod 7 from
the internal SSD, until yesterday.
Now, my NC will reboot after, at most, a few minutes of use. The problem's
something to do with holding the unit and/or pressing the buttons -- if I leave it
on a flat surface, cabled to my Linux box, I can run adb shell for hours.
I want to send it in for repair, and I want to restore it to stock before sending
it in. Given the NC's fragile state, I'm concerned that I might brick it
during the restore to stock.
Using Clockwork recovery to restore to stock seems risky
-- my Nook could easily reboot while pressing the buttons,
or while flashing the ROM.
How much, if any, of the restore process can I drive from adb shell?
What are the commands that clockworkMod Recovery actually runs?
I'd like some help working out the safest way to get this NC back to stock.
Thanks.
If you have images of your device prior to installing CM7... you can use the CWR boot to dd the images back to your nook... if not there's really not much worry about it rebooting during the process... make a uSD with CWR on it... you will alway be able to boot into that if you have to.
Use a bootable SD card with CWR 3.2.0.1 or higher, wipe everything like when you first installed CM7 and then install this stock ROM (1.3). It will bring you back to stock. I had to do the same thing not long ago....

It really is the best way. If you get stuck, just keep trying....
Hi, folks! I'll post this question here just in case I can get more help, as I've run out of ideas, and I've read all the threads on the specified subject, but none have helped. If it's against the rules, then Mods, please delete the thread. If not, Thank you.
The Problem:
I recently upgraded to CM7.2 Mirage-KANG- from Phiremod 6.2. The Nook was running great until I tried to upgrade to the ICS/CM9 nightly from here. The Nook would refuse to boot. The only way I could get it to boot was with an old CWM sd card I'd used to root it in the first place. I figured I could fix the boot by wiping the /data, /system, and /cache files from the Nook. Bad move. That just made things worse, as now, the Nook doesn't even load from the SD Card anymore unless I hold the "n" key and hold the power button.
I tried restoring it to to stock 1.01 to possibly start from scratch, and all was well, until it was time to register it. It wouldn't let me, even while on wi-fi. It would give me an "error has occurred, Nook will now Power Off" message without weven loading or anything. Upon further inspection, I checked the properties tab by accessing the wi-fi menu and saw that the model number and unit I.D.(I think) were "unknown" and in red letters.
Presently:
Since then, I tried everything from the Autonooter to the Monster Recovery Pack and nothing works. The Nook, without the Micro SD loaded, shows the Cyanogenmod7 logo loading, then goes black, though the backlight remains on. With the card, it goes straight into CWM. It sometimes doesn't boot into anything at all.
Extra Info:
I'm using a Sandisk (4) 8 GB card for the rooting and such. I normally use the 16 GB (4) model.
So my question is:
What can I do from here? Can/should I go back to the beginning as a Stock Nook 1.0, or is there a better, wiser alternative that I can use to get the Nook booting into CM7 or higher normally?
Any help'd be greatly appreciated.
Did you try following the directions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
Yeah, as a matter of fact, I tried the exact same directions on both those pages, and used that exact CWM 3.0.2 img file to install the Nook 1.01 file.
From there, my Nook boots up fine, gets past the "n" logo, but once in the setup, won't register because it's serial #, Model #, and Mac Address are "missing", and won't let me past the Setup Menu.
Update: I managed to flash Stock 1.0.2. to the Nook. Upon booting it up, it prevented me from registering the Nook, until I figured out the factory mode method to bypass it, and used Autonooter to root.
Now I have a dilemma: I want to ditch Stock and jump to some sort of CM7, but Stock won't allow me to reboot into CWM at all, even after having flashed it through Rom Manager or flashing it to EMMC.
I know there's a way out, I just don't see it.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I would assume you already have CWM on a SD card. Drop your chosen CM 7 zip onto the card, boot into CWM recovery, choose the zip and install. Same should work with ICS zip but you shpuld prolly avoid it until its in more stable shape.
Hey all!
I've been admiring e-ink even before it came out. This is why I finally purchased an old NST with Glowlight for damn cheap.
Now, I rooted it using:
noogie.img to mount the internal memory on the pc
a rooted uRamDisk image with USB adb
The device still wasn't rooted, so I downloaded an exploit. Which worked fine.
It has firmware version 1.2.1.
Now, eagerly, I've removed a very few system apps which seemed useless to me.
Yep, I've been stupid.
The Nook is now stuck in a boot loop. I see the "Nook" screen with the five "loading dots".
When I long-press the power button, it just reboots.
When I do "reboot -p" through ADB, it reboots.
When I remove the battery and put it back, it reboots.
It doesn't even turn off!
I wanted to:
mount the internal memory with noogie
mount my recovery img on the laptop
copy all system apps from the image to the nook
Or just reflash it with the recovery.
Yet, the system gets into this reboot loop, which would mean it doesn't even have the time to mount the SDcard, does it?
As attachment, the logcat. Full of errors.
If someone could help a dumb person, that would be nice
Thank you
Ps: It's my first post! This forum helped me a lot!
Something is screwed up with Relaunch.
Delete it and install something else.
There are many ways to unbrick touch, search the four subforums.
Then root with glownooter or similar
Update to firmware 1.2.1
Install kernel #166 by guevor
You might want to install nook touch hard buttoNs modmanager to reassign them
To back up:
Install CWM (bumped the thread yesterday), backup (has 2 internal & bigger external to sd), copy system backups to PC
I also use Titanium (see my thread: listing of my apps, version no.) To Backup my system data & apps, backup to PC
Super Manager also backups, but only apps apks.
Thank you !
I've already uninstalled Relaunch through adb. Problem remains.
I'm going to follow your instructions
unbrick:

Hey!
Actually, the key combination for factory reset worked. I tried it before, though.
Thank you for your help
