Any ROM that is stable with the Nook Color on SD I and still can be downloaded 2018?

In search of the same thing. I've got the BNRV200A what about yourself?

Same boat here.
Found out factory reset. Power on, let go and (almost?) immediately hold power and "n" for about 6 seconds like I had read elsewhere.
I end up letting them go before the "read anywhere" text disappears.

All CyanogenMod seems to be down, in favor of LineageOS?
Not sure if I need ClockworkModRecovery (CWMR) depending on which OS I want.
I see Froyo mentioned a lot, but not sure if those sources are old as well.
That being the android version 2.2 that matches what the Barnes & Noble OS is built on top of.

Found a good guide, old or not, that goes through those and ideas. I'll probably stick to SD card installation when possible and not the eMMC route.

Can't seem to find the download off their site which lists devices, but can find the names here: https://stats.lineageos.org/model/encore

Found one here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120722662
Not the latest version is seems: lineage-14.1-0407_1436-DrM-encore-udb.zip
with this being the latest I have found: 14.1-0705_1045-DrM-encore-udb

It seems to get anything started we need adb access to install CWMR in order to install other OSes, and for that, one would need the Windows drivers for the Nook Color: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882751

So I am out of luck for Macs. adb root responds "Error: no devices found".

After a successful adb, some commands: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078855

If I get that working, I would continue with the Rec images form the instructions in the CM13 thread, and somehow with LineageOS files. The CyanogenMod (CM) file seems easier to picture without having completed the process yet, as that is simply an image file to write directly to the SD card.
I guess LineageOS would install from zip which I'm guessing is what I need CWMR



A nice vanilla ASOP / Android install might be recommended as well, as that seems to already be ready into a format for burning directly to the SD card, and for the Nook Color to boot off of without any internal modifications or previous PC preparations: https://www.lifewire.com/turn-nook-color-to-android-tablet-2740672

I would like to turn my Nook into a simple android tablet for web surfing etc and have tried to find any coherent install instructions with download links that still work but so far failed. Given how old the Nook hardware is I do not want to spend money on any ready made image.

I do not care so much what flavor of ROM to use as long as Web browser, Youtube and the Android marketplace works so I can install some basic apps.

Anybody that can point me to a good guide?

I found a YouTube video today that included all three links that seemed to be dead everywhere you go in order to put CyanogenMod on nook color. I followed the directions downloaded the links and what do you know? I now have a nook color Android. Whybe97814@gmail.com drop me an email if you want me to find out what the YouTube video was and share the link with you

Why not just post a link here. I've been trying to find everything needed.

I'm looking for CM10 or 11 + the appropriate Gapps. anyone have any luck finding links that aren't dead?

I would really like any information on this as well. I have an early ROM on my Nook Color already, but I think it's an eMMC.

What I used, back in 2016...

I've got a NookColor and had successfully rooted the NookColor (Encore) with CM. I haven't really touched it since then, but I wanted to see if I could use it for anything else, or get a small OS on it to use it as a Calendar, Weather and such, or see about using the screen with a Raspberry PI 3b or a MiSTer and such for any other projects.

Here's a link to what I used, I don't remember the process (If I can find the links, I'll post them). However, here are files I have and used.

Heres a link to the encore cyanogenmod page on web archives.

and acclaim if you have a nook tablet

BUT! i would not suggest flashing gapps as it basically makes it unusably slow, use apkpure or micro g. i would also suggest enabling stage fright video in the build.prop, less battery drain on youtube/youtube vanced.

Did anyone get this working? I have the BNRV200A running Nook 1.4.3 OS. I haven't found a way to get the SD Card to boot to recovery to install CM. All the CWM .img files don't get it to boot to recovery, only to the normal Nook OS.

Yes I am running kitkat right now.
Bnrv200a? I'm not 100% sure if that's a different model or just a typo, but the nook color eyeballer sd image is here,
SD: http://tinyw.in/0Vw
Emmc: https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2746421&d=1400215845

Make sure to flash the eyeballer image with win32diskimager.
Then here is a link (windows) that will show you how to restore the SD card to its original state after flashing the eyeballer image with win32diskimager

Yes, BNRV200A. It's a Nook Color. I tried the 1 gb eyeballer and can't get it to recovery boot. Not sure if I tried the Emmc, but I think so. Will look at when I get home. Using a 16 gb SanDisk sd. Thanks so much.

Oh, it is the BNRV200A, I thought it was just Bnrv200 :silly: I'm not sure why its not working, what speed is it? I was using a class 10. And after you flash the image the computer should that the SD card is smaller than it really is. And you flash the Emmc after you boot into the clockworkmod SD image, it installs on the internal storage.

Edit: sorry, it's been forever since I rooted my nook. The first install you are supposed to flash this, https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2787369&d=1402239353, to the SD card, and put any roms or gapps on the same SD card, the image on the SD card will automatically flash whichever cm rom you put on the SD card plus gapps if you put them on there, which I do not recommend, because it shows down the device a lot

So I tried flashing this and the eyeballer 1gb and neither would boot into recovery or install anything. Just boots to Nook OS again. Were you using Nook OS 1.4.3 when you did the flash/installs?

SD card is actually 16 gb, class 2, Samsung. Only thing that has booted into recovery was the img/zip here, but it was not for Nook Color, and the size limit after flash was 90 mb.

Oh, ?um, try a class 4 or above.
I always found it funny that to root a Nook Color you need a class 4 or abov but fon a Nook HD you need a class 4 or below?

Gosh, I hope that will fix it. I tried this 2 gb SanDisk, but it's from 2004 I think and who knows what class. Didn't work either. Will have to find another one somewhere.

Okay, I used a class 10 32 gb sd. Still nothing. Same result. Thank you though. Any other ideas?

So yea, apparently I'm a complete idiot and have a Nook Tablet not a Nook Color after all. Well, there goes 15+ hours of my life I will never get back :highfive:
