I would like to install the CM7.1 Stable that just came out. I've read the cyanogenmodwiki instructions and the instructions here, but I find both to to be confusing and conflicting with each other. I also watched the mobiletechvideo.com installation youtube.
I am wondering if the following would work.
From JFD Stock 2.1 root the phone and download Rom Manager.
In Rom Manager Flash Vibrant MTD (not Galaxy S Vibrant) Clockworkmod Recovery
Boot into recovery.
Wipe/format and fix permissions
Flash Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable +gapps
Reboot.
I am confused though, in the cmwiki instructions it says to format - but if I format everything won't the cm7.1 zip file on the internal SD also be destroyed?
Thanks in advance.
No, that would be a good method. It will still be on your sd, weeping doesn't format your card. (formatting your card would, different things).
Technically, you could Odin to jfd, take the cm7.1 download and my option b update.zip (noob guide) and that's all you need... Move those 2 to your internal.
Odin
Let it boot
Hold in both volumes + power
At Vibrant screen (booting) release
Now in stock recovery, reinstall packages
Now in cwr, flash 7.1
Reboot
done.

so no need to worry about the whole RFS vs YAFFS conundrum?
What issue? Even the main man himself (atinm) gives you both install methods.. The steps above are tested and work, much faster also. You could be booting 7.1 in under 10 minutes.
Looks like a nightly is already out too. I'd go stable.

sorry if this is a newbish question... but I wanted to know what I needed to actually get done when I get my tablet, and put CM7 on it... my question is is I put CM7 on via the restore backup method will CWM be installed internally as well... or will i need to flash that also?
IF YOU WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO CM7:
- First you need to install CWM using the sdcard method by Goncezilla because for sure you will get your tablet with 1.4.1 firmware which won't let you sideload apps.
- Second download the CM7 ROM to your computer, uncompress it and put the NTCM7 in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder, NOTE that if you don't have the /clockworkmod/backup folder in your SDcard then create it (CASE SENSITIVE).
- Boot into CMW> backup & restore> restore and pick up the NTCM7 folder
- Wipe data and advanced> wipe dalvik cache.
- Reboot, enjoy!
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO CM7:
ok pfff you have many options with this one my advice is go here and pick 1 of the 2 1.4.0 ROM's in the Rom's section and use the same sdcard method to install CWM and flash it as restore (same as CM7) as they are not flashable zips.

I'm running the internal install, it works very well and is super easy to install.
It's a fairly straightforward process and now that most of stuff needed is available, it shouldn't be terribly time-consuming for you. It didn't take me too long.
Here's how I did it (for an internal installation):
1. Enable Sideloading Apps and Root the Device. (Preferably on a factory-reset Nook Tablet.)
You can look around the Nook Tablet Development forum here for tutorials on how to sideload apps and then root the device, but it's a fairly easy process. Once it's rooted and you can sideload apps, you can move on to the next step.
2. Flash Clockwork Recovery onto your Nook Tablet.
I used this super-easy app by Indirect to install CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) onto my Nook Tab. It's literally one button press and you're good to go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458630
3. Follow Celtic's instructions here to install CyanogenMod 7 on the device.
Because of a serious problem with the SD-booting version of CM7 for Nook Tabs and some possible problems with the Internal install (I've had none with the internal version aside from some typical beta-quality bugs) Celtic took the links to the install files down until he and his fellow NT devs get the more serious issues fixed. Once the dangerous bugs are patched, however, you should be able to install rather painlessly using the instructions in Celtic's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826
Like I said, it was a virtually painless process for me. Totally worth it too, once the dangerous bugs are fixed.

How to return to 1.40 unrooted ?
At some point I will install cm7 internally, but how would you go back to stock 14.0 out of the box if you needed to ? Thanks
If I were needing to go back to stock I would use the acclaim_update.zip method posted in the dev section.
Due to the number of people not reading the below instuctions, I am putting this annoyingly large font right here.
NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP. MUST EXTRACT Clockworkmod Folder to SD and recovery from CWM. Watch the video...

people have been asking so i did it, made a video on how this can be used to restore back from CM7
This saved the day, after I restored my nandoid of rooted stock I lost all access to the barnes noble shop and could not access anything related to barnes and noble. I read of other people restoring there's back to stock and re rooting after experiencing the same issues as I to fix that issue. I knew there was an easier way and restoring this nand was it, seeing your back up was never registered in the first place. Your the man and I will be donating!

Put file:CWMrestore_1_4_0_ plus NTV16gbV4_6 in sd card, booted into cwm. In video you have two cards. Not sure which card this one is and what to put on other card. Assume that this file is an update or something and now doesn't require two?
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.
Thanks for any help.

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.
---Update--
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:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
Not sure what to do next...any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Unzip the file and use clockworkmod to do a restore..
Thats what I have already tried... But im gonna try again, maybe I messed something up...
after flashing recovery, try clearing cache and devlik while in CWM, then reboot.
Okay i read his entire thread almost at least 100 pages, I searched countless times for a dummies installation guide
My old andriod dell venue broke so, Okay i got mad and threw it lol, anyways i read reviews about the Samsung Galaxy S2 so got it, I decided i want ICS and i choose his as it looks more favorable among the others.
My Model number is GT-I9100
Andriod version 2.3.4
Can some one please take the time to tell me what is the correct steps to take to make my phone capable of installing this Rom
I seen his instructions
Install the Main ROM 1.4 (important: dont install siyah kernel yet )
install aokp gapps
Reboot

Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install the Main ROM
Install the Gapps for AOKP
In recovery go to Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot
This will be my first time doing this so can someone please dummy this down for me cause the install rom is greek to me, Do i need to put the rom somewhere, is there pre steps i must do before my phone will accept this
Thank you in advance to any one that helps
Hey,
Im assuming that you still have a factory standard phone so you will first need to root it. If you search google there is loads of guides on how to do this.
then you need to download and install CWM recovery (clockworkmod) again another google search
then you can proceed to the rom installation instructions
download the ROM (zip file ... dont unzip) and stick it somewhere on your SD card
turn your phone off then boot in to recovery by holding volume up, menu key and power button then do factory reset etc and then install zip from sd card (the zip being the ROM)
Please press the thanks button on this reply if you found it helpful
Cheers

Read and learn, everything is there for a noob : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24849218&postcount=3 thanks to JJE
Keep reading. All will come together. Basics first. Root then look on how to install roms. Patience.

First step you need to do is root the phone. I used the guide here after following what the guy was doing a few times in the video.
Then BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER as soon as you have root. An app called HC-KTool on the android market can do this. Be sure to verify your backup too and copy the efs.img to your PC for safe keeping.
Get titanium backup and batch backup all user apps and system data. Copy the folder on your internal SD onto your PC also.
Boot into CWM and make a backup here too.
Now you are ready to flash a ROM - Resurrection Remix ICS 1.4 here contains links and FAQ.
As it's your first ROM install you should follow the full installation guide in the FAQ. I stayed with the stock kernel as had problem with siyah and theroux.
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.

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
