Just got my A7 today. Had I known that an android device could not automatically acces android market I would not have bothered.
Trying to download Dexters mod. I think i'm following directions but am completely lost. I down load the link and get 5 files listed
1. meta inf
2. bootloader
3. boot
4. recovery
5. system
I save them to microsd card, rename the file to Update.zip, follow the rest of the instructions. DOES NOT WORK!!
I've tried Update.zip, update.zip, ive compressed the files then saved them to the card, ive reformatted, i've checked the download amount=100.... etc.
Please help- no links just directions step by step please.
Do not unzip the files.
Rename the compressed files to "Update.zip"
Copy to sd card.
Then, follow directions as stated on page one of ROM thread.
tried A7 still says no

Try downloading it again. You might get the whole download, but a portion of it might be corrupt. Happens all the time.

If you are using a windows computer you just need to rename the file to Update. Not Update.zip. The .zip is already there, you just don't see it. If you rename it to Update.zip it actually makes it Update.zip.zip.
What method are you using to update? I suggest booting into recovery and then updating. Here is a link to a video on how to boot into recovery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZypl3lYUdQ

Another user had similar problems. Read thru the following thread. I posted some step by step instructions there.

You also might need to format the SD card to FAT32.

Seems like you will not be happy with this device. Why not return it and get a device that has access to the market built in?

Put the ROM in the LOST folder. (mnt/external_sd/LOST)
well I tried it but still same outcome I don't know what is going on any more ideas guys
CWM commonly has trouble reading some SD cards. Either try formatting it in a phone, or try a different card.
finally got it guys it was the file name it was labeled taboonay 1.1.zip; i had to rename it without the semi colon thanks for all your help
good afternoon
I have an ACER Iconia Tab to 500 HC 3.2 and using the second method of this post (Revert OTA 3.2 back to 3.0.1) and gets the android logo and a yellow triangle, someone might say it is?
Or if someone knows how to connect this tablet in Windows XP
thanks
Did you remember to extract the zip file that was in that post? The file that is to be extracted is update_not_stable.zip. Once you extract that, there should be a file that is called "update.zip". Make sure that is the file that is on your external SD card.
yes, I put the update.zip on the microsd and also have put the update.zip for content if that, but it works.
thanks
So does that mean you got it to work? I'm not sure if I fully understand your last post.
my English is disastrous to use a translator to express myself. Did not mean that workers but does not perform the recovery
Could you possibly outline the steps your performed so far, and perhaps I or someone more knowledgeable than I can offer better assistance.
I followed the steps are:
1 - I downloaded the file.
2 - I've extracted and copied to the microsd (update.zip) formatted to fat32
3 - I turned on the Iconium and has begun "erasing cache beforing SD update... booting recovery kernel image"
4 - android robot appears with a band and then carrying out erde a triangle with an exclamation in the middle of the icon.
Hmmmmm, I can't see anything that jumps out at me as being some wrong.
The update.zip is still zipped right? You right clicked on "downgrade_not_stable", extracted that, removed update.zip and out that file (which will be unzipped) into the root of your external SD card.
There is also the off chance that the file you downloaded got corrupted for whatever reason. If it won't work perhaps you can try to download it again and follow the steps.
hello,
i have the same problem. I did the same : unzipped, put on the external sdcard the file and I have the logo of the bot with the yellow triangle..
I downloaded again and again, restart from the beginning and I can't downgrade.
someone has an idea why it doesn't work ?
Thanks
same issue with mine... not too sure why i'm getting the error as I've been able to do things with the SD card before, so I don't think its an SD card problem.
Not SD problem
I already tried with differentes SD cards. They all work, but unable to start the downgrading !!
Maybe the file is not compatible with my tablet. How can we check ?

What tab to you have? The A500?
Make sure that it is the file "update.zip" that is on your sd card. Make sure this update.zip is still a zipped file.
Other than that, I don't know what could be wrong. I did the downgrade with no issues.
Thanks for the answer.
My tablet is an iconia A500.
I unzipped the file downloaded, that gave an update.zip. I put it on the SD card. The tablet recognized the file but stop just after find it.
I have no idea whatelse to do.
TRy and try again.
Finally it worked !!!
It was a download problem in fact for me.
I hope it can help.
maybe i'll try downloading on another computer (this one has XP?) and see if that makes a lick of difference. this is getting frustrating.
Still no go. Even did everything just on the iconia and still get the yield sign when trying to recover during boot.
Hi , I did it right now and it worked , installed iconiaroot and CWM and all went fine, but I have another problem now :
external miniSD can't be seen anymore and I'm not able to install any custom rom . If I go to recovery and pushing "install zip from" : it always goes to E: directory sdcard (and it 's not found)
Is there anyone that can help me ?
Thanks
Ramp
Hello,
I had this problem with the update of tabonay. The problem was a ";" at this end of the file :update.zip
Retry and check you have a .zip at the root of the external SD card
Hi
The problem is that I can't see neither micro sd external card nor USB pen anymore on my system
Please help
Thanks
Great that It worked for you, It doesn't work for me, do you think this will work with a USB since I can't get it to work with an SD
I'm trying to create a bootable SD card with CM7. I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957.
I've put the CM7 file on the card, but when I put in in my nook and boot it just goes to the nook software. Can anyone help me with what I did wrong? When I look at the SD card, I see these files:
cm_encore_full-253.zip
u-boot.bin
uRamdisk
uImage
MLOAnd it looks like the nook put some stuff on it when it booted, folders called:
My Files
B&N Downloads
LOST .DIR
.android_secure
Any help would be vastly appreciated!

If you are still booting into the stock ROM I would say you have a bad image and to do it again.....
As I think back through the process, the only thing I was a bit confused on was the generic image. After downloading it, I expanded it out using winrar before writting it to the SD card with winimage. Was that the right thing to do?

You have to preface the ROM zip files with "update-", so change the name of the zip file to update-cm_encore_full-253.zip. Additionally, you're missing some files that would allow the ROM to be written to the sd, specifically uRecRam and uRecImg. You should probably go back and review the instructions and start from the beginning.

You should have wound up with an .img file that you write to SD with WinImage. From that linked page:
[...] Grab the installer image here:
http://crimea.edu/~green/nook/generi...rd-v1.3.img.gz
it's a ~9M image that would unpack into ~130M disk image.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you wind up with a ~130M .img file?
From what you've written, sounds like the write wasn't good and it doesn't even start to boot.
Also, when it does boot, watch the process as CM is extracted when you boot that disk. Per the top part of that guide, some cards work better than others.

Will try that, but would it skip the boot from the SD card all together because of that?

Looks like my image, after I expanded it with WirRar, is more like 117MB (123,379,200 bytes). Do I need to bring down the image and expand it again?
Creating a bootable CM7 uSD using winimage and verygreen installer:
1.Download winimage, verygreen boot image, CM7 zip or Mirage zip, gapps zip...
2.Unpack the verygreen .gz to get the .img file inside
3.Put your SD card in your card reader
4.Open winimage....
5.Disk->Use disk (whatever your sd card is)
6.Disk->Restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive (select the verygreen .img file-change .vhd to .* if you don't see it)
7.Click ok on the warning and you should have a boot disk
8.Right click the CM7 zip and "send to" your new boot disk
9.Pop out the SD card, put it in the Nook
10.Boot the Nook, let it install and turn off
11.Put the SD card back in your PC, transfer the gapps zip to it, put back in Nook
12.Turn on the nook, let it boot to CM7
13.Connect to wifi (saves a little hassle later when google wants you to log in)
14.Press the power button, restart, to recovery
15.Let gapps install then turn off
16.Restart the nook
17.Touch the android
18.Log in to your google account
19.Install whatever google apps you want (don't worry if you don't get them all now, the market will still have them later)
20.Enjoy
I recommend using DizzyDen's patch after step 1 if you want better market support. I make the IMEI from my Nook's serial # and use these build.prop edits.

The more answer you get, the more confusion.
Anyway, follow this carefully.
Assuming you running Windows on PC.
1. Download (or redownload) the file from your link. It is .gz file, it is a zip file, so you need to unzip it. After unzip, you will get the .img file, and that's the one you need to write off your uSD card.
2. Execute Win32DiskImager (assuming you already downloaded), prefer an old version, r0.15 or something like that.
3. Create a bootable uSD. After this step, your PC should see the uSD as "boot" and inside, it should have only 4 files as you listed above.
4. Copy the ROM into the boot directory (like you listed above) and properly eject the uSD off the PC.
5. Insert the uSD into the NC and power it up. You don't have to do anything else, it will FULLY AUTOMATICALLY detects the zip file (the ROM file), install, then delete and then shut down. Note: you don't touch anything.
6. Now, you have to power it up.
7. Repeat step 4 to get the GApp installed by trying to boot into recovery (this step needs your skill, read the how-to from the link you posted)

It appears this was my problem. I was using "write disk" rather than the restore option. I now appear to have CM7 on the card (althought it's been on the bootup screen for a while, and I now need to get the gapps installed.

That's an unnecessary step. The verygreen installer will flash it even without the prefix.

No, you don't... the recovery script is setup to find "update-*" "cm_encore_full*" and gapps-gb*" files. So, as long as your file begins with everything up to the * it will work.
uRec* won't be present until the script actually runs once. The script creates the uRecRam and uRecImg files to use on further boots into recovery mode.

Thanks for clarifying my misconceptions. At one time, a standard "cm_encore_full*" file didn't take and did when I added the "update-" to it.
That's why we come here, to learn at the feet of the masters.
Ok I wrote the generic image file to sd card through winimage or whatever its called. Then I went here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore. I downloaded the first one dated 7/8/12 and put it on the sd card also. I installed sd card in nook and turned on. It went through a bunch of installing but the last few sentences say:
"Looking for the install images...
Initial install files not found.
Please download it from nook.linuxhacker.ru
and put on first partition of this SD Card
the name should start with updatei-cm and end with .zip"
What does this mean and what am I doing wrong? Right now looking at the SD card file on my computer i see files: MLO, u-boot, uImage, URamdsk, and a zip folder that says: cm-7-20120701-NIGHTLY-encore. I did not unzip the file, all I did was download it right to the computer and dragged to SD card and I even tried downloading straight to to SD Card and no luck.
You can download CM7 RC 3 from the same source and try to add itfirst. If it loads,then rename your other zip with an update_ prefix, put it on your boot partition, boot into recovery and you should be where you want to be. (You'll prolly need to install GAPPS zip after first load of RC3 to get google apps, too).
Follow advice on lepanlar's tip site and you won't go wrong.

I couldn't believe this was such an easy solution to such a frustrating problem. All I had to do was change a file name from "cm" to "updat". Thank you!
Hi, i am an absolute noob! I tried updating to CM10 from CM7 on my Nook Color. I got the same error message and did also try update instead of cm. But I keep getting the same message. Additionally the message also says "Please put on first partition of this SD card." I tried this with an 8 GB class 4 Strontium card. After I first burnt the image onto the SD card, after that the SD card reads as "boot" with 297 mb of 297 mb remaining. By the time I burn the image again and then load the update/cm.zip and gapps-jb.zip there is only 50.1 mb remaining. What could be the problem?
Also, I note that after an unsuccessful attempt only the image remains when I view the SD card on the computer. I have to then again copy the update/cm.zip and gapps.zip file. Any assistance would be much appreciated! Cheers,,

It needs to be update-, with the dash.
Also, if going to CM10 from CM7, you need to reburn your SD with the new image from my updated instruction thread linked in my signature. The old image will not work properly with CM10.

And when you put the SD in the PC, you can see the cm- zip? It needs to be named just right, beginning with cm- or update- and ending in .zip
You have gotten past the hard part, getting it to boot in the first place. You just are not getting the files right. If it is on the card and named right it would try to install. And since you put both the cm zip and the gapps zip there, one or both should try to install. They must not be on the card right.
Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
The strange thing is that after I put back the SD after an unsuccessful install, I can no longer seem the cm-.zip and gapps-,zip files. I can see that they are successfully copied onto the SD card after first burning the image and taking out the SD card and then copying those two files like you mention in your post.
After I first burned the image onto the SD card and then deleted it after the first unsuccessful attempt, the SD card shows up as a boot drive and only shows 297 MB space available and after the image and the two files are copied as above then only 50.1 MB space is left available.
Can't figure out where it's going wrong.

"lost page write due to i/o error on mmcblkp1" this also shows up before the program does the "inflating" and finally boots
also during this process, an error something along "unzip: write no space left on drive" also appears

Alright, I know what is wrong. It is that strontium card. You need to use a SanDisk class 4 card. You are getting read/write errors on that card. I had that happen to me when I used a cheap card. Find a quality SanDisk.
And those file sizes are correct. That is what it is supposed to say.

Thanks. Will try that and update.

Similar problems here. I'll explain step by step what I did and maybe someone can tell me where I went wrong.
I'm using a MacBook Air running 10.8.3 (not that it makes a difference, but I am using Terminal and DiskUtility for some of these operations).
I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod on a Nook Color 1.4.3 following the directions given here.
1. Downloaded generic-sdcard-v1.3.img and cm-10.1-20130521-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
2. Installed the .img on a SanDisk 4GB microSD card. Ejected it, remounted it, it mounts as a single partition named "boot" that's 121 MB in size with 112 MB available. The files on "boot" are MLO, u-boot.bin, uImage, uRamdisk.
3. Tried to copy cm-10.1-20130521-NIGHTLY-encore.zip to "boot" but there is not enough space.
In a previous attempt, I forgot to copy the cm-10 file to "boot" and was able to get the linux sdcard image to temporarily mount on my Nook, but then received the error mentioned earlier by someone else:
Initial install files not found.
Please download it from nook.linuxhacker.ru
and put on first partition of this SD Card
the name should start with updatei-cm and end with .zip

Then, when I ejected "boot" and mounted it on the Airbook, I saw two partitions: "boot" and "CM7 SDCARD." The latter partition had plenty of room for the cm-10.1-20130521-NIGHTLY-encore.zip file, so I put it on there. But it didn't matter if I leave the filename as "cm-" or change it to either "updatei-cm-" or "update-cm" or whatever; the same error occurs.
What am I doing wrong? I assume there is a way to force the sdcard image to create a "boot" with plenty of room for the cm-10 zip file. But how? And do I rename the cm-10 to updatei-cm-10 or what?
Thanks in advance.

The problem is you are using an old image zip that was made for CM7. You need to get my image updated for CM10 from my NC updated SD install instruction thread linked in my signature. Follow the directions there.

Thank you, this was very helpful. I'm not sure how I overlooked the CM7/CM10 issue -- another pair of eyes is always useful.
