[Q] My NC lasted all of one day.

Well day one is over and I think I might have the first bricked NC. I used CWR to flash this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932211
I kept getting a keyboard input error and it never worked correctly. I've been reading nonstop through the forum and now my NC won't turn on.
I look through the thread again, only to find out that it is locked and in red letters it now says "just keep away from the SDcard formatting option in settings." Anyone want to guess what I did before I read that? Yup, I formatted the SD card through settings.
It says to use a certain file to flash boot again but I have no idea how to do that if the thing won't even turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't post in the thread because it is locked.
MY NOOK IS ALIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Not sure what all I did but it's up and running again. I started with the partition file mentioned in the closed thread. I then did a full restore to 1.0. This then lead me to a boot loop with the grey N screen. From there I re-rooted and it almost loaded. After that I did the power +N button and it reinstalled 1.0 for me. I have since rooted the NC and am leaving it as is until Cyanogen comes out with their ROM.

you made a big mistake by starting off with that flash to emmc rom. You should have started with rooting the original firmware.

If this doesnt work use my fool proof guide here:

I rooted the NC using Huskermania's video on YouTube. I should have left well enough alone but seeing all the videos of 2.2, I wanted it as well.
Thanks you for the link. I plan to follow every step later in the day, after get some rest and relieve some stress. My only worry is, will the Nook turn on after I pop in the SD card and how long do I hold the power button before I give up?
I'm familiar with rooting and flashing phones, I am currently running CM-6.1 on an Evo and a Hero without any problems. Before that I messed with everything from the PPC-6601 to the TREO 800W.

try this:

maybe it's like the root sd and you just need to let it run without any on screen indicators. you could pm him and see if he can offer any help.
good luck.

So I've read through everything and when I installed the SDK I had issues with my PC and getting the drivers to load. I didn't install them and went straight to flashing it, so no matter which guide I followed the driver install failed.
I'm now on a Mac and I'm installing the SDK. Any advice on how to take me from step #11 and on.? I can't seem to be able to find the Windows button fo some reason.

hi -- assuming you still need help, this CWR bootable SD saved me many times.
download this file (I think you may already have it)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2248236/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img
so open terminal in your mac and insert the microSD card into an sdcardreader or adapter. If you want to be extra safe open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in Applications and erase the SD card.
then in terminal:
$ diskutil list
(figure out which /dev/disk# is the sd card)
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#
$ dd if=/path/to/that/img/file/froyo-eMMC-0.2.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m
(then wait an inordinate amount of time when terminal won't tell you anything and you think it is not doing anything... for it to image the sd card)
when it is done, it will tell you XXXXXX files in 0 files out
remove that SD from your computer and put it back in -- it should show up in finder as "Boot" and check to make sure a "restore to 1.0.1 zip" is on it -- if not, let me know, and I'll link you that file as well. You can just copy over that zip to the newly imaged SD card if it isn't there.
once you've got that SD card imaged with the complete-restore-1.0.1.zip on it as well, make sure your nook is unplugged and powered off -- I assume, just hold down the power button for like 10 seconds just to be safe. Put the microSD into the microSD slot and plug the nook into the computer -- that tells it to boot from SD.
you should enter Clockworkrecovery at which point you need to navigate the program with the vol up vol down power and home buttons (power is back, home is select) and go to the mount option and reformat system, then data, then boot. It always freezes on me after reformatting boot, so just power off and back on and it should return to CWM. Then go through the steps to flash that recovery zip that is on the sd card! Make sure you select "select zip from SD card" and you should be good to go.
good luck.

Dummy Guides for SD Card CM7 on Nook Color

I keep seeing SD card rooting questions. I'm providing a link to some guides that describe in gory detail how to get CM7 up and running on an SD card (for both MAC OSX and PC). These guides are built off of verygreen's size-agnostic SD card thread and he deserves any and all credit. All that I (DrAstro) and DrWho have done is expound on the easy-to-follow steps that he provides from the perspective of trying to teach someone who is only mildly computer literate.
http://clubnook.com/forum/showthread.php?953-Rooting-Instructions
If this helps, go to verygreen's SIZE AGNOSTIC card thread and give him thanks.

I've just copied and pasted directly from Clubnook in case people don't want to link over there. If this is useful for you, comment and I'll keep it updated. If not, just let it fall into the ether...
CM7 - SD Card - Mac Version
INSTALLING CM7 (CyanogenMod 7/Android 2.3) ONTO A MICROSD CARD FOR USE WITH NOOK COLOR
Thanks to DrAstro for the following instructions:
I used the instructions from verygreen (who deserves any and all credit):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1000957
I did nothing other than follow exactly what he said to do and was up and running with full android market access in about 10 minutes (with a 5 minute nap in the middle!). It was literally that easy. I’ve just expanded, in gory detail, on the basic.
Basically, what you are doing here is taking a microSD card, making it so that the nook color can boot from it, putting a new OS on that card (CM7) and then adding the android market. At the end, you will be able to run a more tablet-like experience from your microSD card without doing anything to the internal software that BN put on there. Here are steps, with heavy borrowing from verygreen’s guide. Hopefully you will read and understand what you are doing, so that you can pick and choose which OS zip you want to use.
NOTE: These are mac specific instructions, as that’s what I used!
1) Downloaded the following files and put them on your desktop:
generic-sdcard-v1.2.1.img.gz
(http://nook.handhelds.ru/sdimage/gen...-v1.2.1.img.gz) - This file makes your SD card bootable. This is probably the “hardest” part of the process as you have to “burn” this image to the card, not just “drag and drop”
update-cm-7.1.0-RCO-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip
(http://coachz.inetpro.org/~dalingrin...32-beta3.1.zip) – This is the latest beta version of CM7 that was available at the time I did this! There may be some instability, but they fixed the battery issues with this release so the tradeoff is worth it.
Or get the latest stable version update-cm-7.0.2-encore.zip
(http://tinyurl.com/3vyanhh)
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
(http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...Latest_Version) – This was the latest google apps version that was available when I did this. It will give you access to the android market!
2) Get any microSD card that you don't mind trashing the data on. There a LOTS of options out there, but I would HIGHLY SUGGEST getting a SANDISK, CLASS 4, 8 GB or 16 GB card. It is by far the most likely card to work well for you.
Also get a reader for your microSD card. I got one that plugs into my USB port and lets me see my microSD card on my desktop.
3) The first step is to install the .img file to the microSD card. First, you need to double click it on your desktop and let mac osx unzip it for you. It should do this nicely and your resultant file will be:
generic-sdcard-v1.2.1.img (i.e. the .gz at the end will go away)
To install the .img onto the microsd card, put the micro sd card into your card reader. It should pop up on your desktop as a disk. Mine was called “no name”.
To write the image (called burning the .img file to), you need to do the following:
-Find which drive the sd card is mapped to. To do this on mac, you can use the terminal:
how to open the terminal:
a) Go up to the magnifying glass in the top right of your mac.
b) Click on it and search for the word “terminal”. The first thing it finds should be a little black box with the word Terminal.
c) Click on that and a window should open on your desktop. That window should say something like Terminal – bash – 80x24 in the top line and then have a bunch of words, maybe something about Last login: and finally a line that ends in a dollar sign $. Here’s where you will type in your commands.)
Inside of that terminal, after the dollar sign ($) first, type:
cd Desktop
That will take you to your desktop. If you now type
ls
This should show you a list of all the files and folders on your desktop. All the terminal does is let you work with files using text commands rather than a nice graphical interface (i.e. clicking on windows and stuff)
Now that you know a couple basics on “terminals” type this:
diskutil list
This lists all the spaces on your computer where things are stored. You need to unmount the microSD card that you just plugged in. This will allow you to erase the card and put what you want on it. You need to look at this list and figure out which drive# is your microSD card. To the far right, you will see the disk size. Your microSD card should be around that same size as what you bought (for example, I’m using an 8GB card and found the disk that was around 7.5 GB).
Once you know the right disk (mine was disk1, yours may be different) unmount that drive by typing this:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk<#>
(to be explicit, my drive was disk1 so I typed: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1)
It should say: Unmount of all volumes on disk<#> was successful
Next type:
dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.1.img of=/dev/disk1
Everything needed should copy right over to the card. It took my laptop 140 s.
Now unmount the microSD card, but NOT the same way as what you just did. How? Remember when you connected the microSD card and a folder popped up on your desktop? Right click on that and select “unmount”. Note, it might be the case that the folder was renamed “boot”. If that’s the case, that is the folder to unmount.
After the microSD card disappears from your desktop, remove your microSD card from the laptop and plug it back in. The folder named “boot” should pop up on your desktop. Now the easy part.
Drag and drop the file:
update-cm-7.1.0-RCO-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip or update-cm-7.0.2-encore.zip
Into the “boot” folder. Now right click on the “boot” folder and unmount.
Take out the microSD card and put it into the nook color. Turn the nook color on and it will boot. A little penguin might pop up followed by lots of techie looking things flashing on your screen. That’s fine. Keep an eye open and when its done, the screen will go blank. It should turn itself off, but probably won’t reboot. You need to hold down the power button for around 8 seconds to turn it back on. It will reboot into CM7.
(note: This is updated from prior CM7 installations (i.e. these instructions are specific to installing the CM7 beta). If your unhappy with the performance of the beta, you can install a CM7 version that’s labeled as “stable”. The stable versions occasionally need to be turned off manually (i.e. by holding down the power button for 8 seconds)).
You’re almost there. You should have a homescreen with a few icons. Find the one labeled “settings”. Open this up, go to Wireless & networks, and connect to your wireless network. Now CM7 is ready to go online and you can turn off the nook color and install the Android Market.
You need to turn off the nook color. Take out the microSD card and connect it to your computer again. This time, two folders will pop up. One called “boot” and one called “sdcard” or something similar
This time, drag and drop:
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
into the boot folder. Now comes the second hardest part, booting into recovery. The process depends on the version you are installing.
If you are installing the beta version I reference above then put the microSD card into the nook color and boot into CM7. Once you’re in CM7, hold the power button until a menu pops up and choose to “reboot”. Choose to reboot into “recovery” and you should be all set.
If you’re installing one of the “stable” versions, put the microSD card into the nook color and boot to Recovery Mode. In order to do this hold the nook N key and press and hold the power button for ~5-6 seconds. It may take a couple of tries. The screen may turn off a couple times. You may boot into CM7 a couple times. Eventually, with luck on your side, you will successfully boot into “recovery mode” and google apps will be installed. Once you manage to boot into recovery the screen will flash up lots of techie text, similar to when you started CM7. It should go blank when this is done. At this point you can turn it off by holding power for around 8 seconds. Turn it back on, follow the screen instructions and you should be good to go with an android tablet with the full android market, all running from your microSD card!

Setup Wizard stuck?
I actually got this working on the first try a couple weeks ago and it was fantastic!
I was able to play netflix and flash for the first time, and now my dad wants me to do his nook the same way. He has a 16GB sd card though, and the original instructions didn't work on >8gb cards. I can't just image his SD card to my SD card because I couldn't get my google account to de-register etc, so I started from scratch with my card and planned to image to his before configuring any user accounts.
I'm having repeated trouble with my retry attempt though
Basic CM7 install with the generic-sdcard-v1.2.1 and update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1 (the ones recommended as of today in the instructions)
I set up wireless access, shut down, and backed up my card at this point.
Copy the current 20110307 gapps to the boot partition, eject, put it back in the nook, boot into recover (I've gotten good at this), it installs, shut down. Back up my card again as I figure this is where I'll want to start the other card.
Back to the Nook, boot up, get past the CyanogenMod scateboard screen, and it goes to "Setup Wizard". This should be for setting up the Google Apps Marketplace account I think, except it's completely black except for grey bar across the top with "Setup Wizard" on it, and the bar across the bottom with menu/back/search/battery indicator etc (these do nothing).
I can press power button and get only two options: shut down the tablet or reboot the tablet. I can rotate the nook and the UI changes orientation. Nothing else does anything as far as I can tell.
Anyone else seen this problem? I've searched, and even tried to post to the dev thread, but I can't due to low post count.
Help! (and thanks in advance!)

*.gz img file not recognizable & not zipped
Hi. I rooted my Nook with Autonooter and love using it. YouTube and all work fine, but I would like to redo with CM7. I have all that I need, except I'm caught with the img file this time round. It has an extension .gz. Win32DiskImager does not recognize it. Some sites say that it needs to be unzipped, but it's not zipped. I hate being stuck before even beginning. I hope that you can explain why I'm having this trouble. TY!

The .gz file is just a compressed .img file.
There are a number of Windows apps that can de-comress the file, for example: 7-Zip
Martyn

Hi Martyn, Thanks again. Now, DiskImager is coming up with an error when I try to write. It says that there is not enough space on the disk. The unzipped img file shows to be 117megs, while my SD card is 16gigs. After I got the error, I chose to format the disk but have the same error. Do you mind to help again?

I saw this suggested: "I did a full format (not quick) and used WinImage to write the SD card instead. Works every time since then," by TL Jester here. I"m just curious why there always seems to be a roadblock.

I had this same problem, i discovered that it created a partition on the sd card... I had easeus partition master home edition, which i used to resixe the partition and you can see your full 16GB then.

I had an error message like this too. It turns out it was because I was trying to use the internal card reader in my laptop. I bought an external USB card reader, and it worked fine with the same card.

Ditto, same problem, same solution. When you write the image to the card it seems to create a default boot partition of 117mg. When I tried to put both the rom and gapps in the boot partition after writing the image, I got that message (but not every time). So I made the boot partition bigger before adding rom and gapps, using Easus. I increased it to 150mg or so, that was plenty.
One time image+rom+gapps barely fit in the boot partition, and while installing I got an error that said not enough space in disc. I redid it, making the partition bigger, and it worked. I think the installation process may temporarily use some of that boot partition space.

[Guide] Rooting the NC, Installing Custom ROMs, Re-partitioning, etc.

Rooting the NC, Installing Custom ROMs, Re-partitioning, dual-booting, un-bricking, burning SD cards, Theming, etc for the Nook Color!
This guide is aimed to help anyone (from Newbs to old Android veterans) to get their fancy new Nook Color up and running to their liking. Note that most of this was cooked by ROM devs, not me. So go ahead and thank them for it.
Re-partitioning the Blue-dot NC​
You may have purchased a new Nook Color, and looked on the box and said "Huh. I wonder what the blue sticker is there for?" Well, everyone should go check in their boxes right now. The blue-dot Nook Color's give you 5 GB for apps (like anyone could fill that much space up! Normal apps are between 50 KB and 1 MB) and only *gasp* 1 GB for your own data. (Books, Movies, etc). This also messes up everything to do with rooting and flashing ROMs. If you don't have a sticker, you don't need to follow this part of the guide. Skip to rooting. To those who do, to go back to the classic Nook Color partitions, you must flash a package through CWM. Todo this, you will need a microSD card. A cheap 1 GB will work. Once you have the microSD, download this to your computer. Then simply follow these instructions to burn an SD card:
Windows Instructions:
1. Download Win32DiskImager.
2. Insert the microSD card into your computer. You will need a microSD card USB adapter for this. DO NOT USE THE NOOK COLOR FOR THIS! Open up Win32DiskImager for Windows. Then in Win32DiskImager select your sd card. Make sure to have a backup of it as this erases it.
3. Select the file to write and browse for the downloaded CWM image from earlier. Select it and then OK. Hit Write. Once it says it's done, your Done!
Mac Users (If you are on Linux you'll know what these mean on Linux because anyone who runs Linux has a knowledge on computers)
1. Open up Terminal & Disk Utility
2. In Disk Utility, select your sd card on the side pane and then hit Command+I. Somewhere in the popup there should be something like "disk3" or "disk5". If you get "disk5s2" read it as "disk5". Take note of the number, not the "disk" part.
3. Go back to Terminal. Type:
Code:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX
Replace X with the number you got from earlier.
Then
Code:
sudo dd if=xx of=/dev/rdiskX bs=1m
Replace xx by dragging in the downloaded file into Terminal. replace X with the number from earlier. Here is a sample command:
Code:
sudo dd if=/Users/Steve/Downloads/cwm.img of=/dev/rdisk6 bs=1m
<-- Note that there is no space between the = and the path to the file.
It will then prompt you for a password, the Admin password. Type it in (I'm assuming you know it, if not ask your parents and tell them this is important) Nothing will show that you are typing, to be secure, but it will type. Then hit enter. Wait until until you see the username on the left again. Done!
-For both Windows and Mac users-
Once that is finished, eject the sd card from the computer. Put it in your Nook Color. Turn off and Turn on the Nook Color. You *SHOULD* see a Loading screen. If not try the instructions again. Then you will be greeted with a yellow+black screen. Take the sd card out and hit the home button. It should reboot the Nook. If not, hold the power button until it does. Put the sd card back in your computer. Then download this and put it on the sd card. Put the sd card back in the Nook and then reboot the Nook. Again, loading and then yellow+black screen. This time use the Volume- to move down the menu, and select "Install zip from sd card" Hit the home button there and then select "Choose zip from sd card" using the home button. Find the zip you downloaded and put on the sd card. Select that, then select "yes". It will flash that and then you will be back to the menu. Hit the power button and then select "reboot system". Now you should be ready to get on with the rest of the guide.
Rooting the Nook Color (Stock)​
Everyone want to do whatever they want with the Nook Color. They want to copy files, install Android apps, get a better browser, etc. The only snag is that B&N doesn't let you do that by stripping the Android OS of most of it's features, making it a trivial eBook Reader OS. Well, Mr. Root is here to change that. Now enough of that stuff, let's root your new Nook!
1. You must know the OS version of your Nook Color. Todo that, hit the arrow at the bottom and touch Settings. Go to "Device info" and then select "About Your Nookcolor" Under software version you should see a number. For most, it will be 1.2. If it is anything under that, go ahead and upgrade your Nook using the official B&N method:
The ver1.2.0 update is available over the next week as an automatic download that will roll out to NOOK Color customers connected to Wi-Fi®; or to get the software update right now, follow the instructions above for manual download. (Don't manual update. It's a pain.)
If your NOOK Color is registered and has Wi-Fi® connectivity (Wi-Fi® should be turned ON and connected to a hotspot), your device will be updated over the next week.
The process will take 4-5 minutes for a manual download (depending on your Internet connection). You should NOT turn your NOOK Color off while the new software is being downloaded. Once the software update is completed, your NOOK Color will automatically restart and display the Home screen. The software update will preserve your personal settings, including your registered account information, content, display settings, and Wi-Fi® settings.
Once you have 1.2.0 on your Nook Color, simply follow these steps to burn a CWM sd card:
(Note that if you already have one from re-partitioning the Nook Color you still must repeat these steps.)
1. Get an microSD card for your Nook. This should be a backup sd card to restore the Nook in case of failure. I recommend any cheap 2 GB one. Dependent on your sd size, download the correct image here Use the 1st set of links, not the 1gb image at the bottom. Download that and then follow these instructions to make a CWM sd card:
Windows Instructions:
1. Download Win32DiskImager.
2. Insert the microSD card into your computer. You will need a microSD card USB adapter for this. DO NOT USE THE NOOK COLOR FOR THIS! Open up Win32DiskImager for Windows. Then in Win32DiskImager select your sd card. Make sure to have a backup of it as this erases it.
3. Select the file to write and browse for the downloaded CWM image from earlier. Select it and then OK. Hit Write. Once it says it's done, your Done!
Mac Users (If you are on Linux you'll know what these mean on Linux because anyone who runs Linux has a knowledge on computers)

Then you will be greeted with a yellow+black screen. Take the sd card out and hit the home button. I should reboot the Nook. If not, hold the power button until it does. Put the sd card back in your computer. Then download this zip and put it on the sd card. Put the sd card back in the Nook and then reboot the Nook. Again, loading and then yellow+black screen. This time use the Volume- to move down the menu, and select "Install zip from sd card" Hit the home button there and then select "Choose zip from sd card" using the home button. Find the zip you downloaded and put on the sd card. Select that, then select "yes". It will flash that and then you will be back to the menu. Hit the power button and then select "reboot system". Your finished! The nook will boot and as soon as you unlock you will see a white box with 3 options. Tick the check box at the bottom and hit "Zeam Launcher" Now hit the icon with white dots at the bottom and you should see the root apps+the normal Nook apps. Open up the market and download anything you want to! Because you can!
Installing a Custom ROM​
Well, once your Nook is rooted, you might wanna change the ROM to a better, more Android experience. In this case you will need a CWM sd card. Use the instructions above for rooting but at the when downloading the zip to your sd card download one of the ROM zips below:
CM7 - An Android 2.3 Gingerbread experience with countless optimizations to make it awesome. Highly supported, extremely HQ ROM. Download the latest here.
Phiremod Nook - A custom ROM based off of CM7. Anything that works on CM7 will work here. Pretty awesome, good support. Here.
Nookie Froyo - A Stock Froyo experience with customizations. Old, minimal support, not really used. Umm.. Download.
Nookie Comb - Very old, Honeycomb themed, unused, old. Very old. Download.
Honeycomb SDK Build 10 - Honeycomb, optimized for tabs, but slow and unsupported. Pretty old. I cannot find a download.
Honeycomb SDK Build 11 - Honeycomb, really optimized for tabs, slow, and a pretty unsupported. Download.
MIUI - Awesome in my opinion. REALLY REALLY Optimized for tabs, awesome UI, great, awesome, supported, great, awesome, sweet, should flash it. Download as of the latest version at this time of writing.
For CM7, HC, and the Nookie builds you must download this after flashing the ROM and flash that too. It will get Market.
Dualbooting CM7 and Stock 1.2​
0. Make a CWM sd card using these instructions.
1. Download CM7 to your sd card. I recommend the latest version from here. Also, if you would like to overclock download this. Lastly, if you would like to remap Volume + and - to Menu and Back, download this too. Also, your gonna want (duh) have a copy of Nook Color Stock 1.2. This one is the best in my opinion. Also, if you would like to root Stock 1.2, get this. Now get gapps from here. Almost! Download thishere. And now the multiuboot! Grr... this is tiring... but lasties! Get it here. Put ALL the files you downloaded on your SD Card.
1. Boot into CWM. Go into Backup+Restore and create a backup. Then go into Mounts+Storage and unmount the sd card. Put in an MicroSD reader in your computer. Navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ and find the backup. Copy it to your computer. You can now delete it from the SD Card. Put the SD Card back in the nook. Go into Mounts+Storage and hit "Mount sd card" Now from the same place, wipe system, data, and cache. Now go to the root menu (hit the power button once). Hit "Install zip from sd card" then "Choose zip from sd card" Select prep.dualboot.zip. Then redo the choose zip Select your downloaded 1.2 Zip. It should be called "update_nc_stock_1.2_keepcwm.zip" Flash that. Now wait for it to install. Reboot your Nook. It will boot and will ask you to setup the Nook. Set it up but if you don't have wifi, follow these instructions. After setting up, boot back into CWM using your sd card.
2. Now Choose the zip from sd again, but select ManualNooter. That will take one minute to flash. Reboot again. Make sure your root is setup. To confirm, download an app from the market. Any app.
3. Once that is done, boot back into CWM. Flash the zip "eclair-to-dualboot-0.2.zip" It will duplicate Stock 1.2 to the Second partition. Now go into Mounts+Storage, and wipe system+data+cache. Now choose zip again, but this time pick CM7. Then Choose again, pick GAPPS. Then anything else, like that KeysMod or OC kernel. Now flash Multi-Uboot-0.3.zip. Now reboot without holding anything. It should boot CM7. Reboot, but this time hold the home button. BAM! Stock 1.2. Hope it worked for ya!

Install removal script for dual boot found in these forums
Install stock 1.2 from the link mentioned in OP
Boot 1.2 and register the device
Sleep 7.5 hours and then chat with iKingBlack
Install manual nooter, then the apk enabler
Boot 1.2 to check root access
(no boot from now on)
Install prep dual boot
Install eclair to dual boot
Format system, data and cache
Install CM7 nightly
Install gapps
Install multi boot
Reboot holding N and check stock works as it used to
Reboot normally, check CM7 works and set it up
Since then I have used both partitions successfully.

Unbricking a "not booting" Nook Color​@RileyGrant has done a great job on this so I will quote him:
RileyGrant said:
First off, I need to address credit where credit is due. All credit goes out to Samuelhalff, Nootered, thecubed, iomonster, Decad3nce and anyone else involved with any of the methods I will mention.
As always, everything in this guide is completely at your own risk, I am not responsible for you messing up your device further nor am I responsible in the event that your Nook Color explodes and kills your cat, grandma, etc.
The Fatal Black Screen:
This is the issue where your Nook "refuses to boot up" usually after running Froyo (or possibly HC) off of your internal memory. This is usually caused by, but is not limited too, formatting your sdcard from within Froyo (or versions of HC prior to the flashable zip).
99.99% of the time, this does not mean your Nook is bricked in any way, what simply happened is your boot partition has become corrupted. For you newbies out there, the boot partition is what allows your Nook Color to turn on. The boot partition contains the instructions for what your Nook Color needs to do in order to start up and run.
The Fix:
Thanks to the guys that developed this neat toy, the Nook is set to boot from the sdcard before booting from the internal memory. What this means is, your nook will first search for a boot partition on the sdcard before searching for a boot partition on your Nook's internal memory. Because of this, we are able to boot and run OS software directly from the SDcard. This is how we will be fixing your "bricked" Nook Color.
First visit this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Download either the Rootpack, or the Clockwork Recovery image (1gb).
Next visit this link and download the 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 restore to stock files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
From this link you should also download the very last zip on the page. It is titled-flashable boot repartition zip. or something of the like. If you followed all these steps and still nothing, I would recommend flashing this as it can fix a completely screwed boot partition.
If you wish to instead restore to a pre-rooted 1.1, visit this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
Once you have the either version of the bootable Clockwork Recovery (Rootpack or normal standard Clockwork Recovery) and a software version you would like to restore to, you must write your clockwork recovery to an sdcard to make it bootable in the Nook.
In order to do this, you must use Win32DiskImager on Windows or the command line on Mac and Linux. Follow theses instructions for writing the file to an sdcard (substitute the Clockwork file in place of Nooter):
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting
Once the image is done writing, open up your sdcard on your computer and copy whichever restore to stock zip you choose earlier onto the card.
Now with your Nook Color unplugged from the computer, insert the sdcard and plug the Nook into the computer. Your screen should flash to life. After a short loading screen you will see a menu, using the volume keys, you are able to navigate up and down. Navigate down to the menu item that reads "mounts and storage." Navigate down and press "Format Data" then "Yes." Next do the same thing except format system. Using the power button to go back to a previous menu, return to the "mounts and storage" menu, make sure the sdcard is mounted. (If your sdcard is mounted, you will see the option to 'unmount /sdcard'. If it is not mounted you will see 'mount /sdcard'. In this case you would want to press the 'mount /sdcard' option in order to mount it. Again using the power button as the back button, navigate back to the main menu. You will see a menu item that reads "Install zip from sdcard." Select it. Now select 'choose zip from sdcard.' Now pick the zip you placed on the sdcard earlier. Scroll down to the 'Yes' option and select it. Clockwork Recovery will begin flashing the stock image to your internal memory. After a few minutes, the process should complete and you will see a message that says 'Done. Installation Complete.' From here you should remove your sdcard and navigate back to the main menu. Select the 'Reboot Now' option.
Note: Sometimes after you see the 'Done. Installation Complete.' message, Clockwork will freeze up and you will be unable to navigate back to the main menu in order to reboot. If this is the case do a hard reboot (hold the power button for 15 or so seconds so the screen turns off, then hold the power button again till it turns on).
Congratulations, you've unbricked your bricked Nook Color
TO EVERYONE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AFTER THIS, YOU MAY/SHOULD FLASH SAMUELHALFF'S REPARTITION ZIP MENTIONED EARLIER. (LOOK UP A FEW LINES, SAME LINK AS THE 1.0.0 AND 1.0.1 RESTORE TO STOCK ZIPS)
UPDATE:
IF YOUR STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, USE THIS LINK TO INSTALL 3.0.1.0 ON INTERNAL EMMC AND THEN BOOT TO IT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958748
note: to do this, you need to be able to atleast boot to the N screen.
MORE UPDATE:
This link has an updated bootable CWM version on it with ext4 support. Write this to your sdcard, format /system and /data and flash CM7.

Burning a bootable CM7 or custom ROM sd card​
People want to burn an sd card to boot cm7 and then take the sd out to use stock os. This doesn't void the warranty, just don't forget to take the sd card out before running off to B&N.
Here you go:
Download this. Thanks @verygreen for this image. Unpack it into a .img.
Use the instructions for burning an sd card above for rooting the nook color but this time the if= should be this downloaded image. Then download the latest version of CM7. Download the latest here. Put the zip on the sd card. Put the sd card in the Nook. Turn it off then on again. You should see progress installing. Once that is finished, you're done! Reboot and it should boot cm7. To get Market, follow these instructions:
verygreen said:
How to install market and gapps:
After you have booted into the CM7 on SD card for the first time and set up wifi access (important!)
Go to http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version and at the end there is a table with various google apps versions. Get the one suitable for your cyanogen version (CM7 is the latest for now). The file is named gapps-....zip
shutdown your nook and take the SD card out, insert it into your computer.
Copy the gapps-... file to the SD card on the first partition (titled boot) without changing the file name.
Insert the uSD card back into the NOOK and boot into "Recovery mode" (hold nook N key and then press and hold power until the "Loading..." message appears and then disappears with screen going blank. Release power button, then press it again and hold for ~5 seconds, the bootloader "Loading..." message should be on the screen for three seconds or so before you release power button, keep holding N button until screen blanks again. If the screen went off while you were holding the power key, that means you were holding it for too long).
Alternatively if you do not want to fight the timing, boot normally into Android, then from desktop hold power key until a poweroff menu appears, In the poweroff menu choose "reboot", in the next menu choose "recovery" and press "OK". The nook would reboot straight into recovery.
How to update to a new build:
put the new build you want to try on the first partition. (the name must be update-cm-*.zip or cm_encore_full*.zip or just update-*.zip)
Boot from the SDcard in the recovery mode (see above) and the new snapshot would be installed.
The partition layout would be preserved, filesystems are NOT reformatted, so your data should be safe.
Installing other stuff:
Booting in recovery mode would install all files that are named "update-..." and end with .zip The files would then be deleted! Most of the packages should work, but I only tested a subset and not entire syntax of updater script is implemented. Certainly format and delete are not implemented.

Again thanks to @verygreen for the GAPPS install.
Theming your Nook Color
Many people want to theme it to their liking. There are many different themes, but to get one you must perform a search. Type the theme you want followed by "cm7 theme chooser", because CM7 uses a special kind of theme loader. Once you have downloaded it, you need to put the .APK on your Nook. Pretty easy. First, on the Nook, goto Settings>Applications and tick Allow non Market Installs. On Stock OS, use Nook Color Tools to tick the check box. Then, eject the sd card from the Nook and put it in your computer. Copy the apk to the sd card and put the sd back in the Nook. Download ES Explorer from the market. You can navigate your sd card using it. Find the apk and tap it. Hit install. Now open up the app "Theme Chooser". You should see your theme. Select and apply. Done!
Backing Up and Restoring, Coming Soon!

Re-partitioning the Blue-dot NC
.........
-For both Windows and Mac users-
Once that is finished, eject the sd card from the computer. Put it in your Nook Color. Turn off and Turn on the Nook Color. You *SHOULD* see a Loading screen. If not try the instructions again. Then you will be greeted with a yellow+black screen. Take the sd card out and hit the home button. It should reboot the Nook. If not, hold the power button until it does. Put the sd card back in your computer. Then download this and put it on the sd card. Put the sd card back in the Nook and then reboot the Nook. Again, loading and then yellow+black screen. This time use the Volume- to move down the menu, and select "Install zip from sd card" Hit the home button there and then select "Choose zip from sd card" using the home button. Find the zip you downloaded and put on the sd card. Select that, then select "yes". It will flash that and then you will be back to the menu. Hit the power button and then select "reboot system". Now you should be ready to get on with the rest of the guide.

Please help! I followed the instructions and the last thing you said to do was select "reboot system". I did that and am stuck at a black screen with the Nook "n" in the middle and a tiny message at the bottom of the screen that says: "Contains Reader Mobile technology by Adobe Systems Incorporated."
After about 5 minutes I ejected the SD card and then powered off and repowered back on. I'm still stuck at the same screen.
Did I do something wrong? What do I need to do to fix this?

NM, I solved the problem by rebooting back into CWM, choosing factory reset/restore. Then I could reboot. I then rebooted to CWM and flashed the 1GB partition zip again. Then I pulled the sdcard out before rebooting. This time it booted up okay. I think the repartition happened correctly, but I'm not sure how to tell.

awesome! My gf just got one.. this will help a lot once i start modding it..
couple questions.. if i install a custom rom on it.. how big of a difference is the stock 1.2 experience as an ereader .. compared to just having the nook app on cm7 as the ereader app or something? and how does battery life compare?

Any custom Rom will provide better experience and battery life

[Q] Can't get 1.4.1 upgrade to work

I always end up with little green android next to a triangle with an exclamation point in it. CMR reports: failed to verify whole-file signature. signature verification failed. installation aborted.
I have re-downloaded the file 6 times, attempted the process at least 10 times.
Contacted B&N chat support and they could not help, finally suggesting I take the NC to one of their stores. The NC is pure stock. I run CM7 from an sd card.
Any ideas??

I also run cm7 from sd, and what I found out when 1.3 came out is that some form of CWR was written to my EMMC...which prevented the update to the stock os.
I found this video, did it all, and everything worked great, i now am running 1.4.1 perfectly; and cm7 still runs off sd...woot!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szlGSBtWbKY
Hope it works for you!
Yoke
ps. After you restore, just plug in your usb cable and drop 1.4 to the root directory, let it sleep, and it should update right away...

It appears there are some remnants of CWM left on mine as mentioned above.
I have a hearing impairment problem and am unable to follow the sound on the video. Does anyone have the instructions written down? i would really appreciate if you would post it.

I'll try....
Goto the video link above, and below the video in the text describing it, you will see 4 links to files you will need. Click on each one, and save them to a known location.
Basically, you need to create a Bootable SD card that has just the Clockwork files on it.
You use the 7-zip program to extract the Clockwork Recovery file.
Insert microSD card to your computer...
Then run the Win32DiskImager program..using the browse button (...), point it to your extracted Clockwork Recovery file, make sure your SD card is the destination..Click 'write'...it will take 5-15minutes to finish.
When that is finished, you can close Win32DiskImager, then open your SD card and drag the Nook Color Restore File you downloaded earlier onto the SD Card.
Now that you have CWR and the Restore file on your SD...put it into your powered off Nook Color and power on! The screen should say "loading" with two skulls on each side...this is CWR.
From the main menu...scroll down to "mounts and storage". You use the Vol +\- keys for this..the "N" button is the 'select' button.
Scroll to "Format System" and select...scroll to "yes" and select..
Scroll to "Format Data" and select..select "yes"
Scroll to "format Cache"..ect...
Scroll to "format boot"...After boot, it will freeze up (normal) just press and hold power till it shuts down, then press and hold power again to reboot....
Scroll to "install zip from SD card" and select ...
scroll to "choose zip from sd card" and select...your recovery zip should be listed...select it...
After it runs through the update, remove the SD card, go back to main menu and select Reboot (the Power button is used as a 'back' button)
It should boot up into Stock, run through registration, then hook it up via the USB cable to your computer and drop the new 1.4.1 file on it...let it sleep, and boom..you should be good to go.
Hope this helps..
Yoke

Thank You so much! All is well now.

Glad I could help....
I certainly don't have a lot of experience, and searching this forum can be daunting with all of the fragmented threads. Maybe this thread will help some others too.
Yoke

worked like a charm, thanks!

Just want to make sure I have all the info. My Nook has 1.2 on it and I want to upgrade to 1.4. I have been booting off of a SD that has [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 on it. I can't install 1.4 now because CWR seems to be getting in the way. To fix this, I need wipe the Nook and install the software on it again using the above information? This will take the Nook back to a stock install 1.0.1. I then can update the Nook software to 1.4.1. I will then need to setup my Nook again as if it was new and redownload all of the Books, Apps, Mag, ect... that I had been using?
If this is the case, is there a chance on losing old books, ect... if they are no longer available from BN? Can I back up this information before starting this process?
Once I'm back up and running this my old stuff redownloaded and updated to 1.4.1 I can then put my old CM7 SD card back in and boot off of it and everything should work?
One last question, I only have a 32GB microSD card and there is not an option for a 32GB download of the CWR. Do I need to go by a different one to be able to do this or can I make my 32GB one work somehow? Thanks.

The size of the image should not matter... I would try the smallest (1 GB) version. The rest of the SD card will just sit empty. This way the image is written much faster .
ROM Updating only needs around 70 MB (for CM7.1), so 1 GB is plenty.

[Q] Rooting the nook hd "beginner"

Hey, I have been looking for a beginner guide to root the nook hd. I am new to rooting so i really have no idea on what to do. I do have windows 8, so i don't know if that would be a problem. If any one knows how to root the nook hd and wants to help it might be easier to chat in Skype, and my Skype name is doodlebuy97. Thanks for your help!!!
P.S. I have looked up guides, but most of them are advanced guides....

By far, the easiest way to root is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
You just need an SD card, a card reader, some software you download for burning the card, and the downloads in the thread.
Universal root is what is says.
Gapps refers to the Google Applications and Play Store is one of them
Unknown Sources lets you install files not from Barnes and Noble.
For now, ignore the other files until you get that working.
The nice thing is you can't brick your nook, worst case you just have to try to reboot 8 times to be back where you started.
Enjoy and welcome!

Thanks I'll see if this works for me!

What the site doesn't tell you is the order in which to flash. It's also a lot of info to decipher. Leapinlar has done an incredible job providing all of the resources and info needed. Here's what I did using that thread:
1. Follow the instructions in the thread for burning the cwm image to the sd card. There are easier instructions here that Someone0 posted:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34954992&postcount=132. Someone0's directions are for Win7, so it should be close to Win8.
2. Take the sd card out and reboot your Nook like normal.
3. Connect Nook to PC via USB and copy the Universal Root zip and the Gapps zip to your Nook internal storage (on top level so it will be easier to find.
4. Shut down and reinsert your burned sd card. Boot into recovery via power + volume up.
5. Once in cwm, don't hit the N button unless you want to select something. The power button is "nack" i think, but don't quote me on that. Navigate cwm to install the zip from internally storage. Make sure you find internal storage or you won't see any zips.
6. Once flashed, shut down, take out card, and reboot.
7. Discover the wonderful world of a rooted device.

Power button is Home (Top) I think.
You also need ADB running to copy the files over, no? Or are you copying to internal memory using MTP... Can you flash from there? I had just copied the zips to the card while it was in the card reader on the Windows machine. Then the zips are on the CWM card. After you are done, just do a nandroid backup with CWM too in case something gets borked later...

Wow, you're talking about LeapinLar's Nook HD/HDplus Stock Root - via CWM flashable zips thread. Let me correct and clarify those steps a bit:
1. To burn an image to your sd card in Windows, download the win32diskimager-binary.zip, unzip, and run the exe. Write the unzipped CWM image file (be sure to use the one for your device) to the sd card in your computer/card reader. (The post linked to is for getting adb working which you don't need for this.)
2.-3. Leave the sd card in your computer after burning the CWM image and just copy the zips to it.
4. With your nook off put the sd card in and turn on (no need to press the volume up).
5. Once CWM starts up, install zips from sd card (vol + & - are up and down, n button is select, power is back to previous menu). Do the universal root first, then gapps.
6. After the zips are installed, take out the sd card and select reboot.
7. Look around these forums for more info on enjoying your rooted Nook!

They do look better. Honestly, they were pretty clear to me to begin with. But I do have previous experience with the Nookcolor. I just looked at natefish's instructions and thought he was making it a little harder then it had to be.

Rooting by changing internal code
Been searching for something I stumbled along awhile back. It requires disassembling the Nook HD. My eyes are heavy from search. Supposedly there is another SD card in the nook and a few words need changing. Anyone recall were it is?
