Image backup on Nook tablet - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

On my PC's I use Acronis backup software. It will create a one file image that is very easy to restore. Is there anyway to do something like this with the rooted Nook tablet

Titanium backup from the market does a good job of backing up apps and system data.

Until we get Clockwork Recovery going, I don't think there's a way to do an image style backup.

Well, thanks to buawks and nemith we have CWM working and it can fully back up your NT. I've even used the recovery to restore my device (accidently got stuck in a boot loop).
You can either make an sd card and boot into CWM from there or you can install it on the internal memory.

Where is this software located?

Look at these threads:
CWM SD Recovery File: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440645
How to build internal file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440438
I'm currently working on posting built recovery images but have to work out a boot loop bug on the internal CWM setup first.
PM me if you need specific files in the mean time.

I've been reading these threads, but unless I'm missing something it's not clear how we can create our own recovery image of our own devices. The first link is a post to a provided recovery image. If I have my NT rooted and set up just the way I like it right now, how do I create a recovery image before taking the next steps being worked by AO, Indirect, nemith, and the other great developers?

[ADV][DEV][ZIP] Froyo on eMMC - Clockwork recovery ZIP

This method is depreciated. Please use cicada's ZIP.
Hi,
After a very polite discussion with members of this community. I've simply decided to go back to my life without XDA.
Sorry.
I'll leave you these files which work for sure. These can be flashed using IOMonster's rootpack.
Overlclocked kernel 1100mhz FOR FROYO ONLY you could try out, but this kernel hasn't been exhaustively tested: -Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-install.zip here. -Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-removal.zip here. Kernels originally posted by dalingrin, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
In case anything goes wrong and your NC won't boot anymore: Flashable zip (to copy to root of sdcard):
-Download flashable repartition-boot-with-froyo.zip here.
-Download flashable repartition-boot-with-stock.zip here.
If you use stock-boot after having flashed froyo, it will not be enough to boot entirely, it will only show you "touch the futur screen". For it to boot completely, you'll have to format system and data, then use complete-restore-to-stock-1.0.1 after that, or install froyo-emmc again. This should only repair your boot (mmcblk0p1) partition, allowing your NC to boot again. ​
See 'Restore to stock' thread regarding restoring/flashable zip download.
Thank you for your support.
Have fun.
Sam
thank you greatly! ill work on this on the morning!

How hard was it to create?
Any chance of making a flashable zip with the Customized Nookie Froyo 0.5.9 Image?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324
Awesome!!!
@above: i agree, that would be useful
Gonna pick a nook color up today this looks great thanks for ur hard work.
One think can a guy just make a backup via cwr?
Well that's a question you should ask IOMonster. But one thing is sure, the sd's size (1gb) wont suffice for a total backup of the nook. And I'm not sure nandroids are totally stable yet..

Anything is possible. Actually, all you would need to do from now on to make a flashable "mod", would be to make an .img of your customized system (with dd), making sure you leave all private data out of it. And then copy it to my existing zip by replacing the existing /tmp/system.img. The script would do the rest.
Well that's if you don't need to copy anything to /data. In that later case script would need just a few more lines...
That's all..

I've restored from a CWM backup several times to replace a development image that was less than functional . As long as:
1) you only need to restore /boot, /data/ and /system
2) your new update .zip doesn't break CWM (doesn't replace uRecRam)
It should work fine.
Even if it does break CWM on install, IOMonsters SD should still work fine. Just some thoughts...
Can anyone place these files on a mirror? Can't d/l from work....blocked by IT. >=(
I'm trying to download the files but the website won't let me. It's stuck in loop.
Superb!
Thanks so much. I've been really looking forward to this.
Also, fyi, I had to use IE to download the image, didn't work with Chrome.

I got hung up trying to dd the blocks (mmcblk0p3), then device rebooted on its own...then got stuck in bootloop...pulled the sd card and shut down for 5 - 10 mintues.
turned on to see and it booted fine back to Auto-nootered Eclair....
Now just waiting to be able to download file....
So, I have a CWM backup image that I've successfully restored in the past, that should suffice right?
Also, is it actually necessary to use this bootable CWM or is it possible to install the zip directly from CWM on my device?
For those who has done this (emmc), is it yielding noticable improvement over SD cards? One of my chief complaints about the current Froyo build is the lag (opening gmail can take upwards of 2 mintues sometimes, among a host of other complaints. How is the responsiveness now?
It should also work with internal cw recovery. But then you have no way back without an sdcard, because cwr dosent boot on nookie yet.

So cwr doesn't work with nookie froyo yet? Does that mean that I can't flash a kernel without using the sdcard and in doing so loose all data because it will overwrite the boot partition? I think I'm confused

I flashed with zip over Auto Nootered 1.0.1 and everything works fine now. But the issue is that I cannot access Clockwork Recovery any more. I tried Power + N button, also boot to recovery from Rom Manager but it simply reboots back to home screen.
I tried flashing via Rom Manager again. It shows that I am currently running Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 but yet reboots to home screen. Without CWR, I cannot restore the backup I took. Please help.

Ok. But the iomonster version is to be booted from an SD card, right? My nandroid backup is also on the sd card. I believe I should use a blank SD to create the CWR bootable card. So how can I boot CWR from sd and access the nandroid backup as well?

Trying to do factory restore and don't know how to do above. Chose zip from sd card, chose cwmrestore zip file and then it finds and starts to install then it is aborted. I have no idea if I'm even supposed to be doing this but there it is.
I have tried so many things from simple (the simple failed reboots method to very complex methods that I tried to follow very closely) and read so many threads and watched so many you tube videos that I can't even tell you how many things I've tried. Nothing works at least the way I'm doing it. I need to get this back to stock and start over because it is really f'd up. I think it was due to a bad sd card I used from the beginning.

Not quite sure how. The recovery folder consisting of the etc folder and one file, recovery-from-boot.p, goes to the root and the rest of the zip goes to the recovery folder and renamed to factory.zip?
When I do that, it still brings up Cynaboot and I'm presented with the menu. Choosing zip from card and trying to update by choosing factory.zip still goes to the previous Installation aborted error.

Wait, I'm mixing up restore methods, as I've tried a number of ways to restore to stock.
I'm in the process of trying to restore by copying to the root of the sd as you recommended.
Not sure what to do next
I decided to use the CM7 from the sd. I worked through this restore, however, I got the following message after it processed through restring .android_secure:
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
I tried it again and keep getting the message:

It worked beautifully. I had to Backup using CWM first to check on the folder structure, and saw that it was all neatly placed as-is in the zip folder. Restored and am now back on stock (and using CM7 on SD card).

I am EXTREMELY sad to report that the new "backup" image will not boot on my NT8.
I went through all the steps and CWM flashed the backup without any errors. It then returned to the main menu and I hit "Reboot System."
It just turns off (or goes into a sleep mode.) Nothing but a black screen. The Nook Power cable displays the yellow-red that seems to suggest that it is in a SOD.
I have tried every iteration of powering off for 30 secs and then trying, with/without the SDCard, with/without the Nook Power adapter, and nothing will turn it on.
However, as soon as I put either @meghd00t's NEW recovery SD or my CM7Alpha SD, they boot up without problems.
I CAN do ADB if there is a command that I need to issue to clear some register on the device? Anyone know what I should do?

Nook Tablet stuck with no OS

So here is my issue. Last week I formated my ROM, so for a while it was stuck in internal flashed CWM 5.5.0.4 Than I flashed some restore file which fixed that issue.
However I was dumb enough to exit the internal CWM before flashing any Andoird OS zip meaning it has no Os inside. Since restart it gave me B&N factory reset option. I did. Than it gets stuck just past account log in info. No surprise because there is nothing on the EMMC.
Now I was able to boot CWM from SD, but when I try to install any zip file it says Aborted. Also there is never enough room left on my SD after I image the CWM image file.
So here is my question one. How can I actually have enough space to copy the Stock OS zip and flash it.
Most importantly I did have internal CWM 5.5.0.4 inside. Now when I hit B&N reset I am assuming it got wiped. Is there a way to access that internal CWM if not.

You can resize the partition of the SD card (after you flash CWM on it) using a partition manager, that will give you full access to all of it, or format the SD card and put these files onto an SD card.
So I able to boot on sd card, but when I try to flash anything this is the message I get. So once again I am stuck at best on CWM because it's not letting me install anything.
That (status 0) error sometimes is solved by mounting /system manually.

Those two zip files will also do nothing. The former is the zip file to root, which will do nothing if you really have no stock os installed. The latter I'm not sure about but again I don't think its something that can be flashed without an OS already installed. Try flashing cm7 or another rom.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
edit: now that I've looked at my files on my computer, the latter is not a flashable zip file for clockworkmod. Its the cwm image for burning to sd card.
You gotta do some reading man if you're going to be flashing stuff; don't just try to flash any zip file you see.
Did you try bypassing the registration screen?

Yes that's what I thought. Problem is after I write the Boot.rmg for SD CWM 5.5.0.4 there isn't enough space left to put the Os.zip on the SD. Tried a CWM SD I used to flash my Nook Color which does leave me enough room, but with that Nook Tablet just boots up normalls

DO NOT USE STUFF FROM OTHER DEVICES UNLESS IT IS STATED IT WILL WORK FOR YOUR DEVICE
Theres no harm here but going down that path is a very very bad idea. The devices are different.
So I finally managed to find the right SD CWM Boot that allows me to boot in CWM and leaves me enough room to put ROM zip and what not in the card after imaging.
So I tried flashing Nook Tablet stock os and here is the message I get.
E:Eoor in/sdcard/nookcolor_1_4_1_signed.zip
(Status 0)
Installation Abroted.
As a last resort I flashed CM9 which does finish the installation, but than when I restart it shows the black B&N screen saying device must reset and I am back to square one.
So now I am good with botting inside CWM. Just need help with successfully flashing the Nook Stock zip.
By the way me personally can't stand Nook Stock OS. I use a CM7 Mirage on my Nook Color. This is for a friend who I convinced to use Cyanogenmod on his Nook Tablet. He doesn't like CM, so I am trying to get him back to his stock os.

This is for a nook tablet yes? Why are you using a nook color zip file?
Tried Nook Tablet zip too with no success. The color one was just for trial.
Maybe I need just a plain all stock.zip customized for installation via CWM. Here is the message I get when I tried to flash the nook tablet update zip
Found links for Stock Nook Tablet zip, but none were downloadable.
E:Can't open /sdcard/nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted.
First of all is you friend's nook tablet 8GB or 16GB model?
Second you haven't read my FAQ, so you haven't read enough and you're confused in the way a custom rom and B&N stock update.zips are flashed.
A custom rom you can install from cwm > install .zip from sdcard or if it's a backup folder a.k.a recovery rom (as Albert call it) you can restore it from backup & restore option in cwm; but if it's a B&N stock update.zip you flash it "as is" in a different way, you have to format a sdcard with fat32 file system and set primary partition to "active" then you can flash the .zip from the sdcard. There is no need of cwm BUT there is need of stock original recovery as their update.zip requires their stock recovery to work.
Read my thread how-to restore internal partitions with 'dd' command for more information about flash stock/custom recovery and flash B&N stock update.zip for an out-of-the-box nook which means start from scratch: rooting, bla bla bla.
If you dont want to start from scratch then grab a custom stock rom from development section and flash it in cwm. Albert, cobrato and i have posted them.
Third this is not Q&A, wrong section to post. There is a sticky about it.

okay it sounds like you have "tried" to get your NT back into happy mode... but its still a sick puppy. sometimes you have to do the fix two times in a row. . and did you do a 'wipe / reset, wipe / reset" before and after ? . . .umm, take it back to the store and tell them you gotta turkey ?

Well that's the problem. I flashed Nook CM7 and CM9. Than when I start it loads B&N factory reset instead. Than I flashed B&N Stock in CWM. Still when I start it shows a screen saying Nook must be reset. Than right after account log in it shows the contact customer support screen.
It's a Nook Tablet 16GB versioj

Hmmm ok , then something got corrupted , I think I have read about other user having this same problem but I don't recall for a resolution. You will have to try restoring the partitions referred to the boot process first as I'm not sure if it's the factory partition that got corrupted.
I'll post useful links for you to read to know how to proceed later

Okay so I had been messing with the Nook Tablet for months now and I haven't been able to make any progress. Basically same issue. I can flash zip through CWM, but than I get pass no where beyond register B&N page and of course the registration fails.
Can anyone help?

[Q] Nabi 2 Kids Android Tablet

Hello Everyone,
I have not play with any android devices since android 2.0 and even back then found self rooting tools. I got my Kid Nabi2 tablet. Runs Android 4.0.4 currently. Nice little tablet. Problem is only have 8GB or storage. About 4gb after all system partitions and recoveries. So my question is can I safely back up my recovery partition to external source to free up some space? I assume recovery partition has complete recovery files when I do restore to factory option. I I remember correctly android has few partitions. /boot, /system, /recovery, /sd. is there a way just to have your operating system and whatever apps. Have recovery mode but have files on like sd card. If I decide to root this device dose that changes anything in my recovery partition. If device is rooted can I just go back to completely stock by doing factory reset? I just want to make sure that if I root it and want to go back to complete stock for any reason I can do that.
You can restore from your backup that gets made after you flash the custom recovery.
Here is the original script for using on Windows:

Though you should use the gapps package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35888524 as it gets rid of the 'android upgrading' messages on every boot.
If you want a more manual method, or are on linux, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016463

T499user, thank you for replaying. I do run windows. I did look at the section you direct me to me before. What I don't understand is when you root with his program do I use option 1 or 2. Where dose the back up go and how do I restore it later? when I restore dose that bring it back completely to stock, meaning just like it was when i got it? I'm currently running new nabi software do I have to worry about losing wifi?
Also is there a way of freeing up space on my nabi 2 by keeping a back up somewhere else. I think now there is recovery/back up partition. that works when I do factory reset. is that is how that works?
By installing new custom recovery would other recovery still be there?
Sorry trying to get back after many Apple years..

I prefer to do it manually, but if you are going to use the script, use option 2. Then you can install gapps from TWRP using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065878.
The backup that gets created is of the current system state. It is stored in /sdcard/TWRP/backups/*serialnumber*/backupname
No worries about wifi as long as you did all of the OTA updates.

It will be done with the script.

What dose exactly gets back up?
also do you know why nabi2 only has about 4.45gb of free storage when total is 8gb? 3.55gb seems a lot for system files???

The system, boot, and data partitions get backed up. That is the way they set it up for the partitions.
All of your questions have already been answered in the other threads, might want to do a search for 'Nabi' and have a read.
