Hi,
My nook has been updated to 1.2 and i was also booting from sd using the BT - CM7 2gb image that i wrote to a 16gb class 6 sd, as this was suppose to be the work around to be able to boot cm7 from a 16gb sd. It was working fine, until i read that you could install phiremod on the sd card. I downloaded the phiremod update file and installed clockwork recovery on sd by replacing 3 file : boot file and 2 others. I managed to get into clockwork recovery and loaded the phiremod update file on the 4th partition and ran the update. once rebooted it just got stuck at ANDROID_ screen. So i then downloaded the latest stable cm7 update file and loaded it into 4th partition of the sd and installed it, hoping to fix my cm7 on the sd card. To my horror i then discovered that it has wiped my original Nook 1.2 software and installed cm7 on the Nook's internal memory EMMC. But when i boot now it from EMMC, it just gets stuck at the cynogen cm7 screen with the arrow going round forever. I have now reflashed my sd card and so i can boot from the sd card on bt cm7 2gb img and also replaced the boot file to get the clockwork recovery from sd. How do i go about restoring my Nook back to 1.2? and also how do i update my sd to the latest cm7 built. I hope i haven't wiped my nook's important files as i haven't backed up, i didn't think i needed to as i was booting from sd card.
Thanks, Any help would be appreciated.
i m unable to install dal's .32 kernel cm7 beta 3.1 . i m using verygreen's size agnostics installer using 1.2 update. i wrote the the new image and copied the zip file to the boot partion. but whenever i try to boot with the above sd card .. im stuck at loading screen.....what am i doing wrong...plz help
I am getting this also trying to boot sd card. The OC thread mentions it is not working currently with CM7 stable or nightly. Figured this what is happening on mine.
i just used verygreens sd updater this morning and it worked fine with .32
All i had to do was
1. burn the generic.img to sd card
2. drop the .32 kernel linked to in the instructions on the boot partition
3. put sd card in nook and turned it on. It installed cm7, when it was done the screen turned off.I turned it on and cm7 booted fine.
4. I then turned on wireless and also installed google apps.
5. no issues thus far, but I did not attempt to do the oc kernel yet.
this was on a 16gb sandisk class 4 card.

I installed it again, but this time I wanted latest cm7.1 on first boot

I copied cm7 and gapps in sdc7 - sdcard partition
tried to install zips from there in cwm
and then did data/cache format
its stuck on white android_ prompt
help!
does someone has this setup?
I want nook booting from sd card, and i like having honeycomb, just for kicks
(thank god i still have dd dump img and titanium backup, both)
Have been running cm7 7.03 for quite some time originally installed using verygreens method with sd card cm7 installer 1.2. Decided I wanted to update to cm7 7.2 so thought I would update verygreens installer to 1.3 before updating to new version of cm7. Put update-genimage-1.3.zip on boot of sd card booted to recovery installed file and it appeared to install correctly rebooted and now I am stuck on Loading ... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not install that zip that way. You have to unzip it to the .img file and burn to the SD with win32diskimager like you did the first time.

Thanks for the info. I was following instructions that indicated that I could put the update-genimage-1.3.zip on the boot portion of the sd and apply the update through cwm. I did not want to reimage my sd card as I have allot of information on it.

ok, don't know why it got stuck then. You used CWM recovery on emmc to flash it? The recovery script on SD would not install it properly.
Yes, that's correct. Now when I put the sd card in I just get stuck on screen that says loading and I have to take the card out to boot back into the nook software. I did make a backup of my emmc with cwm before I started this but I am unable to get into recovery at this time. I am not sure what my next steps should be. Start the process over with another sd card and then try and salvage the info on my original sd.

I just read the instructions in thread and you do not use CWM recovery on emmc to flash that file. You are supposed to use the verygreen recovery script that is on the SD. By using CWM on emmc, you flashed the new recovery files to emmc and replaced CWM. That's why you can't get back in it. I think you can recover by putting the update- zip back in the root partition of the SD and trying to boot to the SD recovery. Then when you have got your SD repaired and flashed 7.2, you can reinstall CWM to emmc with ROM Manager.

I can certainly try that but I am now confused on which update.zip file to put on the boot portion of the sd to hopefully fix my sd card. Thanks for your help.

the update-genimg1.3...zip. Be sure to boot to SD recovery and it should be ok.

Great thanks. Can you review for me how I make sure I boot to sd recovery. Really appreciate your help.

If you have one of the newer u-boot.bin files... you hit "n" when booting up and select SD card... Recovery... that will be verygreen's recovery mode.
If you still have the original u-boot.bin from genimage 1.2 (not very likely at all... since CM7 has had new u-boot.bin's for a while now) you would have to use the old timing method of power + n for about 5 seconds.
When I try holding the n key the screen comes back with Loading ... but never moves past that screen. Actually the nook will not boot at all when the sd card is in even if I do not hold down the n key it goes right to the Loading ... screen and just hangs there. If I shut it down and remove the card it boots into the nook operating system fine. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I have attached a file to the board. Download and unrar this file. There should be 4 files there. Take your SD card out and put in your PC. Copy these files to the boot partition, overwriting the files that are there. Take the update-geniimg1.3...zip out and put the update- ...7.2 ...zip in. Then put the card back in the nook. Boot and while booting hold the n key. A boot menu should come up. Choose SD and recovery and continue booting. It should install cm7.2 and you are done. When in CM7, use ROM Manager to reinstall CWM to emmc.
EDit: I added a second file. Unrar and add these two files to the boot partition too.
Edit 2: Files removed after user successfully repaired SD
Transferred the files and did the update everything is running great. Thank you so much for your help it is greatly appreciated.
Here's the situation
I bought a rooted nook color ( bnrv200) which has a version of CM7 on it already.
I want to erase the current version and load a completely fresh install myself ( my first time by the way.)
I followed this video to the letter and had no problems with the process youtube com/watch?v=88qRbLLEAPQ[/url] all seems to go well.
Here is the process if you don't want to watch the vid:
put Clockworkmod 4g_clockwork-3.0.2.8 img on SD card
put CM7.2 zip on sd card
put google apps gapps-gb-20110307-signed on sd card
put sd card in nook color boot
format system/data/cache.
install CM7 from sd card all goes fine
install gapps from sd card all goes fine
choose "reboot system now"
reboots to OLD install !!!
BUT when I reboot the OLD install is still there. I have formatted everything possible and have no idea what I am doing wrong??

You are probably using too old of a CWM. The older versions do not wipe the newer nooks properly. You can get the latest CWM on my tips thread linked in my signature. Also you can wipe completely by flashing my format partitions 5, 6, and 7 zip. Then you can flash the new CM7.2 zip with the new CWM.
