How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery for Nook Color (Boots via microSD Card)

This video will teach you how to get ClockworkMod Recovery for your rooted Nook Color.

Links used in the video:

ClockworkMod Recovery: http://tsunade.net/nookdev/clockwork/0.1-ext4/
(If you have a 128MB microSD card, make sure you don't download the root pack one. Download the clockwork one.)

WinZip: http://download.winzip.com/winzip150.exe

Win32DiskImager: http://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/0.1/0.1/+download/win32diskimager-REL...


Extra stuff...

I prefer having CWR on a microSD card rather than internal storage for a wide variety of reasons. The biggest reason is that CWR on internal storage overrides the standard way of unrooting the Nook Color. Once you install it onto internal storage, you cannot unroot using the 8x reboot method anymore. There is a way to restore it, but it's just a hassel... so just don't do it.

However, if you would still like to get CWR on your internal storage, download ROM Manager from the Android Market and Install CWR from that app. If you do this, be forewarned that it gets rid of the regular unrooting process. (Reboot 8 times, etc)

Did I tell you that it gets rid of the regular unroot method?

Husker...I can't seem to get Win32DiscImager to upload from the link you provided. Maybe it's something on my end, b/c I've even tried it from other links and it keeps popping open the "Thank you for trying WinZip" trial box??? Any ideas here??

[huskermania]

@mullaneyrm Works for me on all my computers. I'd uninstall WinZip and install 7zip.

[Kathleenhenri]

So I am curious to know if one did install CWR onto the internal storage, where or how would they find out how to restore it the hassle (hard) way?

[huskermania]

@Kathleenhenri It's such a pain in the long run it's not worth it.

[ReaganSmash3000]

any idea if this will work on a 16GB Sd?

i have a small pile of those around...

[huskermania]

@ReaganSmash3000 Yeah, but I think it will only make 8GB available.

Are you supposed to format system and format data after doing it this method? Not sure what to do once installed. Sorry.

@lexig2004 Thanks for the response. I am thiiiiiiiiiiis close to getting a tablet. I should've just waited!

[lexig2004]

@Tonia682 I had my cousin do it for me. It was cool but not what I thought it would be so I took it back and got a tablet.

[Tonia682]
