Thanks. I thought just had to save a zip file or something.
Freeza has a thread with the stock .5 kernel. U can download that. Kernel flashing is just wiping caches and flash kernel. Or use the flash GUI app to flash the kernel for u.
There isn't any kernel with the new base that doesn't Bork something like camera.

To give some technical details around the proces, the kernel is generally stored in a partition labeled as "boot". The standard process for backing up and restoring this partition is to dump the whole partition into one file and labeled as boot.img or something similar.
The nandroid backup/restore which is standard in custom recovery's automates this process.
The .zip files which are distributed to flash kernels commonly contain either the boot.img file itself or the parts which make up a boot.img that are assembled at run time when being flashed by the custom recovery.
The .zip file part of the custom kernel that is distributed is essentially a packaging with directions telling the custom recovery how to specifically load the kernel onto the device.
The only side note which is important to mention is with the EVO 3D, and common with HTC devices, the kernel drivers for things such as WiFi are loaded separately from the kernel boot.img file. These kernel drivers are separate and are referred to as modules. They are stored in /system/lib/modules. These modules need to always match the kernel. If you were to manually backup a kernel and load a new kernel without loading the new modules for that kernel, WiFi will usually not work.
Hope that helps add some technical background to the question!

I modified the official 1.2 update to allow CWM to flash them. You can use these to upgrade to 1.2 or to return to stock.
There are two files. One replaces CWM with the stock recovery (good for going back to stock). The other doesn't replace CWM (but will replace uboot).
Other than that they are identical to the update from B&N.
update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed.zip
update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip
Please note neither one of these are rooted yet.
Just curious as to if this is rooted or just fixed to allow use of CWM?
Nevermind just read the full post!!
So just to make sure, I could use the one zip to return to full stock but with the 1.2 update? Also will this work if I have CM7 and CWM on my emmc? So reboot into CW, format \system and \data then flash the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip, then Reboot. At that point, I should be 100% 1.2 stock, sound about right?
I thinking about returning to stock and just run CM7 for my SD if this is an options.
Thanks,
Derek.

Assuming you haven't fooked up any paritioning by using the "dual-boot" stuff you can return to 100% stock by doing the folllowing:
Download the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip above
Flash the zip with CWM (either from emmc or sdcard)
Use CWM to factory reset the device (wipe /data and /cache)
Reboot into 100% stock froyo
If you have modified your partitions this will not work.
This won't work off of an sd right?
I'd like to modify this so it just installs to my dual boot partition.
I've done this before with flashing kernels, but there are more partitions here to take care of.
I figure if I'm going to change the updater script to mount the correct block partitions then I should also have it wipe /data and /cache on the secondary partition.
Any ideas on syntax?

Once we have a rooted version I'll probably check it out for fun.

I guess I wasn't clear the first time: if I use this method, am I stuck with B&N's version of Froyo until someone figures out how to root this one, or can I just reflash CM7? And I'm not sure I understand the difference between both of the zips that nemith has produced.
In any case, thanks nemith - I always appreciate the work that the devs do!

If you dont like this, just boot into a bootable clockwork recovery and flash cm7 or whatever you want. You wont be stuck on this.
One zip removes Clockwork Recovery and puts the stock recovery back. The other leaves Clockwork Recovery intact.
I'd assume, leaving it intact allows you to flash back to any backups or any other Rom if incase you do not like the official build.
I'm at work so I'm unable to test it out.
Or you can always just use a bootsble SD with clockwork on it to reflash whatever ron or backup you have.

So Ive got this thing rooted but I for the life of me cannot get the market to work. I have the vending.apk and googleservicesframework.apk under /system/app but market will not show up in my app drawer on the stock or adw launcher. Under manage applications, market or googleservicesframework arent there either. Does the nook have other dependencies? If anyone with some experience could throw some suggestions my way. ADB isnt currently working without the driver. Ive added other apps that are showing up and working perfectly.

Well since you have a custom recovery the only way you can get to stock is to use adamoitlers total wipe flash back to stock and root from there. You could try flashing some stock recovery but it is a bit risky IMO.

Yes, After flashing cm7 and gaaps,wipe and re-boot I'm in bootloop. For now I am running cm7 off sd card fine, but hope to fix internal ? Also, while in cmw from sd card, I get the error message after flashing "can't mount E recovery". There is probably the culprit ?
I'm not sure to be honest. Try flashing a different rom and see if you can boot.
You could also flash the zip for internal clockworkmod if you like, via the sdcard clockworkmod.

Thanks for the help thus far, but none of the above work. I also tried the repart.img from Raywaldo tutorial and it doesn't finish.I also tried AdamOutler wipe/ubunto method and it gets stuck at writing zeros to mlo. The roms seem to flash ok, but can't boot into it without a loop. I suspect partitions are messed up if someone can point me in the right direction. So it looks like TWRP caused this when reverting to cm7 from cm9 Thanka again

The first method worked for me, although I did flash a clean CM7 install instead of 1.4.2 at the end.
Also, you shouldn't need to make a.CWM sd card, since you can reach recovery.
Just download "acclaim_update.zip" from XDA and then go in and navigate to "updater_script" which is located in "META-INF/com/google/android/" edit the first two lines and where it says "blaze" change to "acclaim" on both lines and update your zip file or rezip it whatever you do and you can now flash it in CWM or TWRP.

I'd recommend getting something like notepad++ as notepad will not display the file very cleanly, and wordpad will add extra characters. Extract the file out of the zip, to say your desktop. Open it with notepad++. Edit what you like, save the file. Drag it back into the original place in the zip. Winrar will update the file in the zip. Make sure you extract the file though, if you try opening it directly from the zip, you're just going to be working on a temp copy of the file.
If you suspect that your partitions are messed up there are some threads about repartitioning. You can follow them up until you're supposed to start changing partitions to see if yours are the same as what their original ones were.
Can you boot the internal recovery still? I've seen a few posts about the CWM that come with CM7 and CM9 not being compatible with the other version. Perhaps try Indirect's Flasher.
Next time though, you should ask your question in a new thread since it's not really on topic with the OP and thread topic. Your question refered to a bootloop... The OP referred to returning to stock. By keeping the threads on topic to their content, it helps make searching easier for other people who may need the help.
Yes, notepadd++ --> On its menu, go to edit, and then to Eol Conversion to choose between :
windoze - cr/lf - od/oa ( hex )
unix - - lf - oa
mac - - cr - od
.
( of course ) we want the second choice...

Creating tar recovery results in multiple files in recovery folder not a single zip file. My question was is there a way to create a single zip file that can be flashed in recovery as a custom rom.
I use the older version of cwm which creates full nandroid into 5 or so files. I then zip it into one but you have to unzip it to restore it. I don't think there is a clean way to create one full flashable nandroid with all your data and settings etc... I would also like to know if there is a way.

Not on CM10 they might have different locations for there boot image not sure.
In regards to the Nandroid I was just thinking about it actually and I find it quite strange as to why after ALL this time there isnt a way to create a FULL nandroid with apps,settings,themes,data.contacts, EVERYTHING all in the one file so its flashable. I mean it wouldnt be that hrd for the dev to do it as there is an option for the update zip. I really dont get it. Wouldnt everyone prefer it that way?

Hey Everyone. Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot, but I've watched the "noob" video, and I couldn't find anything about my phone on here. So, I've become interested in custom roms, and I'm thinking about learning how to make some. I currently own a Galaxy Proclaim, and I havent been able to create a nandroid backup. I've successfully set up the adb on my Lubuntu Netbook, and I ran adb backup, and apparently that only works for ICS. So, that leaves me with a few questions. How do I make a nandroid backup of gingerbread? What does ROM Manager, from googleplay, back up? And Is there a way I could make a backup manually? I know how to backup the files on my system, but how would I backup the bootloader and everything else? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just curious and determined to make a custom ICS rom, or compile a ROM from source, but I'm afraid to try anything because I don't want to brick my phone.

Clockwork Manager doesn't support my phone. The phones model number is SCH-S720C. I've tried other backup apps and they back up my apps/media just fine, but I need a full nandroid backup in case I mess up the boot loader or flash the wrong .pit file. I'm not taking any huge risks this time since I bricked my last one. Is there anyway I could make a backup manually?

How can I flash this rom ? Can I just zip the folder together and flash it or do I have to do anything else?
Reason Im doing this is I need the cash really badly and they extensively check the phones before paying you so I need it back exactly the way it was when I bought it. Its in International (UK) Unlocked HOX+.
I have already backed up all my files and wiped the whole phone.
What recovery did you use to take the backup? Inside the backup section there should be a restore option. You should do a full wipe before restoring. And make sure you flash the boot.img from fastboot.
