Instructions (and a few mirrors):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11452450&postcount=22
Remember: this is NOT final. It may not even install. It may eat your device. IT the clown may come after you... I can't really do much about that...
Before anyone gets upset about a -KANG build released, it's okay, I have permission from the devs, since now all the source is publicly buildable.
If something bad happens, don't blame me, don't blame anyone. Not even your dog.
Be careful: to get back to anything relatively stock, you'd need to use my bootable SD (non EXT4) to apply uninstallclockwork.zip, then format /system, /data, and /cache from the non EXT4 card. Reboot and the device should bootloop 8 times before deciding it's useless and begins to restore the factory.zip.
That should leave you with a completely stock NookColor.
I think.
To install: boot from the ext4 cwm from this thread, format /data and /cache, then install this zip. Done.
DO NOT post here questions about this build. This thread is for the Clockwork card only...

Usage notes after 20 minutes of use:
* Feels very snappy.
* Wifi, sound work.
* Switch to the Sliding Tab lockscreen style at Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Lockscreen > Style Options > Lockscreen style. Defaults to Revamped Rotary which doesn't scale right.
* Google apps work. Install from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps (go to the bottom, CyanogenMod 7 part of the table). Market doesn't show anything under My Apps, but searching does find most of my purchased apps. Some apps don't show up (e.g. ADW Launcher Ex) - I am guessing this is because of the device signature.
* Menu, back buttons in the status bar work great so far.
* Too early to say much about battery other than it doesn't drain the way HCv4 did.

Noob questioning
Sorry but you said "usual instructions are the usual"
So how would I go about making a bootable SD card for CM7?
and what's the buildenv file for?
no bootable sd for CM7, its an emmc rom only.
Nook Color CM7 install instructions
There are a couple of ways to install Cyanogen on your Nook Color. Either of these work fine. I use the ROM Manager approach so I that I don't have to slide out the microSD on every reboot.
Install the recovery using ROM Manager from the Market. You need to root using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027 first.
Create a bootable recovery SD, boot from it and install Cyanogen.
Step by step instructions for installing Cyanogen using ROM Manager. Up to date as of 2011-10-02:
Follow the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027 to root your Nook Color and install the Market.
Using the Market app install ROM Manager.
Launch ROM Manager, install the recovery.
Download the flashable CM7 zip of your choice. I recommend the CM7 nightly from: The CM7 nightly builds.
Download the google apps from one of the links at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Copy the cm7 zip, the uBoot .zip and the google apps zip to your SD card.
Use the reboot to recovery option in ROM Manager.
Flash from .zip the cm7 zip and the google apps zip.
Reboot.
Step by step instructions for creating a bootable recovery SD and using it to install CM7. Up to date as of 2011-10-02:
Download the 3.2.0.1 bootable SD recovery image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14462733&postcount=120.
Extract the .img from the archive
Burn the recovery img to an SD card as explained at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting#Steps
Download the flashable CM7 zip of your choice. I recommend the CM7 nightly from: The CM7 nightly builds.
Download the google apps from one of the links at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Copy the cm7 zip, the uBoot .zip and the google apps zip to your SD card you created.
Unmount the SD card from your PC, insert it into your nook color.
Reboot your Nook Color. It should boot into the SD card recovery. Should read version 3.2.0.1.
Under mounts Format /system, /data, cache. Do not format /boot.
Flash from .zip the cm7 zip and the google apps zip.
Remove the SD card.
Reboot your Nook Color.
Enjoy CM7.
I keep this microSD in my NookColor all the time. When I reboot I remove it just long enough for the uBoot screen to show (Read Forever or the Cyanogen Mod logo) and then put it back in.
Downloads sometimes get corrupted. Verify md5 checksums where possible. Redownload if you have a problem when md5 checksums are not provided.
To be able to use the Netflix app, modify your build.prop to make the device claim it's an HTC Vision.
just flashed this and so far so good. the lockscreen was a little wonky on reboot (it wasn't properly sized and it took a few tries to get the rotary unlock to work.) I might need to futz around with it though.
i was successfully able to boot into CWM, wifi works great, i'm about to flash gapps and play around a bit more.
what can i say: it's CM7! this just made my day and is about to make me late for a business meeting!

First, I would like to thank cicada for the 0.6.8 image, thecubed for sdcard bootable CWR image, shad0wf0x for his stock images, dalingrin for his kernel, and samuelhalff for his help and his CWR image that I customized. This should fit on a 2GB or larger sdcard.
Please donate to the developer. Here is the original thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883175
This will erase your internal memory!
Flash with CWR
4/23/11
Went back to the 3/13/11 dalingrin's kernel
Made some changes in uRamdisk
Bluetooth is working
Wireless seems more stable
Try this without wiping data if you are coming from an earlier version
Changelog:
4/19/11
Added a status bar toggle
Added a feature to put up a notification as to the status of the status bar (this feature can be turned off in Nookie-Froyo Utils)
Added QuickDesk
Cleaned up the icons (I am finally happy with them... draw9patch)
Updated Nookie-Froyo Utils
Point of interest: If you set QuickDesk as your default launcher and add the status bar toggle to QuickDesk, you will be able to double tap the home button to hide or show the state bar.
This is a CRW zip. It will add some apps to /data/app but will not touch anything else in data so anything you've customized should still be there. So, DO NOT WIPE DATA. Also this zip will not touch cache, so if you have any problems you might format cache, but only do this if you are having problems. I hope by doing it this way will will eliminate any of the market problems we have had in the pass.
4/3/11
Status Bar and Notification window in black
No-frills CPU Control added
Added the following lines to init.rc
Code:
# sd card read speed fix
write /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb 2048
Updated NookColor Utils and rename it Nookie-Froyo Utils
- Forced Status Bar options added
- Change density and added new densities options
- Moved Reboot to about tab
- Added Poweroff to about tab
Updated to dalingrin's 3/31/11
Cleaned up the spacing on the status bar... Icons are not jammed up against the clock
This will not touch the /data partition
3/18/2011:
This should work on the eMMC version as well. I don't have a CWR package yet. Will make one tomorrow. If you want you can preview it now. You will not have to run softkeys as a service, but set the physical button to be one tap launcher and two taps softkeys for any app that hides the statusbar.
Unzip the attached framework.zip and copy to /system/framework/
This will be difficult for Windows users unless you have adb installed, but I would like some Linux users to test it out. I will try to write a script/app that will unzip and copy directly on the device. If someone else wants to write the script that would be okay too. I am try to avoid making everyone re-image their sdcard just to get the update.
Now to the good stuff, I have everything, messages, buttons and icons on the status bar centered vertically and the drop down notification bar is full screen at 160 LCD density.
Let me know how you like it and how you installed it. We need to come up with a easy install for non-techies that boot to the sdcard.[/COLOR]

Added a mount command to init.rc for /media
Added an environmental variable for INTERNAL_STORAGE
Zeroed out unused space to make the image smaller

Burn to sd card... why not a flashable zip
i have 2 questions, does this fit on a 2gb sdcard, and do we burn it to the sd card like with the auto nooter? also, right this boots off the sdcard and does nothing to the internals?
edit
wait so it does mess with the emmc? which means we can format the sdcard on another android device and the nook will still run nf?

To update flash does one just download it from the market? Also Is this version overclocked at all. Do over clocked versions still have the potential to overheat/explode due to the battery regulator being disabled or has that problem been remedied?

▐▄▀▄▀▌ TUTORIAL CWM roms are the way to go right now!!!
THIS IS A TUTORIAL TO GET CWM ROMS UP AND RUNNING ON UR RHODIUM
SO i felt completely compelled to share my amazing experience and results with my CWM rom!!!!
i almost always try to keep the development process here away from other sites
if you want a REALLY GOOD WORKING version of android on your device without trying NAND ... follow my instructions...
first off i have a ATT Tilt 2 i have been using with this..
to find anything you need to know on android for our phones go HERE
(Neopeek site)
any size card should do for runing CWM builds,,, i however am runnig an 8gb class 4 sdhc and all is well
MY recommended partition sizes... (i set 300mb as all my EXT2 partitions just to make calculating it easier...)
(primary) FAT32 - storage for music videos pics etc... rest of space
(primary) EXT2 - 200-300mb (system) holds rom build... none are over 250mb
(primary) EXT2 - 200-300mb (data) data for android... i believe is the space for app install... so bigger is better..
(primary) EXT2 - 50-100mb (cache) like ram sorta...
with these sizes... worryin about the size of the rom will not matter ..
look on the site link i posted above on how to install and use CWM if you havent before... (dont worry newbs... its easier then everyone makes it seem...)
with CWM builds the standard Gapps are not included...
THIS SITE is the repository to go to... i am using "gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip" but feel free to try others to see if they load...
this is the the most frustrating part of CWM, finding GAPPS that install...
u install them the same way you do a rom... by installing the zip from the sd card...
i do recommend installing gapps zip after you have already installed the rom and booted and restarted android a couple of times
otherwise i recommend THIS ROM as it is the one i use... i know it is only Froyo but it has a themed gingerbread taskbar with black pull down so it still looks nice!!!
lastly
((((technically test kernel.. so not recommended!!... but proven to fix screen not coming on problem...))))
for you crazy tester ppl waiting for the day you brick your phone(im totally kidding dont worry newbs) i use the WIS-Tilt2 kernel the newer test one to be specific...
GO HERE
With this kernel my device goes in to deep sleep with the GReen light and wakes up perfect every time!!!!!
the zip is just modules package and a zImage.. just have to replace and boot...
WARNING... when i updated with the working kernel it looked like it wasnt going to work.. didnt seem to be anywhere enough scrolling text and the boot animation barely played and then the screen went black... i played around with the buttons and found the device to be opperating with out the screen on i kept pressing buttons and the screen finally woke up!!!! be patient!!!! after that it worked perfectly everytime...
other tips... for people experiencing wifi unable to scan problem ..
use the Wifi-nvram.txt trick look it up in xda... once command is entered no need to reboot just turn on wifi and connect!!!
i hope that this has been helpful i couldnt find any where that had all the tips and tutorial in one place to get CWM up and running at least once... had to do it trial and error.. hope my hard work will help you newbs out!!! hahaha

Here is the CMW version of the normal FRX06 by arrrghhh. Credits to arrrghhh for the build and to preston74 for making it ready for CMW.
G-apps are already included in this build so you don't have to flash them separate.

Well, i used CWM with an 1GB SD and worked like a charm...
and first time i did it with a 2gb... i just said more cause there is more room for apps... lol
should prolly clarify that...

Yes you are doing a good job
I first made a cmw version of frx06 without gapps, but argghhh told me it was ok if I include the gapps, so I did
You may also integrate my link in your first post, then I'll delete my post.
Forgive me here... I am new to the CWM builds. If I have a CWM build on an SD card, with the appropriate ex2 partitions and all, can I use CWM to put on a different build? That would be a whole lot easier than having to reformat and start over...
Well if you run in to any problems the support here is going to be limited.
On the other hand if you use XDAndroid the support here is maximal.
For testing and dev reasons, I will stay with my current build. I quite like my bluetooth.
For any beginners I would very much recommend that you use 'standard' (see intro to android sticky). Well, at least until you are confident you don't need to be hand-guided through this and know what to do if something goes wrong.

It actually is pretty easy - you can backup your current system & data partitions, and throw a new build on - if you don't like it, wipe and revert to the backup.
The only problem is if you have CWM installed, other 'normal' (looped mount) builds will not work - the rootfs will see the partitions and think you want to run from partitions - of course, this results in a failure to boot... I like having many builds on my card at one time so I can flip between them - this also makes testing a heckuva lot easier, so heads up folks!
Nice tutorial and thanks for putting my build in it,but you should put proper credits as Neopeek(and his team) made cwm and i made the build you linked(you can avoid doing this)
And it's gingerbread like themed and the theme name is minimal green..
You can avoid doing 300 mb system as almost all the builds are less than 100 mb,so doing it 150mb is good
CWM and loopmounted builds can co-exist.

To avoid this you can just add the "no_partitions" (without the quotes) switch to your cmdline on your startup.txt of the loopmounted build and you should be good to go.
It may depend on your rootfs, but I'm using F22's rootfs and it works like a charm.
i'm trying cwm with frx6 and it keep saying fail rootfs., what am i doing wrong?
Do you followed the tutorial on how to set up your sd-card for cmw? I think you are using a wrong rootfs. As far as I know you need the rootsf from neopeek's cmw.

I think you are choosing the wrong item in cmw, you need to choose 'Install zip from sd-cart' and then 'choose zip from sdcard'. Don't choose 'apply sdcart/update.zip' or something like that.
And if that doesn't work, maybe try another build. There is a (really small, because I tested it myself) option that the frx06 cmw build doens't work well.

No thats not it. i did just just what u are saying. I even tried the CherryPieV3 and it still installation aborted. I'm using CWM 1.8 could that be the problem
If you already have CWM files on your phone, then do not just install the CherryPieV3.zip file. You must extract the zip file which has another zip file inside that you should use to install in CWM.

Yes, you´re right. But he said that he also tried frx06, and that doesn´t worked for him too, and with the frx06.zip bundle, you don´t need to extract it first (if i'm right ;p)

I tried to install your CMW version of he Arrghhh FRX06 build but it fails on installing.
I have followed all the steps closely but still can't get it installed.
In the CWM tool when I choose Install zip from SD card and then choosing the FRX06 update the install process starts and within a few seconds aborts.
This is what I see on my screen:

I got a nook tablet recently, i registerested it already which i understand you have to do... now i want to backup everything and run regular android as in not B&N version. Im not sure which way to go from here, i see there is an sd option and a regular option?
i was reading this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439630
as i was getting ready to do it, i started to double think if it was what i wanted.
i want to be able to run the latest android rom possible.
appreciate any help, thanks.
The process you are linking to is very simple and "safe". With the card you create you can startup CWM (ClockWorkMod - utility for flashing and backup and more) and not only root your device, but also make a backup, should you want to go back to where you were prior to flashing whwaever you decide to flash.
The rooting alone lets you install apps from other sources than BN. I think rooted stock tweaked a bit isn't too bad to run actually!
To try out other options completely risk free you can run CM10 (ICS) from an sd card. I do that while I wait for CM10 to be more stable/bug free. It runs incredibly well from sd, and I doubt performance will be greatly enhanced onec I install it internally (as I probably will do at som point.
To run from sd card you don't have to root the device unless you want to.
Great guides for making a sd-card are here and there. For example http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
The first thing I would suggest is to make a bootable recovery SD card using the process and files from here (use the MLO_u-boot_flashing-boot.rar and one of the packages with sdcard.zip suffix), and backup your current stock config and safely save/archive the backup folder -- you'll be glad you have it around one of these days. Make sure that you also keep a copy of whichever recovery program version you choose to use together with the backup folder, since different recovery programs and versions use different backup file archive formats.
If you want to root the NT I would recommend using the update.zip referenced in this post (by liquidzoo) which is more up-to-date than the rooting package you saw (I had used the latter version and had problem updating its Google Store app). Just put this zip package on the same recovery SD card and use the recovery program to install it.
Having tried out the rooted form of the NT for about a week I think it's just marginally better than a stock NT -- there are just so many common apps that are no longer available for the NT's Android version. You would be much better of investing time in going full-fledge CM10, either running off an SD or natively. If you choose to go native CM10 you can revert back to stock using the backup discussed above.
Can you please verify if I am doing the correct thing
@digimax,
I just got my Nook Tablet today, so just wanted to be very clear to make the backup of the current stock config. Here's what I propose to do. Please correct me if I am doing anything wrong.
1) As per you post, I downloaded 3 files
a) MLO_u-boot_flashing-boot.rar,
b) CM9-10_CWM_V6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip,
c) CM9-10_TWRP_v2.2.2.0_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip
2) Unzip all the above 3 files
3) Rename the CWM file to recovery.img
4) Rename the TWRP file to altboot.img
5) Copy recovery.img and altboot.img and MLO, flashing_boot.img and u-boot.bin to the root of the SDCard.
6) Insert the SDCard into the Nook Tablet and boot the Nook into one of the recovery and make a backup.
Please let me know if this is the correct procedure.
Thanks!
It looks right, make sure that your boot partition is Primary FAT32 (type 0x0C) with LBA and Active flags set (you can check and set all this using a partition management tool such as MiniToolPartition).
Also, to boot into SD: just turn off the NT and insert a powered-USB cable, and the NT will boot up after a few seconds (assuming that the SD is bootable).
Once CyanoBoot comes up, hold the "N" button to get the boot menu from which you can select one of the two recovery programs.
a lot of this is going way over my head, i need to make sure i go slow and read carefully.
thanks for all the info.

Remember that you can make CM10 run totally risk free from am SD-card. That way you can have a smooth running device to explore while you keep reading up on diffrent options. That's what I do! The Tablet doesn't even have to be rooted to do this (mine is though).

This is the website I used:

Look through the comment sections for further clarity on the process.
If that is beyond you, then I suggest getting a pre-made image for the size of SDCard you have and burning your own image. Google AndroidforNook or N2A for the website links.

thank you guys so much!
I have some questions about this whole process.
Is one rooted nook the same as another rooted nook (before using a ROM)?
Is this a good rooting tutorial:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n2D5-Q6UFg
I think I would like to follow this tutorial, option C: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081981
The first part of C says:
1. You need a bootable CWM card. Instead of making my own I use Albert's root image from B (above) because this image includes CWM 5.x.x. I use this to flash a higher version CWM internally. I erase the zip files from the card to make room for a flashable CWM 6.x.x
That refers to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21275927#post21275927
That tutorial says:
6. Reboot using CWM settings
9. Follow Video for Root Calibration with Apps
7. Sideload all you want (See folder for select games and other stuff)
What does reboot using CWM settings mean? And the video for root calibration with apps is no longer available. And as far as sideloading goes, I wouldn't know what to sideload.
Then back to the original tutorial, it says:
2. Find a flashable CWM 6.x.x I found mine through http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1640958
I use the one named "flash_cm9-10_cwm v6...." Download and copy to your sd card.
I'm not sure what a good version is. Do they all do the same thing? Can you install any version?
As you can tell I'm pretty confused on the details of these things.
I've probably got more questions but haven't gotten that far yet.
I wrote that tutorial, but I have since changed my way of doing things.
Anyway, you are not meant to jump between the two tutorials and do the rooting with that first card. It's simply a way to get a bootable CWM 5 card without having to set up partitions or anything like that. You only use that card top boot into CWM 5.
I understand from another topic that Albert's root image may not be available at his download link, but Brian's boot that I mention in the "B" section should work as well and so would a couple of others as well.
I give a link and a name of the CWM 6 file I used back then, and it should still be good.
That "changed my my of doing things" now is I skip the CWM5 step and use the CM10 sd-card that I had been using before installing it internally. I link to that image in section "A". You can use that card as a bootable CWM 6 card. The process if using that would be something like
1. Download and burn the image to a 2GB or larger sd-card. No need to expand partitions since you won't actually use this the way it was intended.
2. When booting, hold the "n" key to get into Cyanoboot menu. Once in the menu there should be a "sd recovery" or similar choice to make.
3. You should now be in CWM 6.x.x and be able to flash your ROM and gApps.
Once your CM10 (I would suggest staying with Succulent (Iamafanof) CM10, dated 1231) CWM 6 and Cyanoboot are both included and you can boot intoi Cyanoboot without the CWM bootable card.
If you feel very lost when trying to follow different tutorials, consider running from sd-card insteda with one of Succulents ready-made images (he has bot CM10 and CM10.1 images). Ther is very little loss in performance in my experience.

Hi people. I've been browsing a lot lately and Reading about roms, kernel, and other stuff related to customization of Android devices. I consider myself enough tech-savvy to understand technical things about hardware on this devices but when it comes to all the thing related to flashing roms and kernels and related things i have no clue of what you're talking about, lol.
However, I'm really interested on "installing" Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Player 4 just to see what happens and how flashing roms feels like, so i can try different roms later and enhance my device. But no matter how hard I try to find a tutorial about how to begin from total stock (as the device comes from the store) haven't been lucky finding one. As far as I know the first step is flashing a new kernet with CWM, so then i can flash the roms. But I'm stuck on Step One :s
So, if there's a link you can post here to help begin with this flashing trend it'd be great. Or if you can redact a "custom" tutorial for me, a total programming noob but interested as hell about modifying my GP4 that would be a thousand times better.
Also, feel free to recommend me kernels or roms or whatever you feel i could use
Thanks!!!
PD: not native english speaker
I just finished doing this exact thing myself, so its fresh in my mind First, BACK UP!! there are different methods with varying degrees of how much they back up, search the forum for them. Definitely backup the efs. Instructions are in the first post for the CM10 ROM. Then, I began by flashing a custom kernel using Odin. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Tips and Tricks section of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27615927
Kernels can also be found in the appropriate section of that post. Make sure you get one for your device. All of them include CWM (ClockworkMod) which is what you need to easily flash a full ROM. The kernel won't actually effect your current operating system accept to maybe improve performance.
Next, download the ROM file(s) onto your device. ROMs are also in the above post. Again, make sure you get one for your device. Read the instructions in the ROM thread on how exactly to flash them, but the general procedure is to boot into CWM by holding some set of buttons during start up (probably power + volume up) and navigate the CWM menu to flash the ROM.

Now a question... When you tell me to make a backup, what exactly should I backup and with what program or app? Installed Titanium BAckup app and all i see is the option to backup individual apps. I expected to find something like "total backup of the device" or a similar thing that bacups the whole thing...
please tell me what to use and what to do

where should i upload the zlimage?

That's because you're suppose to flash it via CWM. If it's a tar file, you flash it via Odin. And you're not suppose to extract it, lol.

Is Terra Silent compatible with CM10??? Reading the thread of Terra Silent a user made a comment on this asking the developer (i guess) to make Terra Silent compatible with CM10.... :s
ok now i have some problems...
got to flash the Terra Silent Kernel. After rebooting everything was ok. Installed Rom Manager in order to install CWM. Rom Manager installed CMW and then came back to main menu. There was an option for creating a copy of the stock rom, thought it wolud be a good idea to make a copy. When i did it, phone went black and then reboted. after rebooting came back to the lock screen but changed language (spanish -> english). Algo noticed there was missing the google search bar. When entered to the apps menu there were a lot of icons of the android robot with an SD card symbol over. When clicked them it says that the apps are not installed on the system.
installed rom manager again, and went to recovery boot. flashed both cm9 and cm 10 included in the cm 10 thread. Now my playr is stuck in the recovery screen...
what do i do?

Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

I did this change, switched numbers and now i can see the files on the sd card. Only that before flashing CM 10 the access to the sd card was through a folder calles "externa sd", now the sd card files and folders are scattered on the home screen of any file explorer i acess the sd card with. It's not a big ideal but i dont like it.
When i edited the file you told me there was a 1 after where now says sdcard 1. Shoud that number be erased or better keep it?
