OK, my last guide sucked and wasn't detailed.
Here's another go.
Now, your going to need CWM installed, this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?bb7o66282bqfp6q
and a backup up of your first rom.
Remember the Backup!
Backed up?
Now go into CWM.
Go into Mounts & Storage.
Format system/data. There is a backup, right.....?
Now download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?kw3lrshy2umet7e
Now flash that. Boot into it and follow these instructions:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Factory_Mode/Skip_Out_of_Box_Experience
Skipped it?
Now root it by flashing the first file you downloaded.
It should now be rooted. Now download this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/eclair-to-dual-boot-flashable-v0.2.zip
and this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/prep-dualboot-0.1.zip
Flash prep-dualboot-0.1.zip.
Now flash the eclair-to-dual-boot-blah.zip.
Now reboot holding the home button. Should boot stock.
Did it boot?
Yay! Stock on dual boot.
Now erase system.
Restore just data.
And restore system.
Like start advanced restore, and restore data.

@racks, how it my guide?
My previous one stunk.
Just want to know if it will help others.
I have some trubles getting into recovery mode with 1.2. (First reboot, after flash of b&n stock with cwm.
Normally its pwr + n.
Can someone please tell me What the right combination is?
Thanks.
How do you remove the partisioning again?
It doesn't work like that.
You have to use a cwm sd card temporarily, until you can get back into an OS.
So I can't do this trick with CWM installed on the phone?
You can, but once you get back to a normal OS (after getting the dual boot) reflash cwm.
But why do it on a phone?
And, you need CWM. Just need a bootable cwm card.
I followed up until this:
Now erase system.
Restore just data.
And restore system.
Like start advanced restore, and restore data.
It seems they are mistyped or I am misreading? I think I know what erase system is and where to find in CWM. What does the rest of that mean? Is "Like" a mistype?

How do I log into my barnes and Noble account after I do this, since we skipped the oobe, can we do a reset on the stock secondary boot, or is there someplace to register it in settings that I was missing?
From what I know, you have to delete data, so basically you have to follow the whole guide again. Might I suggest that you take a look at my guide, which tells you why you skip toe OOBE. Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053780

If your 1.2 dualboot is rooted. Use NookColorTools and goto Settings, then scroll down and choose I believe is the 2nd or 3rd wifi option from the menu. That should take you to the initial setup up screen where it setups your wifi connection before registering.

Damn you omitted to note that you need a sdcard with CWM on it, now im kind of stuck. I suggest you add that to your main post ><
I followed the directions and it's working perfectly.

This is a method to get a recovery menu on every boot, while also supplying a secondary /system partition. This essentially lets us dual boot the default moto rom, and whatever other rom we want, without having to worry about getting into an unrecoverable state.
Make SURE you remove the razrbootstrapper program, AND completely remove the CWM on every boot mod if you have flashed that.
Instructions to remove CWM on every boot:
Follow the below:
(Using the rootexplorer)
1) First, delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
2) Rename /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode (Very important)
3) Delete file /system/etc/razr_cwm_boot.cfg
4) Last, delete file /data/.recovery_mode
5) reboot

Please note that backups made in CWRecovery are NOT compatible with Safestrap due to partition renaming, etc.
Make a full backup of your primary system (non-safe) for recovery purposes.

THANKS! Just want to make sure as some terminology i haven't heard of from G2. But I'm very good to go with everything else.
Thanks again.
tried this on my razr(CDMA) and my phone wouldn't boot again after turning safestrap on. I had to hold down Vol-down + Power to reset the phone and finally turn off safestrap. Only then did my phone boot again. I did uninstall the bootstrap recovery before hand. Not sure If I did something wrong or not. just my 2 cents about it.

I had the same problem at first: this is due to not flashing a rom once you turn on safe mode. Think of it like dual booting a computer if you don't install anything on that second partition nothing will show. You just need to install a rom under safe mode and then you will be good to go
Any CDMA roms available yet?
On hashcodes site it says v1.07 but its v1.0 when you download it.
It's still 1.07, don't worry.

Want to flash a new rom and try out themes but I want to get confirmation on the steps I'll be taking rather than just rely on my search results.
1. I found this for installing cwm:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...-on-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-belltelusrogers/
Since our note isn't built into ROM Manager, I'm failing to see if theres a connection between that program and what is being done in the above tutorial. Kinda confused here and unsure of the next step. Am i just trying to install cwm or am I running a backup of some kind after doing so?
2. I've installed and ran titanium backup (i'm rooted)
3. http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/d...-flashing-roms-return-stock-odin-picture.html
Is all of this correct for our note as well (obviously replacing the pda with the saurom or collective rom)
Anything else I should do?
I know this is newbish but it seems there's a million ways to do this kind of stuff so I want to be sure I'm doing everything the common way that's done around here so it's easier to troubleshoot etc. if I have any issues.
so since your note is rooted and you don't have the clockwork recovery on your note? if not.
the first link that you post is correct for installing cmw.
or
try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
then flashing Rom.
Dont use the last link you post. it is for Droid.
so the method for flashing a new rom is the same as installing cwm with oden? just simply put my phone in DL mode and open it in pda with oden?
i flashed the cwm using that thread and the oden method. maybe i'm still not understanding what cwm is. am I supposed to do something with it before flashing the rom, or is it something that is just necessary to be flashed onto the phone before flashing the rom? is the titanium backup all I needed to do?
edit: and also will i need to re-setup everything or will restoring all apps+system data with titanium backup after flashing new rom essentially put me back exactly where i was setup wise?

I'm a noob as well and I'm only 1 step ahead of you so far. I'm rooted and just installed cwm. I'm ready to install saurom and based on the research I've done you go into cwm (by pressing both up/down vol and power at same time).
That's where you will install saurom and without rebooting install the att fix. Assuming you downloaded the files and transferred them over to sd card. That's all the info I've gathered so far.
As soon as I installed cwm I immediately made a backup of my stock rom. I highly suggest you backup your stock as well. This is a great easy tutorial on how to do it. If anything goes wrong with installing custom roms you can simply go back to stock.

1. root the note -check

3. make backup of stock rom - check (or is using titanium backup the same thing?)
4. download "saurom_ATT_APN_US_Fix_.zip" and "SAUROM_XLA2_RCVI.zip" and transfer to sd card.
5. enter cwm mode by hitting up/down vol and power buttons at same time.
6. navigate to the files and install saurom and without rebooting install att fix.
7. reboot and that's it??
Do I need to do anything else?

Not a highjack at all, that's more help than I started with. Hopefully someone can confirm your steps and we can get this flashed! I just made a full backup with cwm as well.
I would say stop using google and search here on XDA in the DEV section for the i717 (the Note) before you wind up flashing a ROM not meant for this phone.
The key here is read, read, read and then read more. Evey thing you need to root, flash CWM (specific version for the i717) and install any custom ROM is here on XDA.
Be VERY careful and understand that if you flash with ODIN (depending on what you flash - system, kernel etc) you may increase your flash counter. Most of the rooting methods and utilities indicate if the counter will increase or not.
TiBa - backups up your apps and setting on booted up
CWM - tool to wipe various areas of the device, flash ROMs and install packages
Nandroid Backup - backups up your ROM and is done once inside CWM.

I'm not sure how to do a nandroid backup... not sure what it is. Didn't find any specific topics on it searching here and nothing in the play store. how is this backup different from the backup using cwm recovery mode> backup ?
Are the above steps otherwise good? It seems different ROM's have different instructions for installing them, from what I've gathered. I guess I'm going to try saurom first, btw since I really like the transfuzion theme.

a nandroid back is done from inside CWM. Go to the backup and restore and backup. This will backup your current rom to the SD Card (internal or external depending on which option you pick) in the clockwork mod folder. This will save your current rom exactly how it is. You want to do this before flashing anything generally.
To flash a new Rom, you will want to make sure you have done a nandroid back up, make sure all the necessary files are on your sd card. Boot into CWM (hold vol up and down and power, when it turns off it will vibrate, let go of power and hold vol up and down until you are in CWM). Then you want to wipe all data (factory reset), wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (in advanced menu). Then install zip from sd card, find your rom zip file and flash that. This is what i usually do. I am not 100% sure the complete wipe is necessary for the Note, it was on my old Inspire, so I still do as it is habit and good practice.
I had already posted a response but apparently it disappeared. So I guess I did an n Android backup already with Cwm I just didn't realize that's what it was called.
I guess with those instructions it seems very straight forward. My only question now I think is with regards to the kernel. On the first page in the saurom thread there is talk about using a specific kernel, do I still need to worry about this?

A backup in CWM will save your entire devices settings exactly as you have them, including apps and settings.
Use titanium backup only for app backups. You press menu -> batch -> backup all user apps.
Usually it is stated to not restore apps WITH user settings but I haven't had any problems with saurom after doing such.
Also, I believe saurom uses either da_g's overclocked kernel or holokernal. You don't have to worry about that part as it is baked into the ROM.

I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..

Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB

I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery

I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash

I followed a post on here from malloneem - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368 - but I ran into an issue. I have CM7 running just fine on NT (thanks by the way ) but I'm trying up "upgrade" to CM10. I can boot into recovery and then into TWRP but it hangs after selecting the acclaim.zip file and gapps file. It states "Flashing file 1 of 2 /sdcard/sgt7-10-20121124-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip" I let it run for 2 hours, but no luck.
Thanks in advance!

The method you're using is rather old. Before you try anything else I will interrupt your possibly long strenuous process of flashing CM10.
Before you attempt anything else, restore your tablet. You might be mad at me for saying this, but it makes things easier using the newer methods for flashing ROMs. You can restore your tablet by writing this repart.img to an SD card and putting it in your nook. It will write stock BN ROM to your tablet. Use this:
http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
A lot of people have problems with TWRP. I could never get it to stop freezing up. Assuming you want to internally flash CM10 I'll give you this link to follow:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/
If you are new to flashing ROMs there is a very simple way of using CM10 from an SD card. Just write it to your SD card and you're good! You can use a partitioning tool such as MiniTool to expand the different partitions of your SD card. Use this method if you want run from an SD card.
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
If you run into any problems along the way, just ask!
I appreciate the reply. I was able to flash back to factory, but I'm a bit perplexed on the second link. I do want to run CM10 internally. I was able to grab the file, but the link isn't exactly noob friendly on a "how to". Could you point me in the right direction to get started on this?
Thanks

Try this out.
Mega simple super duper easy way where you don't have to set up any partitions at all:
1. Download one of the ready-made CM10 sd-card images on Iamafanof website. Doesn't matter which! These images contain Cyanoboot.
2. Burn this image
3. Put your CM10 and gApps on this or another sd card.
4. Boot into Cyanoboot by holdninh "n" during bootup. Choose "sd recovery"
5. Clear cache and dalvik
6. Choose your zips and flash them
Once CM10 is installed you'll have Cyanboboot and CWM installed internally so if you need to reflass you just boot into Cyanoboot by holding the "n" at bootup.

@SuicidalSoldier:
I'd also suggest taking a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more info/pointers -- especially w.r.t. making backup in case you make mistakes in flashing.
Thank you for the info. I'll give these a try and post back my results.
Somehow after installing I keep stuck at the CyanogenMod splash screen.
I have already re-installed but to no avail.
Any hints?

Takes a while for the initial boot to start. Just wait 2 or 3 minutes and it should boot.

It indeed takes 2-3 minutes but then it just flashes the Android home screen and goes back to the cyanogenmod boot splash screen.
I am guessing I should install another build perhaps?

Go to recovery and do a factory rest/total wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then install the ROM again. If it still doesn't work try a different ROM.

By "cyanogenmod boot splash" do you means "Cyanoboot splash" or "Cyanogenmod boot-animation"?
You need to say more on what you did to "flash the ROM" so that we can discern what you might have done wrong.

Thanks dude, that did the trick. I guess the problem I had was with a corrupt image that I have downloaded.
Well. It's my worst fear. Launched the DPI changer app, attempted to change my DPI (to a valid amount) and nothing happened, no big deal. My wireless connections stopped working and my shop stopped working. I downloaded a different DPI changer, everything was working except Google Play. I attempted everything then decided to tell it to "change" my DPI to default. Went to reboot then bam.
I get the following:
The standard splash with the Verizon 4GLite then it goes on to loop at the Samsung splash for a bit then loops from the beginning (4GLite).
I've tried getting into "recovery" mode but it won't go, I do not know why. (Vol up + home + power). Need help please, thanks.
(Noob alert, if you mention anything that I might need, if you could please supply a DL link to minimize any more mess ups I might make)
EDIT: I got into recovery mode I forgot you were able to remove the battery (I was panicking, I apologize) I am also rooted with 4.2
EDIT2: I've attempted a factory reset, nothing new happened.
EDIT3: I need to reflash an OS. I'm really freaking out. It says I don't have a bootloader (OS).
Bottom line: This problem kinda... multiplied itself most likely based on my own stupidity. I'm keeping it at the "Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.0" recovery menu because I don't even want to boot into anything. Awaiting instructions.

I saw you posted this in the att forums but I think I can help. Just download any ROM and flash it. Twrp has a failsafe now that will basically prevent you from bricking your phone if no os is detected. Do you have an external memory card? If you do transfer a ROM to your card, put it in your device, and flash it. Your not bricked.....your just soft bricked. Or you can always go back to stock. I'm sure your device thread has instructions on how to Odin back to stock. Hope this helps

So if I wanted to flash stock, I just need to put the stock rom on my ESD put it into my phone and flash it from the recovery menu? Is there more to it than that? Or do I need to do that all externally with "Odin"? Where would I obtain the stock rom? And thank you for your response.

I'm talking a touchwiz ROM one of your developers has made. You can find it in your forums. It sounds like you don't have much experience with this stuff. Did you make a nandroid backup at all?

Sadly, no. I didn't. You are correct, I am very new to this sort of thing, I've rooted other devices before (simple one click only, I'm good with computers, but not smart phones) but nothing has blown up this bad before. I've placed this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261478) on my ESD however, when I put my ESD back in, it reads it as blank. I'm assuming I need to relaunch recover mode to refresh its directories. However I'm very scared to do that because I have no OS anymore.

Just navigate in your recovery back to your internal SD then back to your external. If that does not work then go to the reboot menu in TWRP and and hit recovery. It will restart your recovery only and should refresh what is sees on your external card. If that does not work go to mount and make sure external SD is ticked in the settings, if not then tick it, Reboot recovery again. If still that doesnt work then go to Advanced, file manager, and navigate to your external SD (if you can) and find the file you downloaded, pick the zip file and move it to your internal SD. Then flash it. Regardless of any of these steps if you can find the .zip file flash it. Then reboot. Hope that helps you. You should be able to reboot to recovery any time you need to regardless of no OS. Please keep your phone charging during this whole process. If this works then make a nandroid backup in Twrp.

Edit- If none of this works then you'll probably have to adb sideload your phone to transfer the rom to your internal SD card. Otherwise you can ODIN back to 100% stock which involves a huge download and you'll have to reroot your phone. If you don't know how to ODIN to stock then get on youtube and there are plenty of videos to help you along. The basis for the note 2 (att, verizon, sprint,....) should all be the same just a different file to download.

I rebooted into recovery. I only hesitated because it warned me I didn't have an OS. That worked, I saw the ROM and am now flashing it. I will edit and let you know if all works.
EDIT: It worked, thank you so much for your time and effort! I'm sure it's a pain dealing with noobies, I hope this helps people in the future since it's very friendly to beginners. I hope to not come back to this thread and say something isn't working properly.

No problem man. Not everyone here is a butthole. Its not a pain because I was there once too. Just make sure you run a backup in twrp. You can name it too! Just practice and read around. Watch YouTube videos (I learn by visual)
And I keep my backups on PC in case a memory card goes bad. If you wipe system in recovery make sure you flash a ROM because system is obviously your OS and twrp prevents it from booting and bricking your device. Good choice on the recovery. :thumbup:
If it will at least boot to something there's always hope. be sure to hit the thanks button. It always helps. Glad to have gotten you up and running. If you need more help just pm me.
