I want to put CM7 on my nook color. I am VERY confused by everything that is out there because I did the same with my G Tab in a very straightforward manner. I didn't root my G Tab because as it was explained ClockWorkMod (CWM) did the rooting for me. I think that a lot of my confusion is due to the fact that people here are creating bootable SD cards, and I really don't want to do that at this point.
Basically, all I did with my G Tab was to install CWM and copy the ROM file over via USB and installed it with CWM. And that's it. I had CM7 up and running. I did no rooting beforehand - CWM took care of all of this. I did no flashing or writing of image files.
People here are mentioning ROM manager apps, and rooting and downloading apps from the market for this, and all sorts of things. No apps were involved when I installed CM7 in the G Tab. And I could use CWM to select ROMS if I had more than one.
So, basically CWM did all the work. Is there such a simple procedure for the nook color? Where can I get clockworkmod for the nook?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link. But this still involves playing around with bootable SD cards, and if I do that, I might as well install CM7 to a bootable SD card.
Is there no way to avoid SD cards?

I looked into this when I installed CM7 on my NC. I think the answer, basically, is no. You can pick up the latest clockwork recovery from the official site here:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
You may be able to install it with ADB, or maybe you could install ROM manager on the rooted stock Android OS and go from there.
I just decided to go with the flow: make a bootable CM7 SD card, install CM7 on internal memory with ROM Manager, remove card, reboot, install CWM Recovery on internal memory with ROM Manager, reformat SD card using my phone.
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 am very new to rooting, but I've installed CM7.1 on the Nook's EMMC without any hiccups. I want to flash the Mirage ROM on there, but when I put my Sandisk 8gb class 4 mSD card into my computer via USB reader, it shows I have very little space and thus am not able to copy any zip files. I've read around about partitions and such, but I wanted to ask the xda community before I try anything.
Again, I'm running on complete internal memory and would like to make use of the 8gb card to install different ROMs, etc.
Any ideas? Would really appreciate the help.
If you used the SD card for installation in the first place then it would have been partitioned with just a small boot partition to do the installation work. After you have it on emmc then the instal stuff on the SD is not needed any more and you restore the card back to its full size 8GB with just one partition for normal external storage use. You can either use the HP USB format tool or a partition manager. This will give you the full 8GB on the SD available for use by CM7.
If you then want to replace / update the emmc ROM you just connect to PC with USB, turn on USB storage and the PC will see the 8GB card completely. No need to ever take the SD out. You copy across any ROM zips you need and then reboot into recovery. The recovery then allows you to flash the zips that you put on the SD.
**Edit**Sorry to Bob, I mis-read initially***
You can use the HP USB format tool HERE to regain the full size of the card after using it as a boot disk.

I think your first paragraph is completely true but the 2nd paragraph is deadly wrong. And if I'm wrong, I own you an apology.
To OP, as bob stated in his first paragraph, if you have been using your 8GB Sandisk uSD as an installer (CwMR image and ROM files), then yes, when you plug it in the PC, PC only see about 100+ MB. In order to regain fully 8GB, you have to reformat it again (using many tools out there).
BIG NOTE: if later, you need to update ROM again, you MUST create a flashable uSD again. So, my recommendation:
1. Get a cheap 1GB or 2GB uSD card and use it just for installer. Use your 8GB Sandisk as addition storage or
2. Use your 8GB Sandisk as an installer and LEARN how to flash/install ROM from ROM Manager. I DID NOT use this option so I don't have any experience. I can't help. From what I read from other members, this is a very good way to update ROM, quick and easy but it requires flashing CwMR into the eMMC, which I don't want to. This way will eliminate the process of insertion/removal the uSD off the NC. Other members will help you throuh.
To bob,
About your 2nd paragraph of updating ROM via USB, I don't think it works that way. If it does and has been verified, I am blast to learn from you.
I may be reading the OP's issue incorrectly but I think he/she wants to keep the bootable SD card for future repairs and updates and just drop additional ROMS to install on it. Since the original imaging only formats about as much as was originally needed the rest of the card remains unformatted. All that needs to be does is to use a utility like EaseUs Partition Manager (free) to stretch the existing partition to recover the remaining space. Then he/she can drop ROM .zips on it to his/her heart's content and flash them. I have several (including the 1.3 stock ROM) on my original installations SD card just for that purpose.

Yeah that's basically what I'm trying to do. Just need Windows to recognize that there is more space and so I guess I have to use the EaseUs Partition program. Any steps on what to do or is it a pretty self-explanatory software?

It is pretty self explanatory. You just highlight the partition and drag the button to the right to increase the size. After that you have to "complete" the process because at that point it is still waiting for you to make a final decision. It has been so long since I used it I can't recall the final instruction.

I do use this method to install new zips all the time but maybe I wasn't clear that you use recovery to select and install the new zip from the SD card. You do not need to remove the SD card and use a new SD installer to put a new ROM on. When you put CM7 on emmc using the standard eyeballer method then you have clockwork on emmc.
So from an emmc install with a re-formatted SD which has all space available as a normal single partition user space.
1. Plug in USB and mount the drive.
2. Copy the new ROM zip onto root of SD card.
3. Unmount drive
4. Press power key for a few seconds to get menu and Select reboot into recovery.
5. In recovery then do whatever wipes are felt necessary and then select install zip from SD card. You will see the new ROM in the file list. Select and install.
6. Reboot system
Steps 4 and 5 can also be initiated by using ROM Manager.
Now it is also worth having a backup small SD installer card but you do NOT need this for routine ROM updating; only if something goes drastically wrong.
It is also good to reduce the number of times the SD card is swapped around. It can be fiddly and there is always the small risk of damaging the slot which is then very bad news.
First of all, I don't use "standard eyeballer method", in fact, I don't know what that is.
Secondly, I don't want to install CwMR into the eMMC.
Maybe those are the differences.
Problem: ClockworkMod not booting from MicroSD card
What I'm trying to do: Dual-boot CyanogenMod 7 with the stock Nook Color with Cyanogen 7 on a MicroSD card, but without rooting the Nook Color.
What I've done so far:
1. Downloaded ClockworkMod 3.2.0.1 from download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.1-encore.img
2. Downloaded Win32DiskImager from launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/trunk/0.3/+download/win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.3-r27-binary.zip
3. Using Win32DiskImager, flashed ClockworkMod onto the MicroSD card.
4. Ejected MicroSD card.
5. Inserted MicroSD card into Nook Color (which is turned off)
6. Connected Nook Color to PC via USB cable
7. Powered on Nook Color
8. Watched as standard Nook Color boots. Nothing at all displays related to ClockworkMod.
Other troubleshooting thus far
a. I've gone back to step 3, used Windows 7 to just format the SD card to ensure it was blank, and then started with Step 3 again.
b. I've ensured the MicroSD card is set properly into the Nook Color.
c. I've tried holding down the power key on the Nook Color (no effect).
d. Searched these forums via its Search function, and searched via Google (most references use ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8, which a few posts mention does not work on the "blue dot" version of Nook Color.
Misc:
MicroSD card: SanDisk Type-2 4GB
Nook Color (the "blue-dot" version that starts with a 1GB partition for side-loading)
PC: Windows 7 64-bit, built-in SD card reader/writer
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If all you're trying to do is setup a bootable SD card with CM7 on it, and retain the ability to also boot to the stock Nook ROM, try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Based on "What I'm trying to do" and "What I've done so far", you are heading to the completely wrong direction.
A good thing is you had not been able to get into CwM Recovery, otherwise, you made a mess of your NC.
Just stop "what you've done so far" and follow the link that shumash provided above.

Agreed, you don't need clockwork mod for an SD card install. Follow the directions in my signature (adds some details that verygreen leaves out).
Installing image for CM7
I have a nook color that was purchased just a week ago and had 1.4.0 firmware on it. I had updated it to 1.4.1 before noticing that this particular firmware blocked the nook from being hacked. I had read in one of the threads how to revert back to 1.4.0, adding acclaim.zip file to the sd card would do the trick. I tried this and when my nook went to sleep, nothing. I ended up using the nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip with a clockworkmod recovery file and followed steps provided in other threads. Then I was stuck at the "n" screen and could not get any further. With an additional 8 Factory resets and doing the complete restore a second time I was able to get back to what I believe is factory. The difference is, out of the box I had 1.4.0 and now I have 1.3.0. I believe this is fine.
I am wanting to put CM7 with google apps on my nook. I have read a thread that suggested putting an agnostic size image file and when used, my 16gb sd card went down to >200 mb. What is a good image file to use for my card or what am I doing wrong? I am using Win32DiskImager to write my images. I have tried generic-sdcard.img for both 1.1 and 1.3 and the above still happens. I loose over 14gb of space.
I have downloaded the following to use once I have figured out what image to use. update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip for my CM7 and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip for my google apps.
Thanks for all the hard work that is put into making our nook experience the best!!!

If you're installing CM anyhow, the version of B&N running is not important, correct.

You might want to check out CM 7.2 RC0 Mirage (search here). It incorporated all of the fixes and some optimizations up through CM n253.
I am wanting to install CM to SD for dual boot. I have completed the process for adding the image to my card. The problem is that, after adding the image I now have 115mb on my 16gb card. If, I go ahead and install to my SD card will the space on the card be opened up or do I have to do something else?

If you're getting that 115mb number from your PC card reader on Windows, that's misleading because that's just the size of the boot partition. There are other partitions on the card that take up space and are formatted to be used by CM7. Boot into CM7 on the SD card and see how much space you've got on the /sdcard partition. It should be many gb.
To see how the card is partitioned and the sizes in Windows, get Easeus Partition Master. It's free. If the last partition (the 4th) isn't fully allocated, use Easeus to do it. Don't resize any of the other partitions until you really know what you're doing.

Many users have had difficulty installing the HD+ CM10/10.1 ROMs using the Original/Legacy (verygreen) SD setup (especially Windows users). I have written this guide and have made some tools that should make it easier. No need for ADB or Linux. I have upgraded the CWM (clockworkmod) recovery to version 6.0.2.8 which includes larger fonts, a brighter screen and the ability to use the internal storage for installing zips and performing backups. It also uses verygreen's process from his early4 zip that aligns partitions at 2M. This guide and tools are for the Original/Legacy SD setup by verygreen, not the Hybrid. If you want the Hybrid, go here.
Setting up the SD
Begin by downloading the files you need either with stock or your PC. You will need my updated SD image file, attached below (do not use the early4 image from the verygreen thread), the CM ROM zip you want to install and the gapps zip to match it. Put the last two zips on your internal media sdcard built into the HD+. You can get the HD+ CM10 ROMs here and the HD+ CM10.1 ROMs here. You can get the gapps zips here, 20121011 for CM10 and 20130301 for CM10.1.
Extract the SD image zip and you will have a 117MB .img file. Burn that to your SD with Win32DiskImager in Windows or the dd command in Linux or OSX. The SD needs to be at least 4GB and preferably a SanDisk Class 4.
To use Win32DiskImager, find it on the web (here, it's free) and install it on your Windows PC. Open it (be sure to run it as administrator) and select the drive (device) that has your card reader with your SD inserted. Then in the image file box put the location where you have the extracted img file. Then when everything is set right, click on the write button. A warning will pop up asking if you want to proceed. When you have verified that you are going to write to the correct device, click on Yes. (One user overwrote their external USB hard drive by not verifying first.) If you get an error message about access denied, it means you are looking at the drive with Windows Explorer. Close Windows Explorer and try again. In fact, it is a good idea to close all unnecessary windows when burning, even your browser.
When burning is complete, insert the SD into the Nook and boot. It should boot to the cyanoboot logo and sit there for a little while while it creates the other partitions on the SD and formats CM10SDCARD. Then it will end up in CWM for HD+ Original SD. If it does not leave the cyanoboot logo within a reasonable time (it hangs sometimes), just touch the power key and CWM should come up. To use CWM, press the volume up/down keys to move the cursor and the n key to select an item. The power key is the back button.
Installing ROMs
You can use the "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory" option to flash the CM ROM you downloaded earlier to your internal memory sdcard. Then you can flash the right version of gapps to match your ROM.
When you reboot (you need to leave the SD in the slot), the CM ROM should start. You will need to register with Google to set up Play Store.
If you later want to upgrade your ROM to another build, download it to your CM10SDCARD partition using CM. Then boot to CWM and flash it.
Backing Up
This version of CWM lets you back up and restore your setup. You can even back up to internal memory. It does not back up /boot, but does back up /system, /data and /cache.
Swapping EMMC and SDCARD
Some users have installed CM to a small SD card and want their apps to use the large internal media storage to store their data. I have developed a couple of zips to swap EMMC and SDCARD when booted to CM so that internal memory is available to your apps to store their files. One zip will add the swap and one will remove it. Get them attached below.
These zips can be flashed with CWM but will only install to the Original SD with CM. I just fixed a bug in the rev0 and rev1 zips. If you already flashed rev0 or rev1, you need to flash the remove zip before you flash the rev2 fixed version. No need to boot in between.
With rev2, both SDCARD and EMMC will show internal media storage, as will both MTP folders. A new folder, ext_sdcard, will show the external SD media partition.
Updating earlier versions of CWM
Updating prior installs of the Original SD installation to this new version of CWM is easy. Just download the ramdisk zip file attached below and extract the file. Put your old SD setup in your PC and rename the ramdisk.cwm to ramdisk.cwm.bak. Then copy the new ramdisk.cwm you just extracted to the card, replacing the version that was there. Next time you boot to CWM, the 6.0.2.8 version for HD+ Original SD will be there.

Yes, you can use bokbokan's hybrid image to do it the same way for the HD. And I think his standard image does it too.

question...
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else but, I did this using a 32gb card and everything I running smooth. I have a 64gb card that I want to switch it out for. I know it won't be a problem doing the root and all of that again, but I was wondering if anybody knows how to change the 32gb SD card back to normal? When I stick it in my computer all it shows is the boot partition and when I try to format it, it only formats that's partition. Meaning that my 32gb card turns into a worthless 116 mb card. I've tried on windows and Ubuntu and get the same results...
So does anybody have any suggestion?

I know it won't be a problem doing the root and all of that again, but I was wondering if anybody knows how to change the 32gb SD card back to normal? When I stick it in my computer all it shows is the boot partition and when I try to format it, it only formats that's partition. Meaning that my 32gb card turns into a worthless 116 mb card. I've tried on windows and Ubuntu and get the same results...
So does anybody have any suggestion?

Yes, use SDFormatter free from the web. It will do it.

Thank you, I will try that and let you know how it works
This is probably a stupid question, but once I've got the SD card set up properly, can I then go ahead and delete the ZIP files that I've installed? Or do I need to keep them kicking around? Figure if I can free up some space, I should.

You can delete them if you want, but I usually always keep them somewhere so I don't have to redownload them if I need to reflash, which very oftern I have to for various reasons. I can always delete them later if space becomes an issue.

*nod* I meant deleting them off the SD card (should have specified). I'd be keeping them on my fileserver to ensure that I can reflash the sdcard to the same version I started with if I need to.

Setting up the SD
Begin by downloading the files you need either with stock or your PC. You will need my updated SD image file, attached below, the CM ROM zip you want to install and the gapps zip to match it. Put the last two zips on your internal media sdcard.

I'm confused by this, what are you referring to as "internal media sdcard"? I used win32 to burn the .img file, then booted into CWM...I'm clearly doing this wrong, because after that, the sdcard only has 117mb and no room to put ROMs on

You are doing it right. 117MB is what it is supposed to have. You do not put the files on that card. You put them on the HD+ (on the internal sdcard).
If you could see that it only had 117 MB, you were not booted to CWM, you were looking at the SD while it was still inserted in the PC. Booted to CWM means it is in the Nook.
When you insert the burned SD into the powered off HD+, then turn it on, it boots to CWM. That is what I mean by booting to CWM.
The internal sdcard means the storage that is built into the HD+ (that is why I call it internal). Boot to stock and download the files with it. They get put on the internal sdcard or "sdcard" as it is called. After you insert the burned card into the HD+ and boot to it, CWM has the ability to flash the zips by reading them from the internal sdcard built into the HD+.
Edit: I just clarified that in the OP. It is hard to anticipate how users will interpret your words in advance.

i dont seem to understand what file is supposed to amount to about 120mb. i extract "cm-10-20121231-UNOFFICIAL-ovation" and amounts to more than 200mb's but it also replaces other files.

You do not extract the cm zip. You extract the image zip which is attached to the post. It is the one that is 120 MB and is the one you burn to the SD with win32diskimager.

thank you for the help. i appreciate it! i can now use my new HD+ (bought it last night) to its full potential.
I just wanted to say that I was suffering from the dreaded "Nook refuses to boot from the SD card" syndrome. I tried three different SD cards burned using four different computers, to no avail. Tried this patch? Worked perfectly. Thanks! :laugh:
SDXC cards viable for this use?
Well, that registration video was a real interesting bit compared to most forums I've ever used. Somebody put a lot of work into that.
I'm noticing a lot of emphasis on Class 4 cards. Impetuous sort that I am, I already obtained a Sandisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC (Class 10/UHS 1) card for this project. Best Buy had a good deal and I was hoping to have a lot of room to work with and it wasn't clear what access to the internal storage would be available or best left alone. Has anyone had success or great problems with this card?
Other than that issue before attempting to execute the install, this is a very helpful thread. Much clearer than verygreen's original. That shouldn't be taken as an insult to verygreen as technical writing for those outside a project is not a skill everyone has or should have. Asking those deep within a project to shift mental gears to operate at the outsider's level can be a waste of resources and is often better delegated to a specialist. And we should be thankful for those specialists when they volunteer like this.

Some have had good success with that card, especially if they use my Hybrid setup which uses less of the SD to operate from.

It appears to be working on the first try. I'm currently syncing my app set from the Play store. It looks like this will be a huge value add for the Nook. I wouldn't have bought it if the full Android option weren't there. I just hope enough of us still buy books from B&N to keep them going.
Thanks.
