• Before you begin:
  • To update to 1.2 you must do a complete wipe.
  • You must update to 1.2 to use ManualNooter Instructions Here.
  1. You must already have a registered NOOKcolor
  2. You must have a Google Account, for Gmail, Market, Etc. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
  3. CWM Bootable from SD Card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735 - You should always use the Latest CWM Version
     • OR emmc CWM Recovery Installed
  4. You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
• 1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16.
• Let's get started:
  • If you're running a previous MN you do not need to do a complete wipe.
  1. Download ManualNooter from here:
     ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip - 1.3 Only
     ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip
  2. Copy onto your flashable CWM SD card using Windows Explorer, OS X Finder, etc.
     • See step 3 above for how to make a flashable CWM card.
     • DO NOT extract the zip file. It MUST be left as-is.
     • DO NOT copy the zip file into a folder. Leave it at the top directory of your card
  3. Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
  4. Turn off your NookColor (If turned on.)
  5. Insert Flashable CWM SDcard with ManulNooter into your NOOKcolor.
  6. Plug the USB cable into your computer and your NOOKcolor. (This will boot up the NOOKcolor.)
     • If using Flashable CWM SDCard this should boot you into recovery.
     • If using eMMC CWM Recovery instead of SD CWM Recovery, boot to recovery.
  7. When CWM boots select the update using your Volume Keys and n button:
     • - install zip from sdcard (Volume up 4 times, then n)
     • - choose zip from sdcard (Volume down 1 time, then n)
     • - manualnooter-4-x-x.zip (Hit volume up until you get to it, then n)
       • 1.3 needs to run 4.5.18 before 4.6.16
     • - Confirm that you really want to run the update.
       • Selecting this indicates that you take responsibility for your own actions.
  8. Wait patiently and follow onscreen directions.
     • If you get "Install Failed" after rebooting out of CWM this can be normal. Just reboot again.
  9. After reboot and unlocking your device select Zeam Launcher.
  10. Run Fix Permissions from Rom Manager - 1.3 Only after running 4.6.16
      
  11. Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service/Sign In.
      • If you get a full application list, you're done!
      • You may not have to Accept Terms and Service or Sign In if you're updating from a previous MN version.
      • If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted.
  12. Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
      • If you want to revert your card to a "usable" state.
  13. Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
  14. This will wipe your SDCard of all MN/CWM Flashable abilities. If you use this you will have to reflash the SDCard for future MN releases.

• Complete Wipe:
  1. 8 Failed Boots > Wipes /system
  2. Factory Reset > Wipes /data
     • This will not work if you're using emmc Clockwork Mod Recovery
     • You must do both of these to completely wipe clean your NOOKcolor.

For those of us on 1.2 with su busybox install ith most of this already in place including most of the gapps etc must we start over from scratch or can we just flash this over our current install with CWM?

From 1.2 Nook Color with root

This will replace su and it adds busybox to /system/xbin, everything else will just copy over something if it has the same name.

On the second step 4, what does "Insert Flashable CWM SDcard with ManulNooter into your NOOKcolor." mean? Please provide step by step instrucitons to make a flashable CWM SDcard.

There is a link in the preceding paragraph of the instructions on how to make the CWM card.

What version of CWM works?

---

Will 3.0.05 work or should I go to 3.0.1.0 or even 3.0.2.8?

Thanks for the great work.

Awesome so i can just flash it over

I'm assuming it's safe to use this with eMMC clockwork recovery?

If not no big deal, just one less thing i have to do if i can use my currently installed recovery

Manual Nooter isn't as step by step as AN because this expects you to already have some things before hand. Sorry. Working on the issues that stops me from being able to AutoNooter via CWM.

No clue, find out? If it works you'll be rooted, if not it shouldn't do anything.
