Trying to flash CWM recovery from CWM on my SD and it doesn't seem to be installing it
More info please.... no clue what you mean by flash CWM from CWM....
ah oops, trying to flash CWM Recovery (from SD card) from ROM manager, says successful but I still have the default recovery on my SD card (I think perhaps it installed to emmc?)
I am trying to flash CM Recovery onto the Nook Color but I keep getting a "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your SD card is inserted and has space". I have a stable internet connection and my SD card is now empty. Why is this happening? I just did this on a different Nook Color last week with no problems...
Please help me understand the usefulness of a post about CWM that doesn't have any links to the CWM files?
Can someone please link them?
Can someone please link them?
Sorry I found them already thanks. Just think the link to where to download them in the OP would be awesome. Not everyone has access to Rom Manager.

Without having already flashed CWM this thread/post doesnt make it very clear. Any pointers as what to do first with a fresh NC1.4 straight outta the box. Thanks..
If you are talking about rooting a new NC, then you need to read the other threads based on what type of method/rom you want to use. I personally use CM7 on eMMC (installed to internal system on NC with no SD card required for boot). Here is the start thread on that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
But make sure to look at the different methods to ensure you are getting what you want/expect from rooting the NC.
Thank a bunch! For someone coming on here with a NC, the steps involved are about the most unorganized ive ever seen on XDA! And yes, I do want to run CM7 (whichever can get me running a basic Android setup w/ Amazon apps and market) that is stable and i can update without doing major surgery... Ive been rooting/flashing phones for years and fairly proficient.
This guy brought me his Nook Color that he tried to put CM7 on, but it wouldn't work. I spent a couple hours trying to get it to work. Turns out, he didn't have the updated CWM, I couldn't even get the thing back to stock. I finally figured out how to make an updated bootable SD card with 3.2.0.1 by searching all over hell, but it really sucks that the only instructions in here say go to ROM manager and install from there. He claims that his SD card worked fine to install CM7 on another nook, but I have my doubts.
These are the instructions that I followed to make a new SD card.
Once I did that, I had it up and running in about 5 minutes. I wanted to do it from the start, but he insisted. I knew better than to listen to him.

66CWM has been updated officialy to 3.2.0.1! See the Changelog and FAQ below for more information!
Changelog:
- 3.0.0.5 - Initial official release for the nook. Only supported ext3. Had bootloop errors with the 1.1.0 update. (Note: Unofficial builds supported ext4 but not both at the same time)
- 3.0.0.6 - No significant changes to 3.0.0.5 officially. (Note: Unofficial builds supported ext3 or ext4 but not both at the same time)
- 3.0.0.8 - Broken build. Blame the samsung phones for messed up additions.
- 3.0.0.9 - Adds official support for ext4 as well as compatability for ext3. (i.e. No need to swap recovery for different ROMs). Fixes "Always boots into recovery" with 1.1.0 updated u-boot.bin
- 3.0.1.0 - Adds support to for /sd-ext to recovery.
- 3.0.2.8 - Sets /system to ext2. You can now backup and restore your stock roms! Delete/Update all 3.0.0.5 threads to point to 3.0.2.8 for all rom types. Rom Manager now pushes a recovery kernel as well as the ramdisk!! No need to manually install recovery kernel. Just flash the lastest from RomManager and you are done!
- 3.2.0.0 - Support for newer nooks with the 5G /data parition! New .32 kernel is included which fixes the freezing after formatting /data! (/data format issues. Don't Use)
- 3.2.0.1 - Fixes a bug with 3.2.0.0 (actually a build issue) where ext3 (/data and /cache) wouldn't be formatted properly (they were but CWM was bombing out)
*Recommended *
RomManager can now push the recovery kernel. No need to manually install via CWM or ADB! Flash from RomManager and rock and roll.
Q: Why should I upgrade?
Q: But I have CWM <insert older version> I am good right?
Q: I used RomManager to install CWM but now i can't use backup or restore
Q: I upgraded CWM and now my market doesn't work.
Q: I have upgraded but now I am having issues?
Q: How do i grab the recovery.log?
6Flashable zip for version 3.0.1.0
I made something for those that don't want to mess with adb and mounting partitions:
http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/clockwork/cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip
Flash this using your current CWMR (either eMMC or bootable SD version will work). It will put the latest recovery image + kernel on your eMMC boot partition. You can launch to it as normal by choosing reboot to recovery in CM7 or by holding NOOK button + PWR at boot.
-Muffin5Ok, here's a guide to flash CWM 3.0.1.0 onto the eMMC.
1: If you do not have any version of CWM on your eMMC. Meaning you never EVER installed it ever.
Step 1: create a bootable CWM SD-card. It doesn't matter what version of CWM. You can use the images from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Step 2: Download the Flashable .zip of CWM 3.0.1.0 from the first post of this thread.
Step 3: Copy said .zip file onto the root dir. of your bootable CWM SD-card
Step 4: Boot to SD-card
Step 5: Flash the .zip file
Done
2: If you have installed a previous version of CWM on your eMMC (such as 3.0.0.6) or tried to install CWM via Rom-manager, again on your eMMC. And now you cannot boot into CWM via pwr+home. OR when you boot the eMMC(internal) and have anything other than 'touch the future of reading' as the first splash screen.
Step 1: Have a bootable CWM SD-card, any version will work.
Step 2: Get the recovery repair flashable .zip from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958748
Step 3: Boot to SD-card
Step 4: Flash recovery repair .zip
3: If 2 did not work for you. AKA you still cannot boot into CWM on the eMMC with pwr+home.
Step 1: Have a bootable CWM SD-card, any version will work
Step 2: Get the CWM root-safe removal tool from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Step 3: Get the CWM 3.0.1.0 flashable .zip from the first post of this thread.
Step 4: Get the kernel for your specific system from dalingrin's thread, which is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451
Step 5: boot CWM SD-card
Step 6: Flash CWM root-safe removal tool
Step 7: Flash CWM 3.0.1.0 .zip
Step 8: Flash your specific kernel you got on step 4.
Step 9: Reboot
2 and 3 also will fix most 'stuck at 'n' screen' and 'stuck at 'touch the future of reading''
I hope this clears everything up.2
It seems that some people may have replaced their u-boot.bin at some point to a version that will not boot into recovery.
Try grabbing a u-boot.bin from the official 1.1.0 update and use adb to push that to your /boot partition.2
The first post has the code to mount the boot partition. Then just push the u-boot.bin over.
EDIT: try
Code:adb shell busybox mount / -o rw,remount adb shell busybox mkdir /boot adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot adb pull /boot/u-boot.bin u-boot.bin.bak adb push u-boot.bin /boot/u-boot.bin adb shell busybox umount /boot
