Donate ;P and hit thanks

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).
Thanks!

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?

After rooting with your sd i can`t access settings-keyboard, error: The aplication Settings has stoped bla bla bla...i wouldn`t bother, but i really need russian keys sometimes...(

i have a 8gb nt and i tried unbricking using this method... flashed recovery... and still stuck at the n screen. does not move past it.
Do I flash the rom or put the folder on sd card and restore if I am trying to do the unbrick process on my 8gb nt? I tried the restore but still just get stuck at the n screen.
any help would be appreciated.

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.
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

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

Guys,
I've looked long and hard on t'interwebs for an answer to this. I'm currently trying to do do a fresh reinstall on my Prime. My Prime hasn't been unlocked, it was rooted before I did the Jellybean update though and I removed a few Asus apps with Titanium backup. I'm trying to get it to run super smooth so that's why I want the complete fresh reinstall.
I've downloaded the latest V10.4.2.15 WW firmware off the Asus website, and upzipped the file so I'm left with the 2nd zip file which is contains. Put this on a FAT32 formatted SD card. I've also tried to copy this onto the root of the internal memory of the Prime. I just can't get the device to see the firmware and reinstall though. Is this because the device is already running V10.4.2.15? Is their any way around this without unlocking the Prime? I've also tried to reinstall using the boot menu, but it won't give me the option either.
Please help!
I also tried to reinstall the update by putting it on a sdcard and had no luck. I concluded that this method must only work for a true upgrade.

Outside of trying in flash/recovery mode try this:
Rename the Zip file you put on the SDCard for JB to the same name as the last 9.4 OS: US_epad-user-9.4.2.28.zip
With that on the SDCard it may take a removal/reinsert of the SDCard but it should offer to "Downgrade" but once you reboot in to recovery it will be a full flash of new OS. It did NOT wipe my data. I would recommend doing that after. Shutting down and then booting with vol down and power on until the recovery menu comes on then using vol down I believe it is to move the selected option over to "WIPE" then vol up to initiate.
This should yield a "Clean install".
For those nay-sayers out there, I had partial root until I did the above and lost it so I know it overwrites the OS paritition.
Cheers. I'll give that a go when I get home. I'm not too fussed about losing root. I'm even thinking about trading my Prime in for a Nexus 10 depending on the performance of my Prime after the rebuild.
Hmm.. renamed the .zip to WW_epad-user-9.4.2.28.zip but when I when the Prime sees it, I get no notification Tried a reboot but still get nothing. Anyone with any other ideas for this? Can anyone else confirm this works for them?

Hrm, I just did it again with the US version because my exchange syncing broke.
My file was called US_epad-user-9.4.2.28.zip
Again, this assumes you have unzipped the official ASUS ROM download from their site and unzipped that file. This will yield a new zip file which is what I renambed and put on the ROOT of my SD card formated as FAT.
I just wrapped it up too, did a full app backup with the asus tool, wiped, reflashed this ROM again and restored and resynced exchange.
You might try giving it the US name. I don't think it would matter because the contents are correct for your device.
I'll try and format the card as FAT instead of FAT32. I'll also try US. Really hope this works!

[Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk].
I've been running CM10 build by XDA Developer Succulent version 12/08 on SD card since its release ten days ago, and its reliable/stable performance has crossed the threshold for me to finally take the plunge and install it internally on emmc.
FWIW, here the process I used to install CM10 internally on my 16GB Nook Tablet (i.e., on its emmc).
Using a disk partition tool (such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) create on SD card a Primary FAT32 partition, and set the partition ID type for the partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag. Once this is done, the partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows. If you are going to use this card for backing up your NT, keep in mind that each backup will require at least 600MB (for a barebone stock or CM config) and size the partition accordingly.
Obtain and copy to the SD card the following files:
MLO, u-boot.bin, and flashing_boot.img in SD_boot.zip obtained from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/
either one of the two recovery program image files: cwm_6012_sd.img (ClockworkMod Recovery (aka CWM)) in CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip, or twrp_2220_sd.img (TeamWin Recovery Project (aka TWRP)) in CM9-10_TWRP_v2.2.2.0_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958, rename it to recovery.img. If you want to try out (or use) both, name your alternate choice altboot.img.
the file cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/
the file gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Put the SD card into the NT, and boot from its power off by inserting a powered USB cable. Press and hold the N button as soon as CyanoBoot comes up to get the boot menu to display.
Select either SDC Recovery (or Alternate Boot depending on which recovery tool you want to use).
Select Backup to backup your current NT config (/boot, /recovery, /system, and /data). Before proceeding to next step, see note (ii) near the end of this post.
Select Wipe data & factory reset.
Select install zip from SD card and install cm-10 zip file.
Select install zip from SD card and install gapps zip file.
Select power of and remove SD card from NT and power NT on again using the power button (alternatively you can just remove SD card and select reboot).
Once the NT boots up, set up the wifi connectivity and your google account info. If you had previously used Google backup service your apps will be auto-downloaded (but their settings will not be auto-restored)
A few additional points worth noting:
Installing CM10 ROM and gapps will override your NT's BN-provided boot, recovery, ROM, and Apps, so make sure that you backup all this stuff using backup process in step #5 above, safekeep the backup data on your PC/Laptop and better yet archive it on CD/DVD. Your media files in the NT media partition BN allocates for user should be intact.
To play it safe you should do the above in 2 phases: steps 1 through 5, then exit recovery and remove and mount SD card on PC to verify that backup data got newly created; then insert SD card and continue steps 6 through 9.
CWM and TWRP use different backup archive formats, so keep this in mind if you decide to switch. Furthermore, CWM has changed its archive format going from release 5.x to 6.x, so I think it would be prudent to save a copy of the recovery program together with the backup data it generated. (FWIW I prefer the tar/zip compatible backup data structure TWRP uses (which CWM 5.x had also used) over the BLOb structure which CWM 6.x use -- but YMMV).
To restore from backup data, boot into SD card and select from boot menu the same recovery program that was used to create the backup data, then select the particular backup dataset (indexed by date/time) you want to reinstall on your NT.
I would advise against blindly using other functions of the CWM and TWRP without looking up info and researching to understand what they really do.

My thanks to all the developers who collective work created this wonderful ROM as well as the tools and info I made use of to install it. IMHO this ROM helps make the Nook Tablet one of the best-value tablets for the money (at least at the moment).
great post...fwiw here's my experience to get two NT16's up and running (I started with an old CM7 on both of them).
Backup nook with titanium backup on existing 32GB card.
Take screenshots for replacements
Reset nook to stock (1.4.2) and update to latest (1.4.3) with a fresh SD Card with repart.img copied to root (my red 2GB card):
http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/make-unbrick-repartition-image/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu6e4m62tFc
c. 1.4.3 can be downloaded from B&N site directly. (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Tablet/379003187/)
Create a CWM SD Card (ideally 4GB SanDisk) as per these instructions - http://raywaldo.com/2012/05/root-nook-tablet-with-cwm-sdcard/
Copy CM7 BETA and compatible GAPPS onto this card or another blank one. You can get the files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826 and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Boot into this CWM Card, wipe data/wipe cache and dalvik cache. Install zip from sdcard (either current or pop in the new one). Choose cm-7 beta first, then gapps. Remove sd card. Reboot. Wait a while for it to set itself up.
Go into settings/applications and clear the cache for google market/play.
You now have CM7 installed and can setup the basics (google, wifi etc..)
Insert your 32GB (or 16 or 8 or whatever) Sandisk SD Card (it should ideally have the Titanium Backup folder from step 1, any media you want in Music and Movies folder and the CM10 and gapps zip in the downloads folder -- and that's it!)
Once mounted, download Goo Manager from the google play store and run it, accepting superuser requests.
Choose settings menu and "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it should install openrecovery twrp recovery manager. Once it has installed and informed you of success, reboot into recovery (this is important), upon reboot hold the "n" and choose internal emmc recovery from the menu.
You will now find yourself in TWRP. From the install menu, add the CM10 PURE AOSP 4.1.2 JBV06.1-Hashcode and then the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and swipe to confirm flash. This is it. Fingers Crossed!
NOTE: On one NT 16 (I have two), step 12 DID NOT WORK. It wouldn't install the CM10...zip -- and simply rebooted itself or hung...so I powered off, and rebooted to the CWM Card in #6..and used CWM to wipe caches etc… and then installed the two zips...and voila.
hope it helps.

I've been running CM10 build by XDA Developer Succulent version 12/08 on SD card since its release ten days ago, and its reliable/stable performance has crossed the threshold for me to finally take the plunge and install it internally on emmc.

How do you feel about it now that you've installed it internally? I took the plunge as well today, but I'm not sure it's runs any better internally than it does from the sd card. Having said that, it runs so incredibly well from the card, so it's really hard to beat, but still... I'm actually having more issues with the internal install than the sd version.
I had had enough of the stock reader (that I'm actually pretty fond of) not remembering my place in sideloaded books, so I didn't feel I had anything to loose and am glad I made the install though. Installed once makes it easier to reinstall when an even better build comes along.
I made the switch since the stock ROM was so barebone and clumsy I virtually never use it since I had the NT, and the rooted stock ROM is just marginally better -- I found out there are so many apps I 've been using on CM10 that are simply not available for BN's (Android) Gingerbread. I also like the fact that I can now reboot (if ever needed) untethered.
I think performance-wise it runs about the same as it was running on SD, if it's better then it's not yet noticeable.
What kind of issues are you having with your new setup?
Some apps misbehaved. Didn't install properly or gave error messages. I decided to re flash and this this second install hasn't had any issues at all. Same files from the same card.
It is nice to have it internally and be able to switch sd cards should I want to.

I ran into a problem with v12/08: when I connect the NT to the PC I do not get the “USB connected” notification with option to “turn on the USB storage”, and thus cannot access neither the emmc media partition nor the sdcard. The problem exists with both CM10 running on emmc and running on sdcard. Furthermore when running on sdcard, hitting “storage” in “settings” results in a force-close of “settings”.
I am curious if anyone else has the same problem, or I am just missing some setup setting somewhere.
In the meantime, I am back to running another ROM off SD.
Those storage setting issue I had with the 1118 build but not with later ones. Connection to PC work fine but I don't think I need to do the turn on USB thing. No PC nearby at the moment
Edit: I am now near a PC, and I do get the "touch to turn on USB" or words to that effect. So it works as it should..

Thanks, I've tried reinstalling a couple of times (as well as installing a different ROM) without success.
I found the answer to my problem: I was used to getting the full-screen alert “USB mass storage” (upon insertion of tethered USB cable), and didn’t notice the tiny alert “USB connected” on the status bar (which when pulled down would in turn launch the “USB mass storage” alert).
Question: I'm not new to rooting and flashing, but am new to NT. I rooted my wifes NT, installed a launcher to switch back and forth, and loaded a few apps. I did not change the stock recovery and used a boot sdcard to run an older version of CWM. I forgot to hack OTA off so while messing around the darn thing upgraded to 1.4.3. The stock rom is such an old version of GB it is really worthless. So here is my question. Can I use this method to go directly to CM10? Im not too concerned about the issues mentioned in this thread, but more concerned about the method and the type of issues I might encounter. I see some threads say to flash CM 7 first, why I'm not sure. It almost looks to simple. Just looking for confidence. If it were mine I wouldnt care. Thanks for any help.

Cm7 is a gingerbread rom, it can be flashed by cwm 5 and 6 both. But cm10 is jellybean and must be flashed with cwm 6 only (or twrp) . And once you have cm7, you get cyanoboot (2nd bootloader) which is necessary to load cwm6, whether its internally flashed recovery or SD card recovery.
If you still have your bootable SD card, boot into recovery and check the version (cwm 5 most likely) , then do the longer, but simpler method - stock > cm7 > flash cwm6 internal and boot into it from cyanoboot > cm10.
I see the difference between the 2 methods..a few more questions. I dont see where or how recovery gets flashed in the first method. Looks like either/both are used but not flashed. In both methods, I dont see any sdcard additional partition requirements so can I assume everything can get copied to the boot partition? Haven't looked at the card I made yet, but if CWM is current enough for CM7 it should work fine. I appreciate this thread. It has cleared up a lot of questions.

Yes, you can use this process to go directly from stock or rooted stock to CM10 -- I used it to go from rooted 1.4.3 directly to CM10. With SD-based flash, there is no need to go the circuitous multi-stage flashing process.
And if you use Succulent's CM10 builds from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/ his ROM zip files all include emmc recovery so you don't even have to separately flash recovery as you would have with other ROMs. I think his approach, in addition to being convenient, has the benefit of avoiding intermediate states where there is potential incompatibility between ROM and recovery versions (which I think is conducive to causing bootloop).
Of course if for some reason you later prefer a different version of recovery than the one he includes (CWM 6.0.2.5) you can always reflash your particular choice of recovery by itself.
FWIW I am running Succulent's cm-10-20121225-acclaim-HD.zip (GCC 4.6) at the moment and it works great.

Everything that gets flashed via recovery (either CWM or TWRP) comes in zip archive form, and this applies to ROM, gapps, as well as recovery itself. (If you ever want to flash recovery, the simplest way is to get a recovery zip file, such as one of those with keyword emmc from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958, and flash it from SD using the process in the first post, just as you would flash a ROM build or gapps).
If you are curious about what gets installed and where, just open (but don't extract) the to-be-flashed zip file (e.g., using winrar/winzip/7-zip): everything except the META-INF folder is what get installed, and the updater-script file in META-INF\com\google\android\ (which you can open using a text editor like notepad) contains installation script detailing where (i.e., which partition on the NT) various components of the zip file get installed.
Typical ROM builds zip contain boot.img which gets installed on /boot partition, and a bunch of system files and apps to be installed on /system partition. Succulent's ROM builds also include recovery which gets installed on /recovery partition. Finally gapps apps get installed on /system as well.
Really, really appreciate this OP, the replies, and the knowledge. VERY helpful. Wont do this til the 1st and will let you know the results... Again, THANKs

Well your method worked flawlessly. I had a few minor operator errors but it went just as you explained. I did, however, have a fatal bug in the rom. Not sure who to report it to, but while messing around in settings I tried to change the color of the clock in the status bar. It totally blew away systemui. I tried everything I knew of to restart and recover but had to resort to wipe/factory reset. Could not figure out what data file got corrupted. That in turn made me have to flash the gapps again because none of the Google apps worked including play store. The net result is to add 1 more step to your method. BEFORE messsing with settings, and after the initial setup is complete, boot to recovery and do another backup..I forgot to mention I flashed 20121231, which is the latest release. Thank you so much for your knowledge and reseach. STOCK ROOTED TO CM10 RELEASED.

Stuck on backup in CWM 6.0.1.2
My 16gbNT is currently running Team_B CM7. I'm trying to install Kuzma30's CM10.1 from a SD card. Following the instructions from this OP. While trying to perform my backup the process gets about 3/4 of the way through and then sticks at the file named "generic11.lda". It doesn't continue after that and I have left it alone for a considerable amount of time. Any idea what's causing the stick? I've tried it about three or four times with occasionally sticking at different files but it is still about 3/4 of the way through. Backup will not finish.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'd suggest trying a version of CWM that is considered compatible with CM7, e.g., CM7-9_CWM_v5.5.x_8gb-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958 (but then remember to flash CM10.1 with 6.0.1.2).
Also check and make sure that you have enough space on your SDcard (you can/should remove backup data associated with failed partial backup attempts).
Backup success, Install failure

Backup successful! Thanks button pressed. Now on the install I used CWM 6.0.1.2 and I'm not allowed to complete the install. It aborts installation and gives the following error:
"Installing update...
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1-20130102-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
Any ideas?
Your guide is quite clear but somehow it is not working for me. I have a fresh NT 8GB with stock 1.2 on it.
I obtained the 6 files you mention:
- u-boot.bin
- MLO
- flashing_boot.img
- recovery.img (= cwm_6012_sd.img)
- gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
- cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip (from: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/)
I copied them to a 16GB 10x SD card and placed the SD card in my NT.
The problem is that whatever I do, it always boots the stock os and never into Cyanoboot. I know I have to connect the NT to my computer with USB and wait for it to boot, but even then it only load the stock OS.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Help much appreciated!
