I am following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735
I downloaded the Image Writer, 3.0.2.8 bootable images, and the 0.7 image for my SD card. I burned the 0.7 image file on to my SD card and have 4 files, including the uImage and uRamdisk files. (I got here by following steps 1-3.) Step 4 says to rename these two files and replace with the new ones. Are these new ones from the 3.0.2.8 image?
I think I'm just being dense here, but I'm not understanding the instructions correctly. I burn the 0.7 image, correct? How do I proceed from there, to get the updated files, which I'm assuming are in 3.0.2.8. Do I rename the files on the SD card and just burn the image from 3.0.2.8?
Any tips are appreciated.
Anyone have *any* tips for a newb??
If you got the 3.0.2.8 image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13283643&postcount=34 as hinted at in the instructions of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735 then there is no need to replace any files.
Just copy this image to your SD card (use the right image for your size SD card) and put it in your nook and boot. You should end up in recovery.
Gotcha. I didn't try the card, was thinking there were more steps. Duh! Thanks.

Hi,
I'm new to the scene and I wanted to try out CM7 booting from SD before I install it to the internal memory. I am having a problem pasting the CM7 zip file on the card. The instructions state "Put the file to the SD card (there is only one partition). Don't change the name of the file."
After I burned the installer image to the card it only shows up as having a capacity of 115mb. It is a sandisk 16gb card. From what I read I need to access another partition, but I dont know how to do this.
Could someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

If you are seeing a partition named "boot" that is 115MB, that is correct. The CM7 zips are all around 95-97MB. You will not be able to see the other partitions in Windows without additional software (Windows only sees the first active partition on a drive).
(You will, however, see the storage partition (in your case ~13.5GB) if you use USB storage mode to connect your Nook to your PC once your CM7 SD install is set up).
Edited: Sorry, ignore me!
I posted in the wrong thread and couldn't find a way to delete my post!
Yep, the "only one partition" that you see is the "only one partition" that you need. Put the zip in there, put the card in your NC, and gogogo.
Thanks for everyone's reply. I was able to get everything working. I actually just had to rename the zip file to Update-CM.zip for everything to run correctly.
Thanks again.
I tried to follow this nice guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018
my Basics: original 1.2 nook color (using with SD CM7)
1) put a 8 GB SanDisk Class4 MicroSD in a card reader
2) format it with Panasonic SD Formatter
3) burned the "1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.img" on the SD using win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.1-r15-win32 (also tried win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.3-r27-binary)
4) copied phiremod-nook-v7-TEST-DualbootSD-CWM-package.zip on the SD card
5) put it in back into the nook and it booted into CWM
6) installed zip from SD and reboot
Result: some tries it just boot into CWM again (with SD inside) and sometimes it boots into Stock rom.
What did I do wrong or missunderstood?
Thanks!
1. The link shown setup dual-boot for uSD card, not on eMMC
2. As long as you left the CwM uSD card inside the NC and boot it, it will and should ALWAYS boot into CwM Recovery.
so what i need to change to put the Rom un my uSD card?
What did I do wrong?
Does anyone happen to have the .img file for a 4gb sd card? I deleted mine a long time ago and I can't get on the the site that you download them from. Can anyone help me out?
Here is the .zip for version 3.2.0.1. You can create your own image with Win32 Disk Imager: http://www.multiupload.com/0DLC9QATOW
Or try one from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246037
Following this after I turn the Nook on with the flashed SD card, it just goes toward the normal booting path rather than going to CWM. I am using a Nook simple touch with GlowLight and on 1.1.5
typically that means you didn't make the sdcard corretly.
extract the clockwork image to the point where you have an .img file
on your desktop.
Use win32 disk imager, or dd, or some other disk imaging utility to write the image file to the card.
Once you're done with it, you should be able to boot from that card. Lots of folks wind up copying either the .zip or the .img file to the card rather than imaging the card.
I'm about exhausted looking for a solution. 1st the Nooter steps don't work, the NC boots into original system.
No matter what steps I follow nothing causes the NC to read the SD card. At this point I'm totally confused.
Here's what I've done:
1) format the SD card, title "boot"
2) Using Win32DiskImager Iinstall "generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8c.img" which gives me a list of files on the SD card
.android_secure
Android
B&N Downloads
getjar
LOST.DIR
MyFiles
MLO
u-boot.bin
uImage
uRamDisk
3) Then I copy
CM-11-20160523-NIGHTLY-encore.ZIP
and
open_gapps-arm-4.4-nano-20160603.ZIP
to the SD card.
(What is the purpose of CM-11-20160523-NIGHTLY-encore-recovery.img? Am I suppose to change the name to just recovery.img? that doesn't help the situation.)
4) eject the SD card, insert into NC, connect the NC to the computer via the charging cable.
5) Result is boot of NC into original operating system as always.
What the H am I doing wrong?

Are you sure you have a Nook Color? You could have a Nook Tablet. A Nook Color has a black bezel and the Nook Tablet has a silver bezel. These files will not work on a Nook Tablet.
