error 8

Okay. I got the CWR flashed onto a 1GB card. Flashed new miui rom. Keep getting the force close and cant get anyhting done at all. Cant even sign into gmail account or access market. I went and got an 8 mb micro sd and tried writing the CWR onto it but cant get it done. I am trying to reboot into recovery to try another ROM. No matter what i do i cannot get back into recovery to save my life. I have formatted the 8gb card. Made sure i had a good download of CWR. Heck i even tried to use the 1gb card to get into recovery but it wont work either. Tried to write the card with the flashable CWR and still wont work. Keep on gettting the error 8 message. Something like: Error occured when attempting to lock the volume. Anyone got any suggestions. Please help. Thanks

Okay. So i figured it out. Instead of using Winrar to write the .img file to the sd card (becasue i got error after error and couldnt get it to work). I instead just extracted the 1GB file straight to the 8GB SD card and I'll be damned if it didnt work! Like a champ. Easy as pie. Doing it the other way was like going around the barn to scratch your a$#. Just thought i'd share. Thanks

I got the image to write to the SD Card just fine but my NC doesn't even acknowledge it when booting. The OP says this might not work with newer devices. Is there an alternate recovery image that I can use?

Thanks for responding!

I used winimage and it took about 10 mins to format the 4GB version onto my card. Any other possibilities?

Hey I don't know of anyone is still around but I keep getting a error using either way. Winimager or the other. I am about to lose my mind!

If you are using a built in card reader... try getting a cheap usb card reader and create the card... you'd be surprised.

I can get it to boot into recovery but get errors stating that it cant mount /cache/recovery. It wont mount sd card either so I cant flash a new ROM onto my nonworking NC. Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy!

I was helping you in the other thread. I understand why eyeballer's CWM is not mounting /cache since /cache is on internal memory and obviously your internal partitions are messed up. What I don't understand is why sdcard will not mount since that is on the SD itself. Anyone else have any ideas?

I totally agree, I'm currently trying to get adb working but on windows 8 and not too familiar with adb. Hope I can figure it out.

    Edit edit edit edit: I sold my Nook Color in the summer of 2012. If there is anything you need me to edit into this top post I am happy to. Thanks!

    Edit edit edit: I still own a Nook Color but I will not be actively editing this thread anymore. Here is the gist of it: You take any bootable Clockwork SD card, paste over the uRecImg and uImage files as needed for newer versions of CWM, and now you have an updated card. I was advised to warn you guys that the 3.0.x.x versions of CWM are not compatible with newer NC devices that have different partition tables. I was also asked to post the following:

    Download 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 sdcard image from here. MD5 of .zip: 1319739d33642ed860e8044c3d55aa56. (I made this based on work in this thread. credit: to cmstlist and DizzyDen, and kevank for hosting). You really only need the 1gb image ... no matter what the size of your card is. A smaller image will burn faster, and when you're done with the guide you can reformat the card anyway.

    But I do want to point I disagree with the statement that "you really only need the 1GB image"... I use my CWM SD to make nandroid backups before major changes, so it makes a difference to have the full size of your SD available.

    ---- end of edit. Happy hacking!

    I just wanted to report that I was able to take files from two different threads and use them to create a bootable SD card with ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0 and now 3.0.2.8. The advantage of this version is that it works for both ext3 and ext4 ROMs. I successfully flashed an ext4 version of Honeycomb and then restored back to my nandroid backup of auto-nooted Eclair.

    EDIT: Direct links to 3.0.2.8 bootable images here: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/
    Source of those files is this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13283643&postcount=34

    NEW INSTRUCTIONS
    1) Obtain the image for your SD card size here, containing any version of CWM:
    (This link is now broken.)
    http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/
    (source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922870)

    2) Obtain the correct uImage and uRamdisk files for CWM 3.0.2.8. The way I did this was to flash CWM 3.0.2.8 from ROM Manager and then mount my /boot partition to copy out the files uRecImg and uRecRam. But for the benefit of those of you here who can't flash CWM successfully, I've attached the files here.

    3) Burn the SD card as instructed. Leave the SD mounted in your computer afterwards.

    4) Rename your copy of the new uRecImg to uImage and replace the uImage file on the SD.
    Rename your copy of the new uRecRam to uRamdisk and replace the uRamdisk file on SD.

    5) Eject the SD from your computer, pop it into your Nook Color, reboot and verify that you indeed manage to boot into the new desired version of ClockworkMod. Upon completion I had a bootable 3.0.2.8 SD card.

    OLD INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
    I haven't seen anyone here post an SD image for 3.0.1.0, so here is what I did instead:
    1) Obtain the image for your SD card size here, containing CWM 3.0.0.5 at time of writing:
    http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/
    (source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922870)

    2) Also get the newer version of ClockwordMod in .zip format:
    3.0.1.0 is here: http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/clockwork/cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip
    (source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971197)

    3) Burn the SD card as instructed. Leave the SD mounted in your computer afterwards.

    4) Unzip the files uRecImg and uRecRam from the newer CWR zip.
    Rename uRecImg to uImage and replace the uImage file on the SD.
    Rename uRecRam to uRamdisk and replace the uRamdisk file on SD.

    5) Eject the SD from your computer, pop it into your Nook Color, reboot and verify that you indeed manage to boot into the new desired version of ClockworkMod.

    Enjoy!

    EDIT: Post #4 below contains IMG files created using this method for ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0. Thanks to DizzyDen.

    NOTE: 3.0.2.8 uSD images.

    All credit goes to OP... all I did is updated the original uSD files with OP's results....

    I renamed them to *.3.0.2.8.img to distinguish which version of CWR image and ramdisk files are being utilized. I also compressed to rar to distinguish these are not CWR flashable zip files.
