**Unrooting and Reinstalling Honeycomb ROM on Nook**
If you're looking to get back to a honeycomb-based rom, you'll need to go through an unroot procedure. This process requires flashing a custom recovery image onto an sd card, which is necessary due to the erasure of the recovery partition in the original rom.
The first step is to create a recovery image sd card using the Clockwork Recovery bootable sd card image. To do this, download the file from the specified location and extract it to a folder on your computer. Once extracted, you'll have an img file that contains the recovery image.
Optional steps include reformatting the honeycomb sd card image, which was used as a bootable partition in previous roms. To do this, power on your Nook without the sd card inserted and boot up normally. Next, insert your memory card into the poorly designed memory card slot and navigate to Settings > Device Info > SD Card > Unmount > Format. Once formatted, turn off your Nook and remove the sd card.
Next, plug your sd card into an sd adapter and connect it to a computer. Using the Win Image program, select the sd card reader as the physical drive where the ClockworkMod Recovery.img file is located. Select all files in the directory and hit "Open" to begin flashing the recovery image.
Once the flashing process is complete, download the Honeycomb ROM from the developer's post. Scroll down to find the flashable zip file and save it to your computer. Be cautious not to unzip the file or put it in any folders; simply leave it on the sd card itself in the boot drive.
Insert the memory card into the usb adapter and remove it from the computer. Turn on your Nook and wait for the ClockworkMod Recovery to load. Use the volume buttons to navigate down to "Mountain Storage" and select "Format System", then "Format Data", and finally "Format Boot". If the recovery freezes after completing these steps, hold down the power and end buttons until the screen turns off.
After successfully booting into the ClockworkMod Recovery, choose the option to install the ROM from the sd card. Select the Honeycomb.zip file and hit "Yes" to begin installing. Wait for the installation process to complete, then turn off your Nook by holding down the power button until it shuts off.
Remove the sd card and turn on your Nook again. The device will boot up and display the honeycomb unlock screen. Once unlocked, you'll be asked to choose a launcher; select "Launcher" and "Use by Default" to install the normal honeycomb launcher.
With this process complete, you should now have a faster and more functional Honeycomb ROM running on your Nook. Enjoy!
