UPDATE: Since some of you guys are still finding this useful, I updated the CWM version to 3.0.2.8. Please note that ROM Manager is the best way to install CWM 3.0.2.8. You should only need this .zip if you need to restore the B&N boot loader.
There are a number of CWM installable .zip files being distributed that break Clockworkmod in a way that Rom Manager will not fix. This .zip file will reinstall the B&N bootloader (to enable the recovery buttons) and install ClockworkMod on your internal memory. This .zip will only help if you have installed a "flashable" .zip and can no longer get into CWM by holding N + Power on boot.
This file can be installed with IOMonster's bootable CWM to re-enable the ability to use CWM without an SD card.
How to use:
1) Create a bootable CWM SD card from the link above.
2) Mount the SD card on your computer and copy the RecoveryFix.zip file to it.
3) Boot the Nook into CWM from the SD card.
4) Choose "install zip from sdcard"
5) Choose "choose zip from sdcard"
6) Browse to the RecoveryFix.zip and select it.
7) Choose "Yes - Install RecoveryFix.zip"
CWM should now work by booting and holding the N + Power buttons.
Technical details:
The bootloader (u-boot.bin) file included with the stock image has code to look for the recovery key sequence on boot. It also contains the "Touch the Future of Reading" splash screen. Some of the update .zip releases include a custom uboot.bin (to change the splash screen) that does not look for the recovery keys...so there's no way to boot into recovery without an SD.
Currently the only automated way to put the correct files back is by using one of the stock recovery .zips. These take the entire system back to stock though. All this .zip does is replace the stock u-boot.bin file, CWM uRecRam and CWM uRecImg files on the /boot partition. This can also be easily fixed by booting any image from an SD card and copying these files manually.
is this for use with any flashable rom or only certain ones? i'm on hcv4 and want to make sure this is safe to use before flashing it.
This worked fantastic! Thank you!

This is a standalone fix - its only necessary if you've flashed a rom and could no longer boot into CWM recovery afterward.
thanks again xawen!
Thanks so much for this! Great work!

It should work with any build. It does not replace any of the build specific files, just the boot loader and the recovery images.
Works on phiremod (CM7). I was stressing why I couldn't reach my internal recovery, but was too lazy to do any research on the matter. Just stumbled upon this and everything is fixed again
Just what I was looking for... thanks!

what do you mean by "everything is fixed again"?
I like phiremod and all, but no internal storage is irking me and I want to go back to rooted stock and try to make a CM7 bootable SD.
Flashed this, now I'm stuck on the "Touch the Future of Reading" splash screen. Running CM7 nightly latest, dalingrin's 1100MHz Overclock.
Edit: Trying to boot, won't get past that damn splash screen. Tried reflashing cm7-encore-full-5.zip, gapps, got nothing. Going to try flashing the overclock again and see if that helps.
Edit2: No dice. I don't have a backup, either. Guess I have to flash a whole new boot.img?
This should be stickied. There are a LOT of CWR files around here right now.

Same thing kept happening to me. I would hold down the power button or power+n button or power+volume up + n button to get the NC to shut down. Then, I'd press the power+volume up + n button for a few seconds; this would get it to boot into CWR. From CWR I'd select reboot system. After that it would have no problem fully booting (until the problem happeend again). I did notice that after a while the startup boot took longer. After pressing the power button to power on the NC it would take several seconds before the "touch the future of reading" screen to come up, and it would take several more seconds (30 or so) for it to get past that screen.
I'm not sure what the beneft is of doing this; as long as I have a CWR bootable microSD with me (always in the NC's case) I don't need this.

This .zip has the stock (B&N) u-boot.bin and the uRecRam and uRecImg for CWM 3.0.0.5. It was built a while ago to fix an issue with specific CMW installable Froyo .zip files that were being distributed. I haven't seen any CM7 images with this problem, but if anyone still has a need for this I can update to a current CWM version and post tonight.

Aha - I looked more closely and saw that it is an old thread that was brought to the surface by a "thanks" comment.
question
So I flash this fix and can get into CWM 3.0.0.5, then I flash the official CWM 3.0.1.0 and can no longer get into recovery. I also tried the manual procedure using adb. Still no dice.
What am I doing wrong?

Curses just used the stock 1.0.1 img an sideloading 1.1 as we speak -_-
This will be sooo much nice-er then having to set nook drivers back from adb to drag the update over.
Would it be plausible to cut /boot out of this (or something?) and flash it from the CWR on the eMMC?
This image is a life saver!!! Very nice. Kodos to all the parties that put this together.
Nice one, I'm grabbing this for when I start experimenting with stuff on eMMC
Process went well. During the first boot, got the rectangle with message failed to install but was fine after another reboot. About the disk capacity, i'm not sure why I only have 3.7 gig left? prior to running this image, I used to have the dual boot (regular 2.1 and the nokiefroyo). Any thoughts?

Quick question on this...is this the full update? I.E. if I have CWR installed in my recovery partition, will this replace it with stock recovery and system? Just wondering if this restores fully stock so that eight boot failures will reset the system again.
I know there are other posts on how to do this, but this seems the most convenient.

The eight failed boots should start the recovery procedure. I am not sure if it will work with your setup though.

Worked great! I had flashed my NC with Nookie Froyo. Everything was working well until one day when it just wouldn't turn on. The only way I could get it to boot was from an SD card. Threw this guy in and restored everyting back.
Thanks!
I was having constant problems with mine. It worked fine for several weeks after rooting, then one day it wouldn't boot past the n screen. After repeated attempts with some other stock roms I got it back to 1.0.1, updated to 1.1, then after rooting again I got stuck with it only booting to CWR. Pretty soon it was completely messed up again and wouldn't boot, and no amount of flashing seemed to help. I found this thread, and the second rom worked perfectly on the first try. Thanks so much.

Don't forget to wipe user data. That way when they power it on, it will go to the OOBE. Nevermind... I reread the OP, that is already in there.

Okay, i know the risks, but i hate amon ra for some reason.
I know i can install clockwork through rom manager but does anyone have the latest clockwork for the eris that i can fastboot to my phone? or is there a way to take it from rom manager after i download it?
Here you go: recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-desirec.img
If you want to have access to both when cold starting the phone here's a trick you can use:
ROM Manager puts a zip file named "recovery-update.zip" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder on your SD card; make a copy of it in the root folder (/sdcard/) .
Then, when you cold-boot into (Amon_RA) recovery, flash that file first and the clockwork menus will appear. This has the advantage that you will have both Amon_RA and clockwork available to you - that "flash" doesn't touch the recovery partition, it just patches the live boot - exactly what ROM Manager does when you "warm boot" into recovery from ROM Manager.
cheers
Yeah, as much as I like ClockWork Mod Recovery, I've never had one problem with it, and so on, I would never actually want to flash it; not when it's so easy to load from Amon RA as it is through ROM Manager.

whoa i didnt know that!!! i like it, thank you!!!
So, i am trying to load this new ROM (the Vicious rom). I go into clockwork recovery & select install zip from sdcard, then i choose zip from sdcard, & instead of loading the new rom it says: Finding Update package, opening update package, installing update package, then it is complete....how do i get it to load the rom?
additional info:
I cannot install any ROM now, it runs through this short update process I explained above. Am I missing something that allows the rom to be loaded?
That's how roms are installed. Did you reboot after you installed the rom?
i had issues with clockwork so i used team win recovery here-- http://www.mediafire.com/?ye85b3n1f72nen3
Maybe try this one and see if it helps just put on root of sd card
make sure it is named PG05IMG.ZIP go into the bootloader
by shutting down phone rstarting by holding down volume arrow then power till it comes up in bootloader and do the update

Either you are choosing apply sdcard:update.zip accidentially instead of "install zip from sdcard" or you still have a PG05IMG on your sdcard? If you still have that img on your card, you will have to hook your phone up to your computer > boot into recovery > mounts and storage > mount sdcard > enable usb and find that IMG and delete it. Then go back do your wipes, and install zip from sdcard.
Try redownloading the ROM in case it may have been corrupted during the original download.
CWM 5.8.0.9 for Huawei MediaPad
WARNING !!! DON'T FORMAT AND DON'T WIPE PARTITIONS USING THESE CWM !
I don't know how much this CWM version improves over the existing one by segler11.
However these build were more aimed at compiling and testing the new kernel sources.
I have tested compiling with both arm-eabi-4.4.0 and arm-eabi-4.4.3 with success on Ubuntu 10.04.
This is experimental, however with the new kernel sources it will just be a matter of time.
I have compiled the kernel included in this CWM recovery image but I didn't recompile the complete image.
I took as base Pyramid CWM 5.8.0.9 and I replaced the files from those found on a stock C232B005 kernel.
As the default build configuration I have used the /proc/config.gz of a C232B005 running kernel.
I have tested this CWM to be able to backup these partitions (I have not tested "restore" yet, just checked the tar archives):
boot.img - 12.582.912 (match 12Mb)
recovery.img - 16.777.216 (match 16Mb)
data.ext4.tar
cache.ext4.tar
system.ext4.tar
custom.ext4.tar
as you can see my hand tweaks to "recovery" require the name of "cust" partition to be "custom" instead but I believe this is a no issue while you backup and restore with the same CWM. Suggestions welcome.
BUGS:
data & time on archives are wrong
mount USB storage does not work
adb not enabled in recovery mode
Formats and Wipes do not work don't use them
The "busybox hwclock" applet doesn't work to set the hardware clock of our device.
The "adb shell" is not active while in CWM recovery, I don't know why and this was my objective so if you have suggestion please help.
As usual flash both "recovery" and "recovery2" partitions using "fastboot" and one of the attached CWM recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-5.8.0.9-HWMOD-eabi-4.4.3.img
fastboot flash recovery2 recovery-5.8.0.9-HWMOD-eabi-4.4.3.img
fastboot reboot

Thank you for trying it.
Remember to absolutely avoid formatting or wiping partitions.
If you need to format/wipe do it ONLY after reinstalling the original "recovery.img" in both "recovery" and "recovery2" partitions and then reset the device from:
"Settings -> Backup and reset -> Factory reset"
ATTENTION !!! You can safely do a wipe or factory reset only after reinstalling the original recovery image.
Sorry for insisting but I don't want to create problems on users devices and I know those operations will create problems.

Just a note: I used your 4.4.3 version to try making a nandroid backup last night. Good news and bad news.
This morning I inspected the result using the app Nandroid Browser.
Good: Your CWM does successfully backup /data/data. The other CWM that had been posted here did not do so properly.
Bad: Your CWM also backs up the entire internal SD storage contents inside the folder /data/share. It is customary *not* to include this in a nandroid backup because a) you don't want to inflate the file size unnecessarily, and b) you don't want to overwrite the internal SD on a restore.
Idea: After you fix it, and until you manage to get ADB over USB working, maybe you could add a menu option to make a separate backup archive of internal SD to external SD. This would allow a route to save the internal storage if the device becomes unbootable and requires a data wipe.

Thank you for trying it. I wanted to compile/test a kernel with new sources in a CWM.
Yes, in our device the internal memory "/mnt/sdcard" is also mapped under "/data/share".
Unfortunately I don't have the skills (yet) to build a complete recovery image from scratch,
so what I did was just compiling the kernel part of the recovery image, using the new sources.
Then I simply hex tweaked the "recovery" executable of a 5.8.0.9 Pyramid CWM (HTC Sensation).
So, in conclusion, I have no control over what is copied during the backup process of those partitions.
Though I could control which partition is processed by removing them from "fstab", but there is no gain into it.
We will have to wait somebody with the specific knowledge, or maybe I will have some time to learn once I return from holidays.

Hi,
Is it possible to flash update zips from this CWM recovery (like Beats Audio which is in flashable zip format)?
I don't want to use it for backup-recovery.
...and how about doing wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache?

Haven't tried installing a ".zip" archive from CWM but it should work.
Avoid "wiping" and/or "formatting" partitions, they will be messed up.

The main reason for use of CWM would be to have the possibility of flashing update zips from CWM... but I am afraid of messing up my device... to understand: no problem if I have to reflash the rom but I would not want to cause mistake which could be repaired only by service.
fastboot is always available if something goes wrong and if you flash cwm you wont be able to install official roms because cwm will overwrite stock recovery
so i was stupid and wiped data and cache - then remembered that it said not to - how do i fix this paperweight? i tried fastbooting all the usual partitions (system, boot, userdata, cache, etc) but still nothing - i can get to fastboot but i cant flash any dload updates. any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
flash stock recovery (2 files) from zipped rom via fastboot and then you should be able to flash stock rom
flashed three different stock recoveries to recovery and recovery2 - still only get the media pad logo twice (flashed androidani intl rom before bricking) cant boot to recovery - think the partition table is screwed. is there a way to create partitions from fastboot, and if so, still would be nice to know the names of the partitions to flash as referenced in tmo stock thread.

The time needed to reformat and rewrite all the firmware partitions (the first time) will be between 10-15 minutes.
Be patient and give enough time to the device to execute all the needed processes.
When the device finally boot it need to completely regenerate dalvik-cache (the first time).
So try again as instructed above, rewrite "BOTH" partitions named "recovery" and "recovery2", both using the same "recovery.img" file found in the latest stock Huawei firmware.
Now extract the stock Huawei firmware archive on your PC and copy the "dload" folder on an empty formatted SDCard, then insert the SDCard in the MediaPad reboot it and wait until success or failure message.
If you wiped partitions you will have to wait more time (20-30m). It may be that after waiting a while a message about "Encryption not possible" could appear, just say no to encryption and let it reset the device.
It already happened to some of us so hope you are also able to recover your tablet.
thanks i will give it a shot - while it is rewriting partitions, should it be on the huawei logo? or should i see the android / gears turning?

First time restoration takes time on both moments during the 1st Huawei log and even during animation.
Trying to recover a partition that was wiped takes much longer for the OS to show the error.
When I tried wiping "data" and rebooted the device I recall I went for a long walk and when I returned the device was showing the "Encryption failure / Reset" message (about half an hour later).
So I can only suggest that when you retry you wait at least that amount of time (30 min.) with charger connected, whatever happens leave it alone until it display or ask you do something. Let me know if it works when you have tried.
Download links do not work for me. Can you upload in mediafire please?

on my rooted nook tablet i can't access to google play store
it say "you must add an account to the device to continue. do u want to add an account now"
and when i click on YES it closes everything and goes back on the main screen

is this related to the fact that the software has been updated to the new version 1.4.3?

Yep. Reroot using the sdcard method and everything should go back to normal. A system update breaks root as it modifies the /system/apps/ directory which is where superuser/google play are stored when rooting.

Hopefully, someone can help me with this, as I seem to be having a similar problem. I am familiar with how to root the nook tablet, and have done so already, but since then, I believe the firmware updated, breaking my root. I am afraid to do it again, because when I first rooted the tablet, a game on it didn't work properly, and only worked properly after the update. Will this new root process cause any existing games to stop working? And how do I then prevent future firmware updates from breaking my root, again?

simple answer for avoising breaking root is to install a custom rom

or install custom recovery (cwm) if you wish to continue to use stock
without stock recovery B&N can't send you updates
How do I tell if I'm using stock recovery or custom recovery?

I used Albert Wertz's method for rooting using an sd card, and had no problems, except that I didn't go as far as to block the OTA updates. Is it possible to have a custom recovery and stock recovery on the same device? How do I tell, and how do I safely install cwm, without being able to use Titanium Backup (since my root is now broken)?
deleted because of multiple posts linked.
I have now booted into mac instead of ubuntu in an attempt to fix.
Looks as if I got caught in xda update!
It's still not correct but better now.

No, there is one partition designated for recovery. You can run cwm from sdcard when you wish and keep stock recovery internal, but custom recovery is the only way I have seen that absolutely blocks otas (otas are blocked with custom rom also) if that is your concern. To tell about your recovery the only thing I can think of is the power and N key into recovery. If you read what is presented on the screen when it appears and refuse a reset you are safe, that takes care of stock, if you are nervous reread and take your time. For cwm if that is installed you will see a cardboard box flash and then a menu with the first item to reboot, that is also safe.
To get into either recovery (for looking) from power off press and hold power and N, after two seconds release power, after one or two more seconds release N also. That should do it.
If you wish to have absolutely what to click when you get stock recovery just wait a while and I'll come back and edit this post to reflect that info. At the moment have something else going on (NT) I can't stop.
Stock recovery shows Factory reset
do you want to reset your device to the factory default?
Press POWER key to exit
Press Home key to continue
press power and you are out and safe
Installing CWM recovery! There are now two apps(they require root) here on xda for that purpose, one is 16gig only (Nook Tab Recovery Flasher) by indirect the other is 8gig and I don't know who did it.
There are also flash zips for each and a flash zip that is both 8gig and 16gig. If you are 8gig make sure you choose one for 8gig
CWM sdcard with a flash zip does not require root.
