Root More problems than I can count

I've had my NC for a year. About 6 months ago I rooted it using AutoNooter. Things were fine unless I had to turn my Nook off. Whenever I turned it off, I would have trouble with it automatically restarting 5 or 6 times before it would finally stay on.

I decided yesterday that I would try CM7 since I wanted Netflix and still wanted to have a full tablet unlike just using the Nook 1.4 upgrade.

I used Huskermania's Youtube video to help me get CM7 and Gapps on my Nook. I did just what the video said, but I never got the little Android guy and the welcome to Nook Color set up screens.

What I have now is my NC running CM7 with no app store, the wrong time (since I couldn't figure out how to set up my time zone) and the damn thing keeps either freezing up or rebooting itself. I can, however, get online.

Totally at my wits end. I wonder if there's been a problem with this Nook right from the beginning. When I first got it last Christmas I had trouble with it rebooting.

I have no idea what to do. I'm not really savvy with this technology. All I can tell you is that I am running... (GRRR, I just went to go to my settings to tell you what I'm running when ADW Launcher quit and froze my Nook). Okay, that's it. I just froze again and now it rebooted itself.

What do I do?
 
Yes, I used 7.0.3 Encore and the version of gapps he said to useI suppose I have to un-root the Nook first before I start over?

Any ideas about the constant rebooting/freezing?

The link you sent is all Windows based and I am running on a Mac. What would the differences be?
 
You want to use CM7 7.1.0 and gapps 20110828 regardless of your Mac or PC preference.

I'm running CM7 from a microSD card, so I'm not personally familiar with replacing the stock OS with CM7. But I *think* you should be able to flash 7.1.0 from your recovery SD.
 
Chocophile - do I follow the same instructions I used before from huskermania only with the updated files? I'm sorry I'm such a pest, but I am so very confused.
 
Okay. I will do that. First though should I restore my Nook? If so, to what version?

I have a 12GB card that has all the huskermania files on it already. I am going to reformat that card and start it from scratch.

In your version, I don't have to launch the terminal and unmount the disk from my computer like I did before. Right? I just want to make sure I am doing it properly.

Thanks.
 
No need to return to stock, just make sure you do the formats (system, cach, data).

No need to do terminal/command windows. It's a good idea to remove and replace the disk after flashing tho.
 
I've downloaded the files.

I have 7.1.0CMEncore.zip

The gapps downloaded as a folder called: gapps-gb-20110613-signed. I saw a newer one which downloaded as a folder called; gapps-gb-20110828-signed.

Inside the folders are two additional folders called META-INF and system.


1) Do I extract the CM7 file first?
2) What's up with the gapps file? Is it supposed to be in that folder?

I hope you're not pulling your hair out like I am! I'm ready to pay big bucks to anyone who can get me out of this jam.

Thanks for your help, but I give up. I'll just use Nook 1.4 and be thankful I didn't brick the thing trying a dozen times to get CM7 up and running.
