Question About Recoveries - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I have 5.5.0.4 on a micro SD and 6.0.1.3 internal via the flashable recovery in the SGT 7 + CM 10 post. The 6.0.1.3 has crashed on two different nandroid backups and so far appears to be ok on restore. The Micro SD recovery 5.5.0.4 has never crashed. Should I reflash 6.0.1.3 or just keep using the micro SD recovery?
Thanks,
Bill

I say go with whatever works best right now. I've been using the first ever CWM released for the NT since it was released and have had no problems. The only reason you'd really ever have to use a newer version is some users have reported flashing CM10 only works in the 6.x.x.x CWM versions.

I would go twrp 2.2.2.1 ext and leave 6.0.1.3 as it is :thumbup:

Agreed! I've been using TWRP (version 2.1.4, though) for a few months, and it hasn't ever had a single hiccough. It's flashed every ROM I've thrown at it without problems -- it's probably one of the most bullet-proof pieces of software I've ever used on a mobile device...

I also have been using the original CWM and have had no problems. I'm currently on CM10.

Hey Nikkie,
did you use the original CWM to flash the 3.x kernel, too?

[Q] Newbie 1.4.2

So I just rooted my NT and I was wondering what ROM I could flash?
I love Cyanogenmod but I can't find any that says 1.4.2.
Could I flash something with 1.4.0 or???
Thanks in advance.
Cyanogenmod is an entirely different beast from 1.4.2 or 1.4.0. Those two are versions of the B&N Android OS; Cyanogenmod is vanilla android.
On that note I'm not sure I understand your question. Have you already flashed cyanogenmod? Or are you only rooted and on 1.4.0?
I'm just trying to find where I can find the cm7 download for NT? 1.4.2
Edit: Flashes cm7 but how do I get the cwm on internal memory?? I tried the hold power button then restart in recovery but it fails...
Were you using the SD card method to boot into recovery and flash cm7 previously?

Yep. I was just wondering if the NT had internal memory cwm? sd card is nice but I rather have it on the NT.
Look for indirects app to install recovery. Its an apk that you can install while in cm7 and it will install cwm internally. Then you can boot into cwm from cm7.

"lost" my CWM backups...but not really?

I think I'm too inexperienced to be rom'ing on my everyday phone. I was running Team Objection lf5 and it was great except for google voice and MHL-out. So I decided to play with CM9. Now I cannot revert back to Objection? CWM recovery menu does not see ANYTHING on my external sd card. But when I pop the card into my laptop everything is still there, including all 3 of my CWM backup dates. What gives? I installed TWRP recovery to see if that was any different but it shows my backups as blank too. (Can TWRP even see/use CWM backup files anyways??).
So if the backups are there....how do you recommend I go about regaining access to them? Thank you in advance for saving my butt!
TWRP cannot use CWM backups and when u boot into CWM u should have an option to restore from internal memory or SD card, which is external. Try that

CWM gives me something like "directory not found" both when SD is mounted and unmounted.
Might be that CM9 is having terrible seeing the external. Put the backup on your internal.

This is true, it's only navigating the internal SD. BUT I can't mount the internal in CM9 to move the backups there. I'm stuck right?
No, flash a ROM, then move the backup on your phone, them restore the backup

Got it. I'm in CM9 right now. Got USB storage "working" in that it connects, but while copying my clockworkmod folder to the internal it will cause the phone to reboot each and every time. (4x so far). I'll keep trying but this was an absolute waste of a day.
External has been wonky on CM9, just flash another ROM, preferably tw based, so you can transfer the file, then restore your backup.

Holy crap the whole problem was incompatibility between CWM and CWMtouch versions. Never would have guessed, but then again I know so little that I thought the backups they create would be compatible. Thanks everyone for your help.
CM7 was/is great on my Incredible, but it appears I am not ready for CM9 on the Note. (With the bugs in CM9 I cannot believe people are asking for CM10 already, yikes). Then again, the is on my everyday, daily driver including work phone so I need every little thing to work right.

i must of got on the wrong board, i have the nook color, is there a similar thread for nook color
thanks
Probably but I'd suggest getting your fundamental understandings down first. Cwm is a custom recovery; the recovery is a completely separate partition on any device and that's why you can't just install an app. You could possibly find an app like ROM manager that you could install and from there flash CWM to the recovery partition.

Stuck in constant bootloop

I need help. The nook is stuck in boot loop. Can someone give nee simple instructions to go back to stock? Or anything to make the device operable? I'm a noob so the easier the better for me. Thank you very much if anyone might help. I can't get into cwm by connecting to computer or pressing power volume or the n. Help please

Can your nook boot from SD card at all? If so use the repart.img from the stock1.4.2 file on the raywaldo site.

If the sd card is in I can get to cwm. But there it's no more space on the card to put a Rom. It seems like the nook os is missing.

Once you boot into cwm, you can remove sdcard and put another one with zip file.
Cwm runs in ram.

Flashing from SD to internal drive

djd338 said:
Personally, I had trouble booting & running SD cards. I'm convinced it wasn't hardware but my noobness! Since then I've always loaded only to emmc. I also had trouble going directly & straight to CM10 roms from the B&N 1.4whatever OS.
So, looking for a recovery + rom that matched, I used Indirect's app to get cwm 5, then had no trouble loading a CM9 rom (all to emmc). Once CM9 was up & running good, I used Goo Manager to load an updated TWRP recovery suitable for CM10, then Cm10.1, etc. That's what worked for me & to this day I see no need to boot from SD's. Just me tho.

I'm currently running carbon ROM on my nook 8gb via SD card. If I was to download an internal version of a ROM would I be able to reboot to my twrp recovery on my SD card and somehow flash to the internal harddrive from there?

Alright. Once I flash to internal from my SD android I'll be able to just remove the SD card and run straight off the nook itself?

Yep, but once you flashed it will use the sdcard as default storage if you want to use the internal memory as default put this line in your build.prop under /system/build.prop (use root explorer or something like that)
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal 1
Paste it at the end of the file and you are done.

I've got a 16Gb SD card that I was trying to originally use but was having trouble setting up to do so. Could I just pop that in and use it for memory once I flash to internal? And also, if I was to back up my current build which is Carbon ROM, would I be able to restore to it once I flash to internal or would it not work since it was backed up through the SD build?

Once you change your recovery you must immediately make a backup using it. One recovery cannot access backups made by another recovery.
