I bought my own nook color on saturday, there doesn't appear to be a factory image that can be restored. My new nook color came with version 1.01 preinstalled. Before turning it on the first time I put in nookie froyo and did a dd of all 8 of the stock partitions. Below is the zipped up .img files of mmcblk0p1/mmcblk0p5 (boot/system) from a stock untouched 1.01 nook color. I am also including the factory.zip. This should be enough to restore a bricked nook color with a corrupted boot or system partition. Many people have been able to restore to stock by just using the boot.img because after 8 failed boots it will do a factory reset.
To make this work you must have ADB working first. You may be able to get this to work on ADB Wireless, but I don't recommend it. For instructions on getting adb to work with the nook color go here:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB
To use these files unzip them to the sdcard portion of a nookie froyo sdcard, or just about any other rom that runs from the sdcard and run the following commands in an adb shell:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Boot
System
factory.zip
Thanks, you're a life saver!

Did it fix you samuelhalff?
Yes. But I only used boot.img. Then restored to stock with 8 failed boots. Dd'ing system will also work.
If it dosen't boot, do a factory reset with power+n.

So if I put the factory.zip on /dev/mmcblk0p3 and replace the current one, when we do the 8 bad boot trigger we would get 1.0.1 flashed instead of 1.0.0 right?
Yes. And I would also do a power+n reset at the end, to avoid any problems.

shad0wf0x,
I am having the same problem with my NC not booting after a failed attempt at
re-rooting. I will tell you in advance that I am VERY tech-phobic and don't comprehend all this command-line stuff well at all.
Given your original post above, could you please explain in layman's terms EXACTLY what steps to take to restore my NC to like-new? And hopefully it can be done with just simply putting some files on a micro SD and that's it. Please let me know from start to finish how I do this. Appreciate your help in advance.
vigeh4
P.S. I know I had no business doing this, but I screwed my unit up anyway. I already tried the 8-step interrupt thing before re-rooting but with no success.
vigeh4,
First download the first 2 files, system and boot, and then unzip them. Then you need to copy those 2 files (system.img and boot.img) to the sdcard, either while booted up in nookie froyo or by putting the sdcard in your computer. Then you must have adb working on your computer. open a command prompt or terminal(windows or mac/linux) and go to the location where your working adb is and copy and paste those commands into the window to run them.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Sorry, I am WAY confused about how to do this. This adb crap is over my head.
Maybe I just have a $250 paperweight at this point. If I mail you my NC, would you reset to "factory" for a small fee?
Thanks.
OMFG, thank you very much for these files and instructions.
I really thought I bricked it to the point of no return. I initially screwed it up when I installed Clockwork and wouldn't boot past "N", then after tinkering around some more, it wouldn't even turn on ... lol.
@vigeh
First you need to unzip those files you just downloaded. Second, you need to copy the "boot.img" and "system.img" (not the *.zip) to the "/SDCARD" folder on your SDCARD. I had to use WIFI FILE Explorer in Nookie Froyo cuz I messed up my nook so bad, i couldn't copy these files by turning on the USB Storage through the regular method. It took me days to figure this out cuz i'm kinda slow.
I hope you installed the Android-SDK on your computer already. If so, then go to the folder named "\platform-tools" on your PC - this is where ADB.EXE is located. Connect your nook and type "ADB DEVICES" just to make sure your nook is connected to the computer. It'll show up and tell you it is or not. If it is connected then do the following:
1. Type "ADB SHELL" then you'll see a "#" symbol after you hit enter.
2. Type "dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1" just the way it is written by the original poster (minus the "" marks)
at this point, it usually wont say anything. Just wait a few minutes and something will pop up. In my case, it says:
"477033984 bytes <454.9MB> copied, 138.757660 seconds, 3.3MB/s"
"#"
3. Type the second command next to the "#" sign "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
wait another few minutes til the next confirmation pops up.
4. turn off nook, remove SD card
5. Hold the N button and the Power button at the same time and it'll ask you to reset the nook to factory settings.
I hope this helps you ....
well im a tard... i did this without reading that YOU CANNOT HAVE GOOGLE APPS!!!! so anyway Im trying to get back to a stock image, but i cant figure out how to copy 700 med +/- of images to 134 meg f free space. someone un-tard me plz . thanks
I have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, and if I put the factory.zip you provided on my sd card and use the option 'install zip from sdcard' will that in fact install factory settings on the nook?
I tried to do the 8 failed boots, but cannot get it to work with this installed.

I have a question though, if I dont have the file "SDCARD" in my SD card then can I just make a new file and name it SDCARD, and put both of the .img's into it?

I'm not sure if that will work, I guess it's worth a try, however if you replace the existing factory.zip and do a factory reset you will restore back to 1.01 instead of 1.0 if you don't already have a nc that has 1.01 on it. I saw another thread about trying to use the factory.zip with cwm, but I didn't see anyone coming back and say it worked. How to flash back to stock is found here:

You could try to mount the media partition in nookie froyo and put them there.
The partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 and type is vfat.

you're typing incorrect paths and commands.
first you need to cd into your tools, mine looks like this:

then it'll be in your tools folder and you'd do this:
adb push Capture.jpg /sdcard/Capture.jpg
by the way, you probably coud've simply mounted the phone as a disk drive and transefered the image that way too.
it is in your best interest to learn more about adb, I made a links thread with a few links to adb guides, just click my avatar to find my threads. also if you ever have a quick question feel free to ask in the q+a thread in my sig.

First cd to the directory that the file you want to push is in. So if its in documents, do:
cd \Users\David\Documents\
Then do : adb push Capture.jpg /sdcard/
That should do the trick, assuming you have adb set up properly to execute commands from any directory (adb.exe must be set in PATH)

Greetings everyone!
New *registered* user here! I've been frantically sifting through post after post on the forums all night hoping to get some help with an issue I am having on my Vibrant.
Goal:
Remove some bloatware ONLY, not looking to install any ROMs or modify the phone too much...just clean some annoying apps and icons off.
Phone Information:
Model SGH-T959
Firmware 2.2
Baseband T959UVKB5
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FROYO.UVKB5
I currently have the latest version of Java, Android SDK, and SuperOneClick installed.
Install directory of AndroidSDK:
C:\AndroidSDK
My method of failure:
Open SuperOneClick, Click "Root"
Start, Run, "CMD"
cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19/system
This is where it fails and I run into an endless loop of it telling me the proper usage of the "mount" command. I thought I had it at one point but when I typed: rm /system/AmazonMp3.apk all it did was tell me that it was a read-only file and that it couldn't be deleted.
Can someone help lead me in the right direction of what I am doing wrong? I rooted and removed all bloatware about a year ago but I just did an upgrade through MiniKies to the latest version of firmware and I can't seem to remember the process I went through that long ago to get it done right.
I apologize for possibly asking a question that has been asked numerous times but I just couldn't seem to get the wording right to get any helpful results in the search of the forums. Thank you so much for the time in reading this and the future help if any can be provided. Have a great night!!!
It looks like you are in the wrong directory. Open a command prompt in
C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
Open the platform tools folder. Click on a blank space > hold down the shift key > hit right click > select open command window here. Then enter the commands:
adb devices "to check if your device is connected. also make sure usb debugging is enabled on your phone.
adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
If you want a list of all your /system/apps enter this command
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
This is much easier if you download rom toolbox from the market. All you do is go to /system/app and delete whatever bloatware you dont want.
BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DELETING SYSTEM APPS. ONLY DELETE WHAT YOU KNOW IS BLOATWARE OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET FC'S
good luck
Would I still need to follow the steps prior to that and use SuperOneClick to root the device or do I just skip that process and go straight to the cmd prompt?
Also, I followed a tutorial I found for installing the Android SDK that informed me to copy all the files from android-tools to the tools directory and use that instead but I don't know what the use in that is except for maybe a smaller directory name?
EDIT: I tried what you said with and with using SuperOneClick prior to the procedure and the cmd prompt displayed the following text:
*opened cmd promt in C:\AndroidSDK\tools (no files in platform-tools anymore)*
adb devices (it found my device connected)
adb remount (adb remount: no such file or directory exists)
The adb shell and su commands works fine BUT I still hit the endless loop of it trying to explain to me the "usage" of the mount command.
I will look into Rom toolbox as I'm trying to figure this out as well. Thank you.
I strongly recommend you download root explorer or some similar root browser app. Of course though your phone must be rooted. Just try rom toolbox. It has its own root browser within the app along with other useful features. This is probably the easiest way to uninstall the bloatware in your case since you are having issues with adb.

Thank you!
Okay, I have the suggested "rom toolbox" downloaded from the market and I will try to use that but SuperOneClick does not root the phone deep enough for rom toolbox to see the phone as rooted so...will the "updated.zip" method work for this instead?
I haven't tried it before but I am willing to give it a go if you think it's the best method. If this is the method you recommend, would you happen to have a link to the most recent or atleast most trusted updated.zip rooting method?

So I downloaded the one click program you suggested and the program itself seems to bee pretty straight forward.
I connected phone to computer with debugging on. Opened program and hit one click root. It started doing it's thing...phone rebooted and went into recovery. I started to follow instructions up until I got to where it said install packages. When I clicked it, the phone said installation failed no such file our directory exists.
The phone is looking for the updated.zip file but none exists in the one click folder. There is a root.zip and an unroot.zip...do I need to rename one of them to proceed???
Thank you so much for all the help so far, I feel like I'm so close but just not there yet. You have been an incredible help!

The way (Stock) Recovery works is if you are not "Install from SD" then it will look for the file labeled Update.zip. So you can rename only the Root.zip to Update.zip and make sure that is the only thing on your internal SD labeled that or with .zip Put the unroot.zip in a folder for now. Then try again.
Alright, will give that a try when I get home. I thought I read that the program copied the update.zip file to the phone during it's process so I didn't want to do anything to work against that. I will rename one of the files, copy it to the phone and give the one click root another shot. Thank you!

There is no need to rename anything. The program does it all for you. Play close attention to the first screen (green one) if it says update.zip copied successfully it will then reboot your phone to stock recovery. Once you are in stock recovery all you do is click reinstall packages. Keep clicking reinstall packages even if it reboots the first time. To prove my point mount your phone to your pc and check to see if the update.zip is copied onto the root of your into storage. If not well copy the update.zip from the last guide i suggested from above.
Also check to see if the superuser app is installed on your phone. The program also installs that along with the update.zip. If you have superuser then go to the market download rom manager so you could download CWM.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Alright, so I tried it again once I got home. Didn't work BUT I did see that update.zip was installed into my phone. The sig verification failed, which means I need to change recovery versions to the one that skips sig verification correct?
I'll go search the forums for that since I remember seeing that a little while ago but that is the correct path I need to take at this point in time am I right?
Thank you so much! Big big help!
You can pull the CWR from my signature. Same as before. Put it on your internal labeled update.zip, boot into recovery and and scroll down to Reinstall Packages. Hit it. It will cycle and probably come back to stock recovery. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the stock recovery will go from blue to green (CWR).
Side note, probably from there you will be able to install the Superuser update.zip. Just go to Install from SD card and find it and hit it. The reboot. Might not but the CWR instructions above shoudl work for you.
Well I changed the recovery version using the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 and then used the OneClickRoot and was able to get the update installed (I think). The phone booted up normally, I noticed that SU Permissions was installed so I figure I am rooted correct? WRONG. Rom toolbox says I am not. Is there another way to verify? Should I reinstall Rom toolbox incase it's just bugging out on me?
So I tried using Rom Manager too. Looks as tho SU is not installed correctly, will have to try again I guess.
Cannot install CWR, tried and the recovery text stays blue even after 14 times of reinstalling packages...
This phone will be sent flying across the room sometime tonight I'm guessing. About to erase the entire thing and try starting from scratch again. (Start from Eclair and work my way up maybe)
If you are willing to start from Eclair it would be soooo much easier that all this stuff.
Odin to stock, flash CWR from my signature, go from blue to green and then flash Fishman's Bionix and you are good to go. Simple and way easier than all this mess. Just download Fish's and put it on you SD card somewhere you'll remember. Once in green recovery just scroll to that ROM and flash it per OP.
We've just been trying to Root you since on your OP you said you didn't want to flash a custom ROM.
Well...I'm still trying to avoid flashing Roms (I've upgraded through MiniKies and that's it).
I've only been trying to root just to clean bloatware off but it seems that I must be lacking the technical skills to follow instrcutions properly....nothing is cooperating and even after following all steps nothing wants to work like it should.
Grrrr! One last try to get CWR working before I lose my mind and need to take a break/walk away for a bit.
Ok, so I'm currently back to stock Eclair (ew!!) and about to boot to recovery to install CWR. Wish me luck on that one....
Wooo, CWR up and running! Now I just have to work on a flash maybe or whatever steps were suggested next...I might try the ROM you suggested.
The ROM gets placed on external sdcard and installed from within CWR correct?
Do most ROMs remove bloatware and useless apps?
Yes and are pre-Rooted. Put the ROM.zip on either card. I have a folder that I use. Boot into recovery and get green recovery back. Go to install from SD, find the ROM and flash it per the OP instructions.
Bloat free, pre-Rooted and usually has Voodoo so you can get Voodoo Sound from the market and have a sonic ear-gasm.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help! I installed the suggested ROM last night and I am very happy with the results thus far. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. Flashing a ROM was MUCH more simpler than the root only decision. Thank you again!
My prime is stuck in the splash screen and I can't get it to go further than that. I've been reading and been told I can push the ROMs zip file with the adb push command. The zip I downloaded on my computer is in my downloads folder. What would I exactly need to put in the command window to push the zip to the internal memory of my prime?

Number 1, stick your ROM into the same folder that adb is in.
Number 2, read up about command line and terminal. (Trust me, you should do this)
Number 3, with your new found knowledge, push that file onto your internal storage. Example "adb push /ROM.zip /sdcard" !!!!!!
It's as simple as that sometimes.
The thing I don't get is what am I supposed to put on the adb push /ROM.zip /sdcard part

Run adb devices, this will let you know if your drivers are working correctly, you should get
Recovery and your devices serial number, then if your zip is named virtuous.zip the command line is,
adb push virtuous.zip /sdcard/
You put the name of the zip file in there to push, /sdcard/ puts it on your root directory.

Can you put it into cwm recovery ? When off hold volume down and the power button,
When little white letters come up, hit volume up, it should be in cwm when your adb pushing files, you can also try continuing to hold down on volume and then you get the three choices,
Android, USB, wipe data, it may push in the USB choice, read in the development section how
to unbrick your transformer prime, hopefully its a soft brick.

Yeah when I try to push the file its in CWM and I type adb devices it recognizes it in recovery and the serial. I put adb push Primalicious_9.4.2.21._Final.zip /sdcard/ enter and it says no such file. Is it supposed to be in a specific folder or am I doing something wrong? I already unbricked it I just need to load the ROM

The rom zip file should be in the directory where your adb.exe is. So if its in say
Program files/android/tools that's where you need to put the zip, otherwise it won't know
Where it is.

Yes that's right, you may want to rename it prime.zip, cause it may be .zip.zip or something,
or it may be a zip inside a zip.

So rename the ROM prime.zip? And try that?

You need to put the full file name,
adb push primalicious.zip /sdcard/
That's just the example, put the correct name in and include .zip.
I changed the name to prime.zip so I tried adb push prime.zip /sdcard/ and adb push prime.zip.zip /sdcard/ and it says no files found

Do you have a backup to restore in cwm ? Or try to unmount /staging and mount /Data
In cwm and try
adb push prime.zip /data/local/
Otherwise I'm not sure why its not recognizing that file, I bricked my prime and someone in irc channel sent me a blob file, and he told me to push it to /data/local/
And it worked, I had to use win xp cause I couldn't get it to work on win 7, but your getting the correct response from adb devices, so I'm not sure,

FIX!! - How to adb a zip ROM through CWM!!!
Hello there, for the last few nights I was having the same issue as you. I bricked my tablet, fixed it, and then just got stocked on the recovery with no data on my SDCARD. After searching and searching for hours online I found your post last night. And after reading the comments from "dklue", i googled some more information about something very important that me and you were missing!: "Blob files".
The "Primalicious_9.4.2.21._Final.zip" file or the "AOKP.zip" file will not work just like that because they are not in the format to be "Pushed" using the push command (At least thats what i kinda realized lol) anyhow, so i went online and searched for a ROM on Blob format and luckily i found the following!:
[ROM][WW][US][9.4.2.21] Primeval: The STOCK stock rom
So here is what worked for me thanks God! lol (Keep in mind that for some reason this process did not work for me on the new "CWM Touch Recovery 5.8.1.8" I actually had to downgrade my CWM to the 5.5.0.4 Version, you can download it from here:
androidroot . mobi / 2012 / 02/22/introducing-cwm-for-asus-transformer-prime/ --> WITH NO SPACE in between!
Here is how to Install the CWM file on your prime:
1. Get fastboot from that website, and extract it.
2. Download the blob file (tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob), and put it in the same folder as where you extracted fastboot.
3. Power off your prime.
4. Boot with Volume-down pressed. Wait when you see text appearing. The prime will then allow you to start “fastboot” -> USB ICON.
5. Open up a command-line prompt, and navigate to where you extracted fastboot with “cd”.
6. Enter the following commandline to flash recovery: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob
7. Reboot
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyhow, so after you have that version installed:
1. Download "ROOTED 9.4.2.21 CWM compatible signed US version"
d - h . s t / r 4 4 -> WITH NO SPACE! (This is from the Primeval: The STOCK stock rom) Thread.
2. EXTRACT IT to the same directory where your ADB is! We only need the BLOBFILE from that zip folder!
3. Once you have the files extracted just run the following on your Command line:
adb push blobfile /sdcard/ ---> Its going to look like its not doing
nothing but dont worry its doing it in the background after 401 or some
seconds the command line will returned to you with a message like this:
1275kb, dadadada...
4. VERY IMPORTANT!: enter:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/blobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
(Same as the previews step it will take forever but it will work dude!)
5. DONE! at least this is what worked for me man!
Im so happy now my Asus is freaking Brand NEw again! i was JUST about to through this garbage away but im so happy "dklue" gave me the BLOB concept idea! heheheh i guess i learned something new now..

I'm stuck on number 3 of part 2. It's been doing nothing for about 20 minutes now. Should I keep waiting?
Basically i went to flash a Rom in my phone, one of the requirements for the Rom was to format system. Not looking I, formatted SD card instead. Erasing my backup i had just made, and whipping the Rom that I was about to flash. So, what I need help with is seeing if anyone know a way to flash a Rom to my phone while in recovery, or is there a way to mount my SD Card memory while in Fastboot or recovery? I'm just looking to be able to flash any Rom in my phone to at least get it able to be used again.
CWR had an option to mount the sd card under mounts and storage. I say had because that was on my dinc2. I'm not rooted on my DNA so I don't have a custom recovery to check for you but this is how I did it in the past.

Not to fret, ran into this problem last night. Both of our recoveries allow for adb sideload but ithasn't worked for me (maybe it will for you)
If it doesn't work, you can drop whatever ROM you want into your ADB folder. To make things simple, just change the name of the ROM to DNA. Go into your recovery and then cd to your adb tools from a command window. type in adb push dna.zip /sdcard/ and it'll move it to your internal storage. It takes awhile so be patient :good:

Okay quick question, well questions. When typing in my adb commands, do my phone need to be in fastboot, if not when you say it needs to be in recovery do it need to be in recovery with it mounted some how or just in recovery in general. Sorry if i'm being a complete noob, but being phone less is killing me

No problem, we all have to start somewhere. I'll give a bit of clarification.
Fastboot is a way of accessing the Android system from the bootloader, such as flashing system and boot.img's or recovery files, meaning you can't be booted into the system when you want to use Fastboot.
ADB is the android debugging bridge and can be used at just about any time your phone is booted. For the average user, it's mainly a tool to push and pull files. So, in this case since you need to push the ROM to your phone.
I'm not sure if this can be done from the bootloader since it's going to your internal storage, so you need to boot into your recovery. Once there, you don't need to do anything. just make sure that the .zip is in your ADB directory. Open up a command prompt, cd to your adb tools, then use adb push insertfilename.zip (Like I said, rename it to dna to make it easy) so the command looks like adb push dna.zip /sdcard/ This takes awhile depending on the file size (UKB took about 5 minutes, I think. Maybe longer.) so just be patient. If it gives you any type of error, just try again. Hope this helps
