Touch-Formatter (Tool to return to stock)

• Information:
  
  
  • What it does:
    • Formats: /data, /cache, /system
    • Installs 1.1 /system.
    • Regenerates /data automatically.
  • Bugs:
    • CWM may not refresh the screen correctly when booted, move the cursor with the right keys so it refreshes the screen.
    • If CWM hangs while rebooting, dont worry, force shutdown, and start your nook again, nothing bad happens.
  • Future updates: (In order of priority).
    • Update to 1.1.2
    • Be compatible with NSTG (Nook Simple Touch Glowlight)
    • Differentiate between the NST and NSTG (Nook Simple Touch Glowlight) so to make only one zip.
    • Backup /factory + Wipe the complete NST + Recreate the whole NST partition table + Restore /factory

• User manual:
  
  
  • Things you will need:

       Download it and burn it to an sd-card, (windows users use this to burn the imagehttps://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download)
       You must have an external microSDCard reader to burn CWM, not the NST.
    2. The button layout of CWM:
       Both Buttons on the left: BACK
       Upper button on the right: UP
       Lower button on the right: DOWN
       n button: SELECT
       Power button: TOGGLE DISPLAY
    3. Zips:
       Download http://nooter.googlecode.com/files/A...matTouch-2.zip
       
       Old:
       Download http://nooter.googlecode.com/files/A...ormatTouch.zip and copy it on the sd card burnt with CWM
  • Instructions:
    1. Copy the zip onto the root directory of the sdcard you burned the CWM.(Don't extract them)
    2. Insert the sdcard on your nook, and boot it.
    3. On CWM select install zip from sdcard
    4. Then select choose zip from sdcard
    5. Select Alpha-FormatTouch-2.zip, click yes and wait till the process finishes.
    6. Go back, eject the sd card, and click reboot.

On future updates I'll try: automatically make a backup of /factroy, recreate the whole nook partition table so that people that screw hard can breathe new life into their NST easily.
