All this on a new vibrant using the stock 2.1
I've rooted the phone with one click. I've used oneclick as admin to run the 3s update.
I have update.zip loaded onto the root of my phone(not sd card)
I have clockwork recovery on my phone and i have done a backup
I have booted to recovery mode from Rom Manager then when i try to install zip from sd it takes me to a directory.
I select zip from sd card
I select sd/ and my nothing is showing there just keeps taking me back to the directory and telling me "no files found"
Sooo then i tried flash rom from sd in rom manager and it starts to flash then give a message "no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext" then it tells me to reboot.
What am i doing wrong I've been working on this since yesterday morning with no success.
sd-ext is the external sd card not the build in 16gb.
Put one microsd in with the rom you want to flash.
You need to put the rom you want to flash in the internal sd card, not the external sd.

I had done that in the first place and then when i went to boot the screen was all distorted and i couldn't see what it said so i flashed the stock rom back.
I just tried again and it said to reboot so i did and now my toxic rom seems to be working just fine. Thanks for the input
I just bought a new Nook Color that's got the latest 1.2.0 Firmware. I've already registered it and I'd like to install the latest version of CM7 on it.
I've got a newer iMac with OS X Lion installed. What's the best way for me to Root this and install CM7? What's the latest version of CM7?
I've got a 4 GB MicroSD card and reader for my Mac. I think that I've got all the correct tools, just not sure what would be the easiest method to do this. Thanks for any advice!
It really depends on what you want to do. Do you want to install on emmc? SD? Do you want to run the 7.1RC or the nightly releases?
I recommend reading through the two guides linked below and seeing exactly what you want to do with the device.
As far as using OSX, I believe you can use the *nix commands the same to set up the cards however you need.

Thank you for the links. I was able to get CM7 installed using the second link. I'm going to play around with it now and see how well things work. Thanks!
If you're interested in going eMMC, it's pretty simple from OSX. I got it done in about 15 minutes, and most of that was waiting for the clockwork image to burn. What I did:
Download clockworkmod, repartition zip, reformat zip, cm7 zip, gapps, and oc kernel zip (though if you use the latest nightly you don't need to install the kernel seperately)
Extract the CWR .img file, insert blank sd card into Mac
Open terminal and run the command "diskutil list". Figure out which disk is the SD card. Your HD will probably be /dev/disk0 and your sdcard /dev/disk2, but double check to make sure. You don't want to reformat your HD by accident.
Now run the following commands- assuming your SD card is /dev/disk2, otherwise substitute the appropriate location:
diskutil unmount /dev/disk2
dd if=<drag CWR image here to auto fill in the location> of=/dev/disk2
Now wait. There's no progress bar but the SD card is being burned. Allow about 10 minutes, it's done when the next command prompt line shows up. When it's done, pop the card out then reinsert to mount it. Drag all your zip's onto the card, then eject and put it in your Nook.
Reboot the Nook and it'll boot into clockwork. If you're repartitioning, do those zips now then wipe data and reboot, because you'll probably need to re-register the Nook. Then go back to clockwork and wipe cache, dalvik, data, and flash CM7, gapps & kernel. Don't reboot yet!
Take the SD card out and put it back into your Mac. Open Disk Utility and reformat the card to MS-DOS (FAT32). Then take the card out and put it back into the Nook. Now you can reboot.
That's it! Super easy. At this point I would recommend opening ROM Manager and using it to flash clockwork to the internal memory, makes it easier to upgrade in the future.
I had CM7 running on my NC following instructions in this thread. Then I installed rom manager and with it the latest clockworkmod. I tried to make a backup but I did not think it worked. I also tried to install the latest nightly and again it does not seem to work. It boots into recovery but there are only a few instructions that scroll down the screen and then it reboots.
Is ROM Manager not compatible with an SD card installation perhaps?
Is there a log that gets captured or does that just scroll by? Can it be turned on?
How can I make a backup? When I boot into recovery it just shuts down after a few messages. If I try to use ROM manager to backup same thing.
I did download the nightly that I wanted to try and installed it by copying the zip to the SD card and booting into recovery.
I hope this is the right place to get some help with this, else please tell me where to go.

Rich
I see the thread by jtbnet and I tried to add the alt boot configuration but when I try to boot to the alt image it seems to go into std recovery and shuts down. I'm missing something
Unfortunately I am not able to post in the right thread since I don't have enough posts under my belt.
I hope I only need 5 posts and not 10 to ba able to post
Bummer, it is 10 posts...
Related question... is there a way to resize partitions to increase the size of the boot partition, under windows? Or under linux parted? Partition 2 and 3 are etx3(?) type and I don't know what program can deal with these
I just burned a parted CD and hope this works
gparted did work but somehow I managed to mess up the boot partition in the process it seems - no longer does anything with the SD card.
Would anyone know where I can find a copy of Nook-2GB-SDCard-CW3010-VGCM7InstallerAsALTinMultiBoot-v6.zip ? It's on a dropbox account that's locked because of high traffinc and supposedly on a mirror that I am unable to reach.
Ok so I did some research and got the question answered about the difference between the two.
My next question is:
To update to the 7.1 encore file on my nook color do I place it in the same place I had put the update for the froyo and delete the froyo update file? then when I boot into recovery then choose the update file 7.1? As far as the nightlies I have no clue how to do those. Are those just through the ROM manager app? or added to the sd card nightly?
I notice the file for the 7.1 says update so do I need something before that to ensure that everything runs smooth? Here is what is on my sd card as of current:
Old boot file
manual nooter 4.6.16
mlo
u-boot.bin
uImage
uRamdisk
update froyo1.2 file
Thank you for any help!
It isn't clear from your post if you are wanting to run CM 7.1 from a card or install it on the Nook's internal memory. All my advice assumes that you want to keep internal (emmc) running rooted BN and run CM 7.1 from a card.
The word "update" in the filename will cue verygreen's installer that the file is supposed to be installed. One thing though, are all those files visible on the card when you remove it from the Nook and read it on your computer? Normally the boot file, nooter, and update should disappear after they are applied. You can try removing them and adding the CM 7.1 file and booting into recovery. If that doesn't work you need to follow the instructions in this thread. Installing nightlies just involves dumping the new file onto the card and rebooting into recovery.
Again, this all assumes that you have the rooted BN OS internally and intend to install CM 7.1 on a flash card. If you're trying to dual boot, either from internal memory or from your card, I can't help you. You'll have to try the dual boot threads. Good luck!
Files on sd card
Yes these files are visible on my sd card after they are booted onto my nook. All the times that I have updated they have always been visible once I remove the card. Does that mean something? I also do want the files to run internally on my nook not from my card. So since I want to do that then do I take out the nooters or just not worry about them? And just load the update cm 7.1? Also the nooter I am running is the 4.5.18 because at the time the (a month and a half ago) the 4.6.16 since the market and google kept force closing so went back to the 4.5.18 or is there an update to the latest one that fixes this?
I soooo appreciate the help!
Crissy
so i have cm 7.3.0-encore installed and
1) i cant get the android apps to install
2)cm mod( rom manager 4.2.0.2 clockwork mod 3.2.0.1) will not let me updgrade to premium
when i try to download rom it tells me i must upgrade rom manager to latest version and when i press ok i get another box that says "the application ROM Manager process com.koushikdutta.rommanager) has stopped unexpectedly please try again" and when i press ok i get sent bact to the home screen.
3)when i try to reboot into recovery,1) with the sd card in,i get booted to the main cyanogen mod home screen
4) and when i try to install gapps i go into the recovery,/install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card/confirm install/when it says install complete,i exit out(reboot system now)it goes back to the main nook color screen so i have to power the nook off and back on so it can boot into cm. once back in cm,i dont have any market.
Oh and my software version is 1.2.0
PLEASE HELP!!
As much as I or we want to help you, we are completely lack of info.
Please provide some basic info about your system and what you are trying to do.
1. Where did you get cm7.3.0?
2. On your very last sentence, 1.2.0. What is that?
3. How have you run "which ROM"? from eMMC or uSD?
Those info is a good start to get more help.

i hvae to pull up the site i got the mod from (i believe it was the cyanogen forum,ill get back to you on that)
2 1.2.0 is the stock nook firmware.(i believe they are up to 1.4 now)
3 i have no idea what your talking about.(im hoping your asking wether im running from internal or sd card. if that is the case,im running from the sd card
OK... to help you there are several things we must know... since answers to each can influence the method we need to get things working as they should:
1. Which method did you use to setup your SD? i.e. verygreen's SASD, racks11479 or another method.
2. Which ROM are you having issues with? i.e. CM7 on SD, Stock 1.2 on eMMC
3. What "android apps" are you having issues with? i.e. google apps (gApps) or another specific "android" app... since they are ALL android apps.
If you used verygreen's SASD then you CANNOT use the stanard ROM manager and CWM to install gApps... you have probably screwed up your stock system and installed gApps there... not that it will work... but you are now no longer "stock"
If you can answer these questions and elaborate as to exactly what you have done, and are trying to accomplish, we can provide informed suggestions to you... otherwise we can flood this thread with a TON of solutions that will EVENTUALLY work... but waste lot of time and cause you much frustration along the way.

heres what i did step by step
1) got a sandisk 16gb micro sd card and fomatted it to fat 32.
2) used win image to burn generic sd card image to the sd card
3) once burned, i put cm7.3.0 encore zip file in the root of the sd card
4) put sd card in nook
5) let the install run
thats pretty much it it will not let me update the rom manger or install gapps
im trying to include pics of my rom manager and settings screens
so i have the cm mod running i just want to be able to install gapps and upgrade my rom manager

First off, you are running CM7.0.3, NOT 7.3 since it is not exist.
Secondly, I start following this post of yours. Pls note, whatever you did or have done described in your very first post were totally screw. Don't know who show you that.
Anyway,
Let's put it this way.
1. Your device is NC (NOOKColor)
2. Your NC is running stock ROM version 1.2.0 on eMMC.
3. You want to run CM7.0.3 on external uSD card.
4. You have problem getting Android apps.
Right? OK
1) got a sandisk 16gb micro sd card and fomatted it to fat 32. => good
2) used win image to burn generic sd card image to the sd card.
Ans: I strongly suggest you getting the Win32DiskImager since a lot of members reported having issue with WinImage.
3) once burned, i put cm7.3.0 encore zip file in the root of the sd card.
Again. It is CM7.0.3.
Assume after successfully done creating a bootable uSD using Win32Diskimager, put your cm7.0.3 (or suggesting using CM7.2-RC KANG) into the root folder, where you see those mlo, ramdisk, ... file. It should only 4 files there at this time.
4) put sd card in nook => correct
5) let the install run => it should
6 - after successfully install, it will automatically delete the cm7.0.3 zip file then shutdown.
7 - remove the uSD, put back into PC, download and copy GApps and put it the root folder, same place where you just put the ROM before.
Link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version
Note: rolling all the way down and select one for CM7, not CM9
8 - remove the uSD off PC, put it back into the NC, power it up
9 - let it boot into CM7 first, do connect to your wifi at this point is a good choice, then reboot and choose reboot into recovery using the menu.
10 - after it boots back into recovery, it will install the GApps now and shutdown again.
11 - reboot and start using.
NOTE: the way I show you above is the easiest way. There are several ways that are so good and too convinience but it's far more advance for newbie. When you get used to the NC, you will find out more.

so i did everything and most of i went as planned until.....
10) i pressed the power button to power off and pressed reboot( i got 3 choices 1-reboot,2-recovery 3-bootloader) i pressed recovery and it rebooted back into cm7. so i powered down the nc,took the sd card out and powered on it went to the stock nc menu. so i re-inserted the sd card and rebooted through the clockwork mod menu,once again it booted into the cm7 without installing gapps, so i once again powered down took out the sd card,powered up.it finnaly booted into recovery so i inserted the sd card(again) went down to "install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card chose gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip.installed it said install from sd card complete chose reboot system now. it booted into stock nook.so i powered off and back on into cm7 just to find out GAPPS DID NOT INSTALL. so im at the point where im just gonna get a n2a premade card or something. but i do want to say to say THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR YOUR HELP

Did I just said whatever you did or have done, described on your very first post were screw up?
Why would you do that?
You follow to step 10, you are very close to get it up and running then you continue to do the wrong way. That's why you can't get your NC work.
On which instruction you got that shows you doing the "went down to "install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card" when you are running CM7 from uSD?
My suggestion, start over again, go slow.
Since using the uSD, why not using the stable CM7.1 or CM7.2 KANG? Get rid of the 7.0.3
