Copy the update.pkg to your sdcard, flash the recovery.img, install from sdcard, then you're done.

What do you mean
Flash the recovery image where do i get that from

All I did was copy it to the sd card and rename it update.zip. Then booted into recovery and installed from there. Nice and easy.

SD card recover question

I am rooted and have installed the recovery tool. When I click recovery mode and the recovery mode pulls up how do I install gladiatrix from the sd card. The only option with the sd card I have is update.zip. and that is not the correct file.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
The .zip you are trying to install has to be in the root of your (internal) sdcard.
I can not figure out how to get the file in the correct folder. When I try copy and past it using Adeo, I don't have permissions. I also tried using astro and it wont let ne move of copy and paste. Any ideas?

Thanks, had a similar problem and wanted to know this as well.
Remember to move all apps to phone memory before format.

What about update.zip? It is needed anymore on root of the sd card?

You can simply delete the update.zip file without any problems.

You need to keep update.zip on root of sdcard. It doesnt enter recovery mode if you not copy it back.

For such stuff, using the Droid Tool is the best way:

Format it with your android phone, or in recovery, not with your PC.

What I do is create a file on the s/d card. I name it +Flash. Then whenever I download anything to flash .. It goes into that file.
When you go into recovery and look at your files .. the + makes it be the first file. Makes it easy to find.
Hope this helps.

What file path do you have it saved to? Internal or External?

You most likely have placed it on the external sd card. Check. If so, move it to internal.

Is this a new thing? I used to always put zips on my external and flash from there. Now mine is similar to the OP. Some roms I put on my external and CWM sees them no problem. Other times the folder is empty. If I go in and move the file back to the internal it shows right up. It was nice being able to dump the roms on the external which has more space than internal.

I have always used the internal. I use TWRP recovery. You can select internal or external sd card to view when flashing.
Before when using cwm, I never had to worry. Placed everything on internal and it was just there when I was ready to flash. You could always use a file app to move older roms
To your external to save space. Take a look at TWRP. Its very quick for Nandroid backups.

I second using TWRP; best Recovery program, imo. I had a few problems with CWM (even Touch version) back when I started flashing ROMs, but no problems with TWRP.
There's also an issue with the External SD listing coming up under the root emmc folder, rather than under Internal; can always check there for missing files stored on your External SD.

Stuck in constant bootloop

I need help. The nook is stuck in boot loop. Can someone give nee simple instructions to go back to stock? Or anything to make the device operable? I'm a noob so the easier the better for me. Thank you very much if anyone might help. I can't get into cwm by connecting to computer or pressing power volume or the n. Help please

Can your nook boot from SD card at all? If so use the repart.img from the stock1.4.2 file on the raywaldo site.

If the sd card is in I can get to cwm. But there it's no more space on the card to put a Rom. It seems like the nook os is missing.

Once you boot into cwm, you can remove sdcard and put another one with zip file.
Cwm runs in ram.

First check that you are using the last CWM release... Older CWMs are not compatible with some new Roms...
I can't understand why you couldn't flash rom from your External SD card!
but at least you have odin, and you flash a new rom with it
