hi All. I followed the directions from Rico somewhere in this thread. I believe on page 38. Even after flashing the new cwr it went into a boot loop until I cut it off holding powerbutton and cutting back on. It seems to be fine but I'm just afraid to flash anything just in case it wants to go through the bootloop of no return.
(How To) Installing/Using ClockworkMod, Rom manager, nandroid backup, custom kernels

faceman and J515OP - thanks for quick replies. I was not completely clear on teh CWR vs. ROM mgr so that helps A LOT. I am in J5's situation so want to just confirm. Since I have ROM mgr installed but not CWR, do I first open ROM mgr, choose flash CWR, and then do the cwr_recovery steps as noted above or something else? Just wanted to be clear prior to getting into an issue again.

If you have no CWR or CWR v3.0.0.5 (or earlier): DO NOT "FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY" FROM ROM MANAGER - at this time (and version of ROM Manager) it WILL NOT install completely.
The only way to properly install CWR v3.0.1.0 is to do it manually or by using the flashable zip I linked to a few posts back.
To get more technical - there are two main parts to the CWR program, the recovery kernel and the recovery package. ROM Manager does NOT flash the kernel properly, thus ending in a partially installed CWR. So for now, use the flashable zip above.

Face, is that because of the "old Nook" "new Nook" issue? It can be done (*can be does not mean should be*) but it is a coin toss over which to choose at this time? If you got a partial install I thought you could go back and try the other one then it should work? I don't know if it was ever clearly solved in anything I read before but I didn't think it was too hard to correct by picking the option you didn't pick the first time.

OK so you want me to use this:
Link to flashable CWR v3.0.1.0 zip file (this should be placed whole onto the above bootable SD and installed via CWR)
---cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip - md5: d7a550d683e54732bcb55eff24ada704
Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Correct?
I don't have a 'blank' sdcard at the moment so will either have to backup my existing one and use that to create the bootable sdcard or get a new one. I'll follow the instructions for the bootable sd and place the zip mentioned above onto the root of the card and go from there. Once that process is done, is there anything I need to do other than book into CWR and run a backup (just to ensure I have a new/good backup)? Thanks!

No that is a separate issue. It's being debated still, but IMHO, the correct choice of which device to select when flashing recovery depends on what rom you are running. But if you manually install CWR either via ADB or the flashable zip, you don't have to do that step in ROM Manager.
Yes, use that. However, if you do not have a bootable Sd card, or an extra sd card available to make one -- then you should be able to install ROM Manager, Flash Recovery (even though it won't be complete - select 'Nook(OLD)' as your device), Power OFF, Power On, Open ROM Manager and select 'Reboot into Recovery' and then install from zip the flashable CWR v3.0.1.0 -- Believe it or not you can install a newer CWR while running CWR. I have not done this personally but have read where others have been successful.

This is what I was getting at. Ok, so even with the partial install as long as you can boot into CWR and have the zip on the card you can get CWR installed correctly. That is what I thought.
I agree that your first method is cleaner though if you have the ability to setup a boot card.

Thanks to you both. I noticed ADB was mentioned. I have ADBWireless installed. Is that another option to get this done? Don't want to have to make another option be made but thought I would ask as maybe it is the 'best' option?? If not and you don't want to even go there, no problem, I have the 2 options above and will figure out which one to go with and report back once I have.

Do what J515OP is saying, just get the flashable zip and install that from whatever version of CWR you currently have to update yourself.
ADB is the manual manual way, not necessary when you can flash it.

OK done. Followed the instructions above doing the flash clockwork recovery from within ROM mgr, rebooted, from ROM mgr rebooted into recovery, installed zip from sd card, selected reboot from CWR menu and am now back in NC as usual. No problems. I do notice that in ROM mgr is still says ClockwordMod is 3.0.0.5 still but recall that is a known issue. Is there anyway to confirm anywhere else? Should I try and reboot into recovery again and not do anything other than reboot back to NC to confirm I am not stuck in any CWR loop and confirm all appears to be well? Guess it wouldn't hurt to try that first.
From here I guess I'll be able pick up in the OP at making a nondroid backup, but if I am missing anything let me know. Again, thanks a lot to all of you, great help, good instructions, and quick feedback, even for us new guys. It is much appreciated.
