[Q] Does running off of SD do anything to the nook itself? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this is a simple question, but I haven't seen an exact answer in my searches thus far. So...if I put a nice CM7 build on an sd card and boot off of that, does it do anything to my actual nook? I mean, if I removed the sd card and rebooted without it, my stock nook would have nothing left over from the CM7 activity, right?

That is correct. I have Honeycomb on an SD and CM7 running internally. Once you remove the SD and reboot, you are back to whatever your native EMMC rom happens to be.

There's a slight amendment to that: the usual CM7 on SD install uses the /cache filesystem on the emmc for its own cache (clever idea!), so you may need to clear cache when you switch.
But that's a nit.

Can i use my CM7 microSD in the stock nook OS?

Card is inserted but the Nook OS says it isn't. The card is formatted so it boots up to CM7, which is working fine, but I'd also like to use the card for storage when in the stock OS. Is this possible?
it should be able to.

Strange...when I reboot into stock (i.e. remove the sd card, reboot, then insert) the Nook OS doesn't see it. Any ideas?
<edit>
Problem was that I needed to boot into stock using the boot menu, but the problem now is that the Nook stock OS only sees the boot partition, and not the CM7 user data partition where all of my books, videos, pics, etc are stored. Thoughts?
Thanks!
If you are trying to use the same storage area for both ROMs I don't think that is going to happen. The stock ROM will be looking in one place and the CM7 ROM will be looking in another. You have some control over where the stock ROM looks but not for the B&N apps and books.
the only way for stock and CM7SD to see the same partition as "sdcard" is to edit system files in stock... but then its not stock any longer

[Q] Nook not booting using SD card CM7, goes into Nook mode

Hi,
Having a with a Nook where it will not complete boot of CM7 which is installed on an SD card. Instead it boots into the Nook Color software.
I hold down the power button till I see the green Cyanogenmod logo with the Loading text, which I think means it is booting from the SD card (I can get it to boot into CM recover), then the screen goes blank and something goes wrong and the boot process continous with the 'n' screen and eventually loads the Nook boot animation and ends with the Nook software loaded. The nook software seems to be running fine except I can't get the SD card to boot all the way.
I've tried 2 known good SD cards, which boot without problems on my second nook, so I know it is not the SD card. I suspect something got corrupted with the boot process files, so I have been trying to find a way to overwrite the existing files with a virgin copy.
1) Can't get ADB running, I suspect the ADB route is only possible if I have the nook booting in a rooted CM7 in the first place (if some one could confirm that would help)
2) I have tried the x8 boot fail reset as well as the erase and deregister option in the nook software with no change in the above behaviour.
3) My last hope is to do an update back to stock using the recovery mode of the SD card. I can copy an updater file to the small partition of the SD card that is visible on Windows. I found a 1.2 stock updater, but it is ~200MB which is too big to fit on the SD card. If someone could point me to a smaller updater or a sd image with CWM and >200MB space that would be very helpful. TY!
What exactly are you trying to do? If you are just trying to set up dual-boot of CM off of your SD card, you don't need to do anything to the stock B&N internal install. I've had good luck using the procedure in the [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards thread.
Are you sure the initial CM install on your SD card went well? It's known to be very particular (see top of that thread) about what SD cards work. The first few times I tried, I didn't realize there were error when CM was initially extracted which led to similar failures. From what you've described, the SD setup is failing. Normally, you don't need to worry too much about what's on the internal emmc setup of the Nook Color.

Hi bobsto, some background. I've been using CM7 on a microSD for several weeks now. I dual boot between Nook SW and CM7 that way. I've been using the link you posted above to create the SD cards and so far I have not had to touch the eMMC files at all.
Then a friend messed around with the Nook I gave them with CM7 on an SD card. I don't what the friend did, but when I got the Nook back it would not boot into CM7. I pulled my SD card from my working Nook and it wouldn't work either. So I'm guessing someone screwed with the Nook internal files. So I am trying the factory restore of the Nook SW to see if that will fix the problem and allow me to load CM7 from the SD card again. Interestingly Nookie will boot from SD and CM7 won't. Still trying stuff to see what will fix the problem. Suggestions are welcome.

Gosh, I wish someone could figure this out.
I restored original stock after a full CM7 root and it went fine but I can NOT get a dual boot sd card to work.
It seems to install but when I reboot it shows CM7 screen briefly then always boots to Nook OS.
Tried many many different cards and image writers and CM7's and even a card from my other Nook which I know works.
It will not boot into the CM7 from the SDcard.
Any help?

[Q] CWM keeps losing update file

I recently installed CM 7 to emmc after running it from sd for a year. When I first did the emmc install I used mirage 3/4 but when 7.2 was released I decided to try it. Now I want to install the new mirage kang but when I copy the file to my sd card it's not there when CWM looks for it. I wiped data and cache but every time I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2. Any thoughts?
I tried to search but not being able to search for exact phrases makes it hard to find anything.
[edit] When I get home I'll try reinstalling from the eyeballer card I made. Should I format my non-recovery sd card? I didn't need to use the eyeballer card to install 7.2. What's going on here?

Which SD did you put the mirage file on? If you were still using the SD from your SD install, it is not partitioned right to be using with CWM. CWM is expecting just a plain vanilla SD. You may have the mirage file on partition 4 which CWM cannot see.
It was the card from my sd install but I had formatted it when I originally did the emmc install. Also, I used a different card for the emmc install.
What I don't understand is how I updated to 7.2 by putting the file on the sd card and installing it from CWM but when I did the same thing to install the latest Mirage kang it didn't work. I tried toggling the signed requirement in CWM since Mirage isn't signed but it didn't make any difference. Even now that I deleted data and caches and installed Mirage from CWM card the 7.2 file is still on my main sd card and I can't delete it. Do I need to use the CWM card every time I do an update? Could TiBU be causing this?

Do you have your emmc and SD card swapped in CM? You may think you have it on SD but really have it on emmc. And CWM can't see emmc.
No, at least I didn't set it that way. I skipped that part of mr72's guide. Not only that but I tried putting a copy each on my emmc and my sd and it disappeared from the card and wasn't seen on the emmc.
I redid the whole install earlier. I'm going to try putting a Mirage file on the card now and see if CWM sees it.

OP, I've tried to help but really, I can't understand your issue, especially this: "I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2"
What else do you expect it looks for and finds?
Anyway, pls do list as much as info so we can help. I don't want to guess.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
The more info we gather, the better chance we pinpoint to your problem
update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip and update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip have different file names. When I put the Mirage file on the card CWM doesn't see it. Instead it sees the CM 7.2 RC1 file. That's why I was guessing TiBU, because normally when I flash a file it disappears from the card. I flashed CM 7.2 RC but it won't go away, even if I try to delete it. After conducting the experiment from my previous post I am wondering if my flash card is going bad. I'll do further experiments along that line today.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012; occasionally says sd card not installed or available
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
I wanted to go to update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012 which I have now accomplished
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
yes...
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
I'm not sure I understand what you want here but here's a list of what's on the CWM card: folder (.android secure), folder (Android), folder (DCIM), folder (LOST.DIR),gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip, mlo, u-boot.bin, uImage, update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip, update-encore-cwm.emmc-eyeballer.zip, uRamdisk
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
If you are referring to when I run CWM from this card it installs everything fine.When I wrote this question I was trying to flash the Mirage ROM from recovery and after I selected "install from sd" and "choose which file to install" my only choice was update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip rather than the update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip I expected to see.
Thanks for trying to help. Later today I will try copying my data sd card to another card and see if that fixes the programs saying the card is not available. If it does I will assume the other card is bad. Seem reasonable?

a. For less complicated, do just put ONE file in the root folder of your CwMR uSD card, not two. Just put the Mirage there, remove the other.

Well, I guess I have my answer. I tried to format my 16 GB data card and it wouldn't format. Looks like card failure. Unless someone has a better idea I'm just going to order another card and chalk this up to running the OS off the card for so long. If flash memory only has a limited number of read/write cycles that must have burned through them.
Thanks votinh, leapinlar. Any other advice, suggestions, ideas on the situation will be appreciated.

Read/write cycle of the flash devices are usually high, 2000+ time, I doubt that you have burnt through.
Anyway, what tool you use to format your uSD?
---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------
If I was you, b4 purchasing another card, I would try to reformat the card and re-create its flashable CwMR.
If that didn't help, then order new one but note since you only need it for install ROM, 1GB or 2GB is more than enough.
I want at least a 16 GB card for my data and media. I have a 4 GB that I use for CWM and OS testing. I was using the 16 GB card for my OS when I was running off the card. After I installed to emmc I used the 16 GB card for data. The 16 GB is the card that I was having the problem with at the beginning of this thread. Since then I copied everything except my media onto the formatted 4 GB card and everything is running fine. I tried to format the 16 GB card using HPUSBDiskFormat but I got a message "Cannot Format". What program should I be using to format the card?
Other strange things that make me think the 16 GB card was the problem: I recently put some books on the card but they disappeared, one of my apps that is installed on the card keeps disappearing and I have to reinstall it, picture gallery keeps telling me that it can't read the sd, I can't delete files from the card either on the Nook or on my computer.
I hope it isn't the card and you guys know exactly what the deal is but after I put the 4 GB card in place of the 16 GB those problems aren't happening anymore. The final test will be to put an update file on the 4 GB card and boot to recovery. If CWM can see it I can't see how the 16 GB card isn't the problem.

I am aware of this. The fact that it wasn't working like that is the reason I started this thread.
Thanks for your help.
Now, it's a bit clearer that you have both CwM Recovery.
As I always mentioned and recommended NOT to flash CwMR into eMMC as it causes more headache than good but still many others choose to go that way and report more issue. Anyway, let's put that aside.
First step, reformat your 16GB card using MiniTools Wizard. I wish you luck there, if it can't, toss the card but if it's OK then second step, create a flashable CwMR 3.2.0.1 and put just the Mirage ROM in there.
I'm sure you know what to do.
Let us know how things go.
I may have done a dumb thing in installing CWM to the emmc but I was following a guide and didn't want to screw anything up. The reason I put off the emmc install for so long is that fear of bricking my Nook. So far so good on that front.
That tip about MiniTools is very helpful. I was sure there was something better than what I was using but I didn't know what it was. So far I'm getting very strange results when trying to format the card. The program says that the format worked but the files are still on the card. Surface test didn't show any errors. I tried to remove the old partition and create a new one but while that appeared to work there was no change on the card. I do notice that it wants to format the card in NTFS but I was under the impression that it should be FAT 32.
Is the card trashed? I can't think of anything else to try. I even flipped the lock switch and checked it. Still can't delete anything. I can't even delete a picture that I put on there.
As a last hope I tried putting the 16 GB card in my camera to see if the camera could format it. No luck. If the camera can't do anything with it the card is dead. Oh well, at least I got all my data off of it.
Votinh, do you know of any guide to removing CWM from emmc? It wasn't the problem in this case but it's not necessary. I didn't really want it but I thought that's how flashing worked on emmc. I see now that I can use ROM Manager for that.

Honestly, I chose to never flash CwMR into eMMC so I don't have much experience how to remove it, but I'm sure there is way. Will report back if I stumble across any thread about it. NOTE: having CwMR in eMMC is NOT so bad, it just gets you more headache down the road. A lot of people get it installed.
About your card, it's very itchy, ehhhh
Have you actually hit the format button or done or save whatever? and do so with FAT32, not NTFS.
It's first time I've heard the issue.
Yes, unfortunately. I hit format and then the check mark on the far left which I'm pretty sure is save. It certainly said it was doing something and that it had completed the operation successfully. All the files are still on the card though, after 2 formats, one NTFS and one FAT 32, remove and create, and 1 wipe. The files are all still showing on the card and I can't delete any or add any new.
What brand of your 16GB card is it?
I can't imagine that card was extensive damage like that.
Format many times and files still there, amazing.
The card is a Dane Electric from Newegg. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did for running the OS since it's not a SanDisk.

swap nook internal cm10 external to nook external cm10 internal

kicking around ideas here, how hard would it be to backup and restore a stock nook color to sd, and a cm10 to internal, then change the default boot to internal ??
sorry if this has been covered, i think i remember seeing a piece here and there about it. been searching and reading and trying to be independant.
thanks so much for the time,

(is internal quicker and smoother than a .89 sd card ?? )

No, internal is not much, if at all, quicker than an SD install if you are using a SanDisk class 4 card.
You cannot backup and restore stock to an SD install. But you can now install the stock ROM fresh on an SD. Look at my tips thread and item B11. Then you can install CM10 to emmc.
And you can change the default boot to internal, but you would have to put fattire's Cyanoboot u-boot loader on the stock SD install and change some settings in /rom. See his thread in the dev forum to see how to change the default. And to install his u-boot loader just copy it to the SD while the SD is in your PC. You may have to put his new MLO file there too.

wouldn't changing the default boot device from SD remove the safety valve of always being able to get out of a potential "brick" situation by using SD boot?

No. You can always manually override the default selection by using the boot menu. And if your card was not using Cyanoboot, it would ignore the default anyway.

[Q] Accessing media on internal storage

I hacked a pair of NC's for my kids for Christmas, running Mirage CM7 (seemed the most stable, but I could be wrong). I was planning on waiting a bit on the micro SD's and just running off of the 1GB internal memory, but I can't access the songs I put there. Every time I try to pull up the music player or MX player or gallery, it tells me "No SD card".
Well, no duh...
My question is, is there a setting that will allow me to access the internal storage until I'm able to get a couple SD's? Or should I upgrade to CM10? Also, the reboot SD for the Nook Tablet has a neat little repartitioning affect, got me another 6 or 7GB when I used it to install CM10 there---does the NC have a similar repartitioning tool?
Thanks in advance

I hacked a pair of NC's for my kids for Christmas, running Mirage CM7 (seemed the most stable, but I could be wrong). I was planning on waiting a bit on the micro SD's and just running off of the 1GB internal memory, but I can't access the songs I put there. Every time I try to pull up the music player or MX player or gallery, it tells me "No SD card".

Yes there is an option to use internal memory. I don't remember the exact menu since I have not used CM7 in a while. But go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, applications, and choose use internal memory. Or something like that. It swaps emmc and sdcard so that apps think internal media is sdcard.

Excellent! Does that mean, though, that I have to swap it back over when I do get the SD cards?
Also, does CM10 on the NC not have to worry about that?

Yes, unless you want to keep it that way. Your new card will show as emmc then.
CM10 has not implemented that yet. And it would have the same problem. Some apps would not run without an SD present.
