I'm really hoping this is a simple question for someone. I am trying to restore a backup and I keep getting the "Couldn't open directory" error. I am using Cmod recovery v4.0.0.4 (yes I know it's very old but I have also tried a newer version with the same results). I flashed the ROM from 4.0 (I believe) to 4.2. The tablet is working fine I would just like to restore my backup.. Can someone please tell me where the program is looking for these files and how to create the proper directory structure. I have moved them to a number of different places without any luck. I see the backup directories(and files,etc) I am just missing something. Also the program tells me it is writing the errors to a recovery.log file but I am unable to locate it. The backups are on the hard drive not an sdcard. I also moved them to my PC just in case. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Jim
Bump. Can anyone help this guy? He's in trouble

Just wondering, is it possible to create a bootable sd card with CWM and then flash the acclaim_update.zip by AdamOutler. I know that the zip had to be created in a certain way for it to be flashed from CWM. I tried it anyways on my tablet and it gave me an error.
I was just wondering if anyone else has tried and had success with it. This is something out of curiosity, I have my NT rooted using Nook&Zergy, just waiting for CM7 or CM9
Thanks in advance.
I'm sure it "could" be done but I can't see it as being a priority or even necessary. The acclaim file on SD is I belive the factory method and actual factory file. It works and is easy.
What more could you ask for...
I know you can unzip the acclaim file. Try that and dig around inside. And I'm sure others can point you in the right direction if you really want to do this.
So, like an idiot I wiped/data/system to install a new Rom and didn't double check to make sure the file was good. I can get into ClockworkMod no problem but I have my nandroid and various other downloaded Roms on my microsd card. I'm trying to adb push a Rom while in Clockwork but it keeps failing. What am I doing wrong? Tips please? Thanks much!
Bump, Bump
What I'm getting is "Protocol Failure" every time I try to push a Rom zip to my sdcard. Thoughts?
Is it the size of the file? I just successfully pushed a smaller image file.
After much frustration and trial and error, I got this fixed and back up and running. Ended up having a driver issue with ADB. Master Zen's flash script came in real handy and I highly recommend it if any of you run into a similar problem!
Hi
Trying to root my table tand get it to work, I have not succeeded something operational yet. I have made a root & CWD sd card, and in the process had backed up my tablet. I copied thgis backup to my PC as I had to try different things with the sd card.
So now I d like to restore (to start afresh) but... I google it around, and dont find any procedure!?
I am sure it is known... and am dummy... but can't invent neither.
I need use those files, because I cant read .apks and try the apk based nook restore.
How should I go?
Your help appreciated
I apologize if this question has been asked before; I have done some digging through the forums but I have been unable to find a complete solution/explanation for this problem. Essentially, I cannot copy NANDROID backups created through twrp recovery to my computer. I am using an HTC one AT&T version and a win7 computer. Obviously I have no sd card so I need to copy the backups from the internal storage. I find the backup folder just fine along with the backups I want (upwards of 3gb in size). However, when I try to copy them via USB or network transfer through an android file browser on the phone, only a few mb of files are copied, and no errors are generated. Other forum posts indicate that a simple copy and paste should work. While others indicate some sort of vague copy permissions setting preventing this action. The only solution that I've not tried is using "adb pull". I have no idea how to do that as I have zero experience playing with adb. Before digging into that and trying to figure out how to set up adb and find the relevant commands to do what I want, I would like to know if there is a simpler method of accomplishing copying my NANDROID backups. Any help would be appreciated, sorry if this is a noob question.
Ok, I rooted my NT using external SD card and was able to toggle between android 2.3.4 and B&N OS. I have been spending days trying to figure out how to upgrade to CM 10.2 (and have been unsuccessful due to endless tutorials posting invalid files). I finally found a tutorial on this forum and there was a part that specifically said to not mess with the drive that my nook was plugged into. Well...too many windows up, too long on forums etc...long story short...I messed with that drive.
So now my NT boots up to the B&N start up screen; but I get a forced restart error and an error message that says that nook root file stopped working. The touch screen doesn't work and I can't do anything but power off.
Is there ANYONE who can help me? I'll be eternally grateful!
You might consider trying this repart.img method described at http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/.
files won't extract
When I googled feverishly for a solution, I did find that website and tried that method. The problem that I'm having with this entire process is that most of these files are invalid, missing a part or corrupted. I've tried using WinRAR and 7-zip and neither program is able to successfully extract the files; this repart img included. This project of mine has turned into a frustrating debacle!
Thank you for your reply, though!
I'd suggest you burn a pre-made SD CM10.x image from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/ and see if you can successfully boot and run it.
If that works you can proceed to restore the internal emmc image either by using the repart.img method or by flashing flash_stock_1.4.2.zip from https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard. See also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575489 for potential helpful info and pointers.
When I extract files, this is the message I get from most of the files I unzip. I tried the cm10.2 img file and I couldn't extract it. I included a screenshot of the error message I keep getting. I've tried several different unzip programs and it's always the same error.
Bad download? Redownloaded and same error?

Did you try the alternate mirror on Mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/download/bo2qu6v4qo9p6a2/cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RC0_13OCT2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z?
Also FWIW I use 7-zip archive manager program (www.7-zip.org/download.html‎).
