I have been scouring these boards for hours and can't find my exact problem so I think I need to post this as a noob. I did Albert Wertz's method of rooting my Nook Tablet 16GB which he states will void the warranty. Afterwards I showed version 9.9.9 so I think it was rooted however I never saw superuser and such. I did something where the main menu bar no longer appears when pressing the n button too, annoying, I want it back too.
Anyway I booted into CWM from SD and then removed my boot SD and installed another SD with the img files on it. I have about 4 img files on it from throughout the day trying to update to CM7 and then tried a restore and just a CWM flash, every img file I select starts to perform it's update and somewhere around "extracting files" it says "installation aborted". At first I thought I had a bad memory card but both cards behave the same so I think they are good (creating 70MB partition on the CWM). I did a system restore on it and now it reports version 1.4.0 but I still get all the same errors, I'm stuck. I've spent about 9 hours of messing with this today and can’t think straight. I am going to bed and will try tomorrow, but if anyone could please tell me what I am missing I would very much appreciate it. Happy Easter ! Thanks, Mark O

In CWM, you need to install from .zip files. It sound like you're trying to install .img.
Thanks... I was installing .zip files, not .img. I was pretty useless last night. I used Alberts 4_5SD recovery this morn and got it rooted to 9.9.9 and I had superuser and titanium backup so all was good. I ran NWM from internal on the tablet and told it to install ROM from the SD card. I pointed to the file and told it to backup, then install the new ROM it said an error had occured when I tried this. I then booted from another SD card to go to CWM and after the white screen with the box, it went into backup and then restored the ROM, however it took me back to a unrooted version. It looked for the ROM I wanted to load but that was on the other SD card. Now I am back at square one, frustrated...
I think I might have found the problem but I am not sure. When I was doing the original CM7 update I wrote CWM to the E drive, (MyNook) so now the drive reports a total size of .99GB with 433MB free. So CWM is installed on this drive and I think that is the proplem. Is there a way to get CWM off the E drive? If I can just uninstall it, will that be sufficient enough to get the root back and then correctly install CM7? Thanks again in advance.
I guess this is turning out to be an ongoing update from me, lol... I am back to a rooted Nook Tablet with 9.9.9 So since I am a glutton for punishment I will try again tonight to do the CM7. I simply deleted the CWM file that I found in the internal memory and it seemed to not hurt anything.
This time I am planning to download Indirect’s latest "NOOK Tab Recovery Flasher.apk" directly to my Nook Tablet, (at the inlaws now and no wifi
If I understand correctly it will install CWM direct on my tablet, I am just wondering where it will end up installed? Then I downloaded the file for internal CM7 installation, the file is named "Nook-Tablet-CM7-Alpha-Final-TEAM-B-signed" I have it and nothing else on the sd card. So when I run CWM from the Nook, I point to the .zip file on the SD card. Sounds easy but after three screw ups, I am aprehensive.
If someone could please confirm that this procedure and the files I am using are compatible and should work with my 16GB Nook Tablet. Again thanks very much and I hope all have been enjoying this Easter holiday........

The steps that you have listed in this post are correct. If you do this exactly, everything should go according to plan.
Indirect's great app installs CWM to the recovery partition of your device, overwriting the B&N stock recovery. You can always go back to stock recovery if need be, though, so don't worry.
Thanks Solar.Plexus
The procedure worked as I hoped. I don't understand what went so wrong in my first attempt but the main thing is my wife doesn't look at me with THAT look anymore, since she thought I bricked her 12 hour old NT.....

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.

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.

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

Hey Everyone,
So here's what's happening:
I have an original Nook Tablet (16GB) v1.4.0 with Blocked OTA updates. Well I did...it's sort of dead now.
Initially, I purchased the device for my son on Christmas 2011. Back then, we only had 'Indirect's' ZergRush exploit to root and install CWM on Nook Tablets. There wasn't a whole lot to choose from. The Bootloader was still locked and there were no Custom ROMs in sight.
This actually worked fine for us, since my son got to enjoy his new rooted Nook Tablet with all the benefits of a 7" Android Tablet, yet he still got to enjoy the 'Nook Tablet Experience', as he's purchased/downloaded over a dozen Nook Books over this past year.
Earlier today, I went to turn on his Nook Tablet and instead of it booting up like normal, it fell into an endless bootloop.
It would power on, I could see the 'n' logo along with the verbage at the bottom that mentions the Adobe Flash technology and that's it. It keeps doing that over and over again.
Now since I do have quite a bit of hacked android devices, in this situation I would normally just manually boot into Recovery and flash my Nandroid.
Well, for whatever reason, I guess that's not possible here. No matter what I do, it's stuck in that horrible bootloop.
I found a thread on here where I can make a bootable MicroSD Card that would boot me into CWM. From there I could restore the Nandroid.
I actually 'made' this MicroSD Card, or I thought I did...but unfortunately the Nook Tablet will not boot AT ALL from it. So if I leave the Micro SD Card in the Nook Tablet, it's pretty much dead. It won't turn on, power on or anything.
As soon as I take out that MicroSD Card, there goes the bootloop once again.
Question(s)
1. - Does anyone have the correct files or a better way, so that I can make this bootable MicroSD Card, so that I can boot into Recovery and flash the Nandroid?
In case this doesn't work, I did make another MicroSD card that contains the v1.4.2 Stock Partition Image. Apparently, I can boot off this and it will do a Factory Restore of the Nook Tablet, running v1.4.2 Stock. It will not be rooted or anything.
2. - If I go this route, what are my options for rooting and installing custom recovery on v1.4.2?
3. - If I do choose to do this, I may just look into a Custom ROM. That said any recommendations?? I would prefer JB over ICS. I would prefer a VERY CLEAN, FAST, lightweight ROM, over heavy mods.
The one consideration is that it needs to still allow us to utilize the native Barnes & Noble functions, where we can sign into our account, download books from our library, purchase and download books and etc.
Again, if I can just boot into CWM and flash his Nandroid, that would be a hell of a lot less work. But if not, then so be it.
Thank you!

Just put this file on a micro sd card..turn nook off and insert card... and when you turn on the nook is should boot to recovery..hope this helps
Systems6,
I went ahead and downloaded your .zip, and extracted the files and placed them on the root of the SD Card. I placed the SD Card back into the NT. Still no dice, not booting up at all. Any other suggestions?
Thx.

** UPDATE:
I was able to follow the instructions on the following thread and made a bootable MicroSD Card running CWM v5.0.2.8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958
Once I was booted into CWM, I tried to do a Nandroid Restore, the way I always have. Unfortunately, I got the following error message:
'MD5 mismatch!'.
Now, I have never encountered this. I made sure that MD5 Signature verification was toggled 'Off'. Not sure if that would have made a difference or not.
Unfortunately, it didn't help. Now I'm stuck with a Nandroid that I cannot restore.
Can anyone suggest something for me to try, in order to try to restore this Nandroid? If not, I will go Plan B and restore to Factory v1.4.2.
However, if I go that route, I still would like some answers to my initial questions about which ROM to go with and etc. Might as well go to JB if I have to start all over.
Thanks!
BJ
Plan B starting to look better and better...
Well here another plan B that was tested earlier and it took 15 minutes from start to finish.
If you want to go to JB then I would recommend this rom and the only thing that you can't do on BN app is that you will not be able to use the books that have record your voice in book or play the read to me books (I think once you are not on the stock bn rom, those two parts stop working). I run kindle app for library loans, overdrive other e-readers without problems,

I got the MD5 mismatch error once when I renamed the Nandroid backup directory. I don't think it liked the spaces in the directory name. Try renaming it to the original name (if you even changed it).
There is a link in my signature that works to root at the very least firmware 1.4.3. Anything that you purchased from the B&N store will still be there if you restore to stock, if you install the Android Market again, anything you purchased will still be there (and you can go online and see anything free that you had installed, and install it from there).
If you do choose to install another ROM, same thing. Books purchased from the B&N Market should be available in the Nook app from the marketplace (I have not confirmed this with my own tablet, though).

I have done this with a nook color and it works.
I've basically spent my entire day off from work trying to root my Nook Tablet 8GB to get CM10.1 put on it, and I'm ready to yank my hair out. A while back I successfully got CM10 on an sdcard and have been running that from the sdcard while my warranty was still active (just in case). Now my warranty's run out, and CM10 had been running sluggish for a while, in spite of my cleaning off all unnecessary files regularly. So I figured I'd try an internal ROM install. After hunting around for some really good detailed instructions for noobs (because I totally am one), I found this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368) and decided that even though it looked inefficient to go from CM7 to CM10, it broke the steps down enough for me to follow along.
However, I'm now stuck with CWM not reading the sdcard once it's time to install CM7 and gapps from the zip files. I keep getting the message, "No files found." I've tried unmounting the sdcard (and mounting "sd-ext," just for kicks), and it says, "Error unmounting /sdcard." If I try choosing "format /sdcard," it says, "E:format_volume failed to unmount '/sdcard.'" I've tried popping it out and back in multiple times. I've tried formatting in SDFormatter over again (even did a full overwrite erase, which takes forever, b/c I got a message saying the device doesn't support flash erase). I've been using Minitool to ensure that the partition is always FAT32, primary, set to active. I've gone into the stock OS and used a workaround I found to ensure that it will install apps from unknown sources. I've tried doing the root again from the beginning (which is a pain in the butt because I only have 1 sdcard to use for both the root and the ROM, so I have to keep switching the files out). I have no idea what I could be doing wrong, but I fear that it's something really basic.
Does it matter that I'm leaving the partition labeled "boot" for the ROM install? Is there a better way to put the files on the sdcard besides just with a Windows drag and drop? Is there a way for me to reboot the Nook from within CWM to maybe force it to read the sdcard fresh (keeping in mind that the sdcard no longer has the CWM files on it by that point)? I've seen some info online about people having issues with this class of sdcard, but I really don't want to spend the money on a new one until I rule out the possibility of a stupid user error. I'm also loathe to give up and go back to running a ROM from the sdcard because I've already put over 8 hours into trying to make use of the full Nook memory... If anyone has suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Please keep in mind that any instructions will need to be very, very basic, though.

There is no point in flashing CM7 if you're aiming to immediately flash CM10 on top of it.
To flash CM10.x, I'd suggest you try the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42985699&postcount=117 if you'd like to use a more recent CM10.1 build.

To flash CM10.x, I'd suggest you try the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42985699&postcount=117 if you'd like to use a more recent CM10.1 build.
You'll need an older version of gapps to go with CM7, see http://goo.im/gapps.

Thank you, I'll try that tonight after work! After having been through the steps in the original instructions so many times, I'm familiar enough with things like Minitool Partition Wizard that I can get by with slightly less noobish instructions now. So that's one silver lining... [crosses fingers]
It seems to have worked! The first time I tried to turn it on after the install, the screen went and stayed black after the initial Cyanoboot screen. So I forced a reboot, but it appears to be running just fine! Thanks for the help!
I got a NT not long ago and it is now rooted and running CM10, however I still lost in regards the 1gb user partition. CM10 is installed in that partition and I wanted in fact repartition the NT but the process seems to be confuse and risky so I was wondering if I have to stay llimited to work with just 1GB.
How about games and other programs I download? Are they all be installed in that 1gb?
I inserted a 16gb card but I cannot re -direct the apps to install in the external or even move them to the sd ext card. I also cannot see it with a file manager.
Could I use the B&N partition to load movies, apps etc or it will be sitting there useless?
Is there maybe an easier way to re-flash and repartition?
Thank you
BUMP!
You can reaprtition the same way they do in stores if you want to and get an 8GB partition for own storage. The repart.img mentioned in many other topics will do that for you. You will loose everyhting and get right back to out of the box stock firmware if you do it, but it's really easy.

Thank you Asawi, yes I really would like to repartition it. I hate to have that wasted space.
I will try find the best thread on how to use the repart.img. or please point me out in case you already know.
Thanks!!

The download link is in the very beginning of this post. If you've got image writing software already you can then jump to step 2. Extract the downlad and burn the reaprt.img to a card. Insert card and boot to it. After a few minutes a green chejmark should appear. (If a red cross appears instead you're in trouble.) Remove card and an update starts and goes on for a few minutes and you can then start over with yout CM10 install again.

So after doing this will I have to reroot or I just have to reinstall cm10? Getting my 16gb card in the mail (hopefully today) should I wait to get the card or can I just copy everything from my 8bg to the 16 and everything remain? Thank you for your help!
It's probably me being stupid, but I don't understand what setup you have and quite what you are talking about. Running the repart .img will completely erase everything on the device and set it back to freshly bought. Whatever you have in internal memory that you want to save you need to save somewhere else.
I don't get your reasoning that CM10 is installed in your 1GB partition, because that is not the norm.
Probably me being stupid, but I can't help you.

Well, if you're installing CM10 you don't actually have to root as a separate process. Just install CM10 and rooting will come done at the same time. Itäs only if you plan to run stock you need to root.
If you have to go and get stuff from several pages you are probably not doing the installing in a very efficient way. Possibly things can be done a lot easier now than whe you originally did it.
Ihave made several posts outlining an extremely easy way to install CM. Look for them if you want to.

I had already done the root from a video I saw on youtube then used your link for cm from the [Q] Noob Alert! Nook Tablet 8GB Rooting Question! post. So just doing the cm from that same post will also root my device? I don't really need anything on the actually nook. I got it as a gift and use the kindle app for all my books. I will defiently look into your other posts. I just got the NT a little less than a month ago.
If you root before installing CM10 you'll just overwrite the root you did, so no point in doing it.
Once CM10 is installed your Tablet should be rooted.
All you need to do is get into CWM 6.x.x an flash the ROM and appropriate gApps zips.
Hello all,
I'm having a ton of trouble with my nook tablet 16GB. Yesterday I decided to to try to completely turn it into an android tablet with no trace of the nook remaining software wise. So at first I went to youtube and saw a vid how to root it, it had a link in the description on the software I would need.
Everything went fine, It gave me root and even had a separate home launcher/ menu that had gapps and all. Now If I knew the hassle I was in for i'd have left it there, but I didn't. So the next thing I did was go to the cyanogen site and and dl the latest stable build which is cm-10.1.2, dated july 11 2013. I put the zip on the root of my sd card and try to flash with CWM based recovery 5.0.2.8. It looks like it completes as it doesn't abort or give any error messages but It would just get to the cm logo screen, and spin for about two seconds and go back to cyanoboot.
Since I didn't want to go any further based on frustration, I decided to go back to stock and just forget it. I downloaded a stock 1.4.2 rom and flashed it with the 5.0.2.8 and it was fine. It booted into the nook os and everything was good. Now since my nook was originally 1.4.3 I wanted to get it back to that before I quit for good. So I dl the 1.4.3 update from B&N, place it on the root of the actual tablet to do the manual update but it keeps booting into the 5.0.2.8 recovery and thats there I am now.
Tried flashing different versions of stock roms, stock- rooted roms, custom roms, some fail to flash, some look like they flash completely but it always takes my back to the cm recovery. In need of some help guys/gals. Also, I know most of the responses will be "use the search" However I doubt that anyone is having exactly this issue, with exactly these circumstances surrounding it, so I probably wont get an answer that actually helps me any.
You need CWM 6.x.x to flash CM10 properly. You can use your current CWM to flash a new one but I would suggest using this near fool proof way instead. You can use whatever CM10.x ROM you want but make sure you get the right version gapps to go with it.
Copied from another topic:
I would suggest you start over again and here is really easy way to do it:
1. Download, extract and burn this ready-made CM10 sd image to a 2 GB (?) (or larger - not 100% sure of the size since I use a larger card myself) sd card. Use this card as a bootable CWM card. Even if it's a complete run-able CM10 it also works as a bootable CWM! Very handy!
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ t's a big download, but it's a more or less fool proof way of doing it! If I remember correctly there is actually room enough to put CM10 and GApps on the card. At least the one I use.
2. Boot into the recocvery of that card by pressing the "n" right after the power button and then hold the "n" to get to boot menu
3. In boot menu choose "sd recovery" ot something similar. This will take you to CWM
4. When in CWM install zips, wipe cache and Dalvik and you should be fine!
Once CM10 is installed it probably comes with CWM (the one I use does), so to get into CWM next time you need it, just hold "n" like before, but no need for a CWM card.
Edit: I checked, and there IS enough room for my favourite ROM and gApps on the boot section of the card. "My favourite" is the 1231 build on Iamafanof site. I have tried more recent ones, but I always go back to this one. Just my opinion of course! http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/

And FWIW, you'll find pretty much exactly the same story as yours told quite a few times here and pretty much always with a happy ending as long as you haven't started wiping and formatting things randomly.
Something you might have discovered if you had actually done some searches. I actually find your assumption that you wouldn't find a solution a little bit both nonchalant and slightly offending.

Ok i'm a little lost. I did what you said and got the image and wrote with win32diskimager. Put sd in and turned on power and to the sdc recovery and flashed it. I'm lost here. I figured there would just be another image cm mod 10 or something in the card and I would simply choose to flash it after selecting flash from sd or something to that effect.
I didnt see anything like that. Is there something i'm supposed to be flashing to install the clockwork mod? Your post says once I install cwm i'm good, but I don't know how to do that apparently because I don't see any rom to do so.
I am able to boot cyanogenmod from the card but that's not what I want to do. I want to flash it permanent to the rom and not have to worry about it again. How can I do this?
Btw I'm not sure if the flash worked totally, as If I just power one and do nothing it takes me to the clockwork mod 5.0.2.8. If I power on and hold the n the cyanboot will come up and I have to select the sdc recovery everytime just to make it show the 6.x.x.x version. I though your instructions would make the 6.x.x.x the default version from now on.
In any even, I'm still a little stuck. Lil more help please?
You need to put the files you want to flash on either that card or another card. Hence the comment about checking for space.

Are you actually reading what I write? I clearly tell that the card is meant to get you started as a bootable CWM card.
That means that it takes you into a CWM version that is correct for flashing CM10.X.
Once you are in the correct CWM you flash the same way you did when you had the wrong CWM.
Once you've done your flashing you will have everything installed internally and you can throw away the card.
And to be extra clear: You have to add the actual ROM and gApps to the card, or if there isn't enough room to another card.

That actually came to me as I was waiting for a reply. The reason I didnt thin of it sooner was that when I did the steps with the rooting stock nook it shrunk my card down to like 4 mb in size. I though this would do the same, and thus there would be no room for cm 10. However I decided to look and it was enough space. I just added the zip and flashed it with cwm 6.x.x. We'll see if it works
No luck. I flashed the cm 10.1.2 zip, I watch the blue status bar go all the way to the end, and the messages at the bottom say complete. I wipe the cache and the dalvik as suggested. and I hit reboot system. It just boots me right back into the cwm 5.0.2.8
Wich zip do you flash?
Try the one I suggest and if that works you can then flash another one to replace it if you want to.
You can start over with a completely 'virgin" stock Tablet in case it's your previous install of CWM 5 that's messing up things. Search for repart.img and run it and then start over again fresh

There is no need for all that. I did what you said. I booted into the proper clockwork mod 6.0.2.7, I figured out that I need to copy the cm10.2 rom to the card and flash. I did that. the problem is that even after flashing it wont boot to cm 10 from the internal storage. It still boots to cwm 5.0.2.8

Did you mistakenly format the /boot partition? It sounds like a bootloop. That could happen because a 512 byte file in that partition got deleted, I forgot the name of the file though.
Also, for future reference, you don't even have to root your devices (most of the time) to get a recovery image and aftermarket OS installed. This is what I followed to get CM10.1 on my Nook Tablet, a video guide by Ray Waldo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6D4s3okNQk
The OS he is using in that video is a live Ubuntu CD/USB, one of many Linux distributions. You need a program called GParted to set flags on the partition. If you want, you can instead get the live CD of GParted, but it wont be as user friendly as Ubuntu. (I'm a Debian guy myself though).

I flashed cm-10.1.2-acclaim directly from the cm site under stable releases. So that's exactly what its called? repart.img? Is that one size fits all or is there a specific one for the nook tablet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 go to first page first post. You already have the tools so you just download the BN file, extract it and burn the repart.img
When you run the repart.img a green check mark should appear after a couple of minutes. When it does take out the card and the restore starts. If you get a red cross instead of the green check mark it means you messed up something when you were fiddling around in CWM 5.
If it does work I suggest you then follow my previous instructions again and use the exact ROM I link to as a starter setup that you then can change once you've seen things work.

I followed that guild to the letter, but there is no green check, it just says that it will shut down in 5 secs and remember to take the card out before powering up . The guide says that it should restart, but it doesnt. So thats where I am now.
What's on the screen before it says it will shut down? I have not heard of anyone not getting either the green or red mark.

How far into this description from that topic does things work as described? I don't connect to computer when I do this. I just turn on power, but maybe some devices need to be kick started by inserting the powered USB cable. If so I would do that instead of pushing power button.
* Put that SD card in your Nook Tablet
* Connect your Nook to your PC/Laptop
* Hold the power button of your Nook until you see "n" logo pops up
* release the powe button, in 1-2 minutes you will see a messsge "Please DO NOT turn off your device.....installing new software"
* Now DONT do anythign to your Nook - Just sit back and relax
* Once Nook finishes installing IMG, a "Green Checkmark" will appear on top right hand corner
* Remove your SD card from your Nook Tablet
* You will see Nook will restart itself
* Then you will be see a message displaying "Clearing Data"
* Afterwords you will see a message displaying "Installing factory Software...Do not Turn off your device"

its a black screen with a picture of a nook with a green arrow pointing down and a red X at the top right of the screen.
I figure the red X will turn into a green check once its done because it says in red letters installing software do not turn off the machine.
the green check never comes it just says shutting down in 5 seconds remember to remove SD card before powering on.
I have to remove the SD card I have tried leaving to SD card in I have waited for it to reboot on its own I have tried to reboot it myself it just never gets to the clearing data portion that is described in the guide
Well like I said before, the red x means you messed up something when in CWM 5. Probably what Sagirfahmid suggested. If you've ruined the boot section I can't help you. It is fixable and there are instructions here since you're certainly not the first one to have done it. I haven't dealt with that myself though so I can't help.
Until you find out what to do, run CM10 from that image you downloaded. It's very good and performs very well even from sd-card

Since I suspect there's only a minor fault, here's something you can try. I have no idea if it can work, but it's worth a try! I have made a backup from a Tablet running CM10 and put a zip file of it in my Public DropBox folder. You can unzip it and try to use the restore fucntion in the CWM 6.x.x that you can get into with the sd-card you made. I don't think there is enough room for the backup file, but once CWM 6.x.x. is running you can switch sd cards. The reason I thought this would be worth a try is that the boot section is backed up, and in case there's a tiny problem with yours maybe this is all it needs to get going.
I will leave the link and the file for about 24 hours or until you say you've downloaded it (or say you're going to try something else instead).
Edit: Link removed. New link in later post!

Thanks for the hint, but it didnt work either. It just aborted. I actually had enough space to put your image on the bootable card. I book into cyanoboot, and go to sdc recovery. It brings up cwm 6.0.2.7 and i try to flash your image from the sd card but it fails.
Anyone know where I can get instructions on how to repair/restore/reflash boot section. I've running the tab off the card with the cm 10 rom as mention in earlier posts, but I'd really like to get this fixed so it boots internally. Any help in pointing me to some instructions would help. Thanks

Did you unzip it like I said you should? You are NOT supposed to flash it! You go to "backup and restore" in CWM 6.x.x and choose restore. Doesn't sound to me like that's what you did.
When unzipped it's a folder that probably is too big for the boot card but you can switch to another card once CWM 6.X.X is running.

My fault I didn't unzip it before. However, I just tried it now with the unzipped folder on the root of the sd card, and i selected backup and restore and it just keeps saying cant mound sd card. I'm going to try to from the internal storage since i was able to get the tablet to boot with the help of cyanoboot.
Edit:
I booted into cyanoboot and got to the os, I attached tab to pc and copied your unzipped file to the internal storage. It says no files found when I selected backup and restore in cwm 6.x

I think this time it's my mistake! It suddenly dawned on me that in CWM 6.x.x you can't just load the backup file like I was thinking. It need more. Hang on to the file and I'll see if I can figure out what else id needed!
