I'm having a strange problem that i hope someone can help with. I can get froyo installed to internal memory fine. it runs fine until i put an sd card in. If i put an sd card in it sees it and mounts it fine but if i turn off the nook for any reason it will not turn back on. If i turn the nook off before i put the card in it will restart fine. But once i put the card in the first time once i turn it off it will no longer start and i have to do a complete restore and start over again. I tried taking the the card out before i turn it off but that produced the same results. So basically the first time it mounts the sd card i can no longer turn the nook off if i want it to start again. Any suggestion besides just never turning it off.
[HOW-TO] [NEW VERSION] Install Nookie Froyo to Internal Memory
- Thread starter Will Shanklin
- Start date
Is that card an auto-nooter rooting card? Because it would look like it wasn't booting (as it would be trying to root) and it could very well mess things up and require a restore.
No its an empty card. What I have been doing is after I get froyo installed to the internal memory I have been formating the card I was using to get froyo installed. It seems to work fine until I tunr the nok off and then it will not restart even if I take the card out. I'm going to pick up another sd card today and se if using a different card helps but I was just curious if anyone else was having any sort of similar problem.
I had the probelm but only once, not repeatedly and soon after I decided to go to stock w/ root. Have you tried adb reboot and see if the same thing happens? I know after I experienced the lock up I used adb and terminal emulator to reboot so I didnt have to actually turn the nook off.
Tried that and i get the same results. It shuts down and never reboots. I tried a brand new sd card and got the same results also. It just seems like whatever i do as soon as i put an sd card in, the nook will no longer come back on if i turn it off.
Maybe you have something corrupted in one of the files you are using or something you're modifying after the root. Try redownloading all the files and images, double check any system files you modified by hand and triple check your steps every step of the way... that's all I got.
From reading some of the threads in the xda developers forums it looks like the problem is you can't put an unformated card in the nook or let the nook format the card. You need to format the card in another android device before you put it in the nook. If you try to mount an unformated card or try to format a card on the nook it messes something up and causes the nook not to reboot. So i'll just make sure to format the card in my phone first and that should solve the problem.
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here? I have an identical problem to zuko -- I also did the same thing and tried to re-use the SD card. Guess we've found a glitch here.
I started from a stock 1.1 nook and just created a ClockWorkMod bootable SD with this ROM. Installed and rebooted. Removed SD card because it kept booting back into ClockWork.
Today, was attempting to get the Nook to work via ADB and I removed the SD and formatted it, I figured I was all internal now anyway.
Got the nook to shut down but now it refuses to power back up (was at 99% when I shut it down). Black screen, no power when I tap power button, hold power button for 20 seconds, etc. Tried with USB cable plugged to PC as well as plugged into wall.
The reason I shut it down was that Windows 7 was not seeing the nook, only as a drive to write to but not a device.
What did I do wrong, and how can I get my nook back? Is there even a way?
Those who have it working -- What do you do with the SD card you used to flash nookie? Leave it in and unusable? Remove it and put in a different card? Format the SD card on PC (Fat32? NTFS?) then place it back into nook?

Zuko, or anyone...
I'm trying just to go back to stock or restart with a fresh SD card but I can't even get my Nook to power back on at all - I re-created the SD card. What's the trick here or do I have a brick on my hands? Help!?!?

creating a bootable SD card (Nookie Froyo or Clockwork) should get it going again. Insert the card and hold down power. If the screen doesn't flash after 15 - 20 seconds release and try again.
If you used Nookie Froyo you can ADB the restore to stock files or Nookie Froyo EMMC files to the card and start over. Sorry but I havent played with the Clockwork image.
Thanks for the reply. Here's where I am at.
1. Nook is not booting without an SD card inserted.
2. Downloaded this bootable Clockworkmod Recovery SD card image. Unzip it using WinRAR or something similar.
3. Used dd (Mac) to burn the image onto the 8 GB SD card.
4. Dragged flashable Nookie 0.5.9 into the root directory of the SD card (sdcard/)
5. Inserted SD card and booted nook. Without it, nook would not boot. Got to clockwork main menu.
6. Under "mounts and storage," selected "format system."
7. Under "mounts and storage," selected "format data."
8. Under "mounts and storage," selected "format boot."
8. Back to main menu, selected "install from zip file".
9. After install completed, removed SD card.
10. Selected reboot. Nook now sits at black screen and will not boot with power button, reboot also did not work.
I might start another thread as well to see if anyone else has had this issue. I'm sort of at a loss here. I can get it to boot from the SD card but the thing just refuses to boot from internal anymore.
The only thing I can think of here is that I can't go right to flashable nookie? That I have to install it on top of a base rooted system or a stock system?
Any ideas? I've done this 4 times now...

Memory issues
I installed maybe 4 apps, and now trying to install the "essential" Nook app from the market, it says out of memory... others having issues? workaround to get it from SD card?
To help others, the usb tool is best used via device manager and "update driver" rather than the install package as it wasnt working for me.

OK I need help.
I flashed Nookie onto the internal memory and that worked fine. Now, adb won't recognize the device, and I did the usb drivers more than 5 or 6 times. Also, it won't recognize my sd card. I have a 16gb if that makes a difference.
Help????

So I just downloaded and dropped the new Nookie Froyo Flashable zip to my SD and tried booting into recover via CMR , no matter what I do it keeps rebooting back into Nookie Froyo, I also tried chosing flash rom from SD and clicking on wipe data, it still reboots back into nookie. I also even re flashed CMR multiple times with no luck.
Any ideas? Is there another way to force the nook into recovery mode?

If you're already in Nookie, you can't flash Clockwork from ROM Manager - I forgot that before but just edited OP to included this. Just burn CWR to an SD and boot into it from there.
Will, thanks for all your work in this forum.
Regarding your recent update to the OP, I'm finding the following step to be confusing:
So, you are saying to unzip the zip in such a way that it places a directory called "system" into my existing "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" directory? (I recently re-installed the SDK from scratch, and no "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\system" directory exists currently.)
I think you are saying that a directory called "system" was used in "the previous section" to install Nookie. But I don't see anything in the first part of the OP that references the SDK or ADB in any way. It looks like the previous section only asked you to use Clockwork to flash a file that you have placed on your SD card. I'm confused as to how those steps relate to this "system" folder.
Also, while I'm sure this goes without saying, you might want to mention that none of the OP can be done without first rooting the NC. (Assuming that this is indeed the case.)

Much thanks, I was just re reading the OP and wondering to myself, did I really not read that earlier? Thanks again, great work and much appreciated
That part about the previous folder named system was from the old directions. Everything else is the same. So yes, unzip the folder called system into your adb folder.
You know, I actually don't think you need to be rooted, since you can boot into Clockwork from the SD. Rooting would only affect the B&N ROM, which is completely unrelated.
