I am running CM7 build cyanogenmod-7-05252011-NIGHTLY-encore booting from my 8GB sandisk microSD card.
I try to use ROM Manager v4.3.1.3 to respond to the notifications that a new nightly build (#95 now # 96) is available. I follow the steps to install the update including GAPPS. The resulting recovery process, after downloading the update, does not update the build. I then keep getting the notifications that a new update is available.
I copied the latest stable build of CM7 for the CN to the root of my SD card and tried to install it using ROM Manager. Same result.
It seems that the recovery process is not finding the update images. See the attached output of the recovery process.
Could the recovery process be looking for updates in the internal memory rather than the SD?
How do I ensure that the update will update the SD build and not the stock install ?
The only way I've had success is to put the SD card in my PC & then I see the actual root of the card. If I use the USB connection the root directory is not mounted. Sorry if this is obvious, but it wasn't for me at first.
Cheers,

I don't know where rom manager downloads the images to, but I used your suggested method to copy the stable build. It shows up OK in rom manager but when selected to install by rom manager the recovery process produces the same output as noted in my attachment....with no update.

What happens if you boot into recovery? Does it see the update?
Oh, when you mount the SD card in the PC is the drive named "Boot"?
Cheers,
kev
The picture attached to my original post shows the results of booting into recovery mode. Yes the SD drive is named Boot in my PC.
I did find a post which said that rom manager installs of the CM7 nightly updates will only update an install on the internal memory, not the SD card.
With that in mind I will leave it alone and concentrate on playing with my alternate SD install of the Honeycomb build which is very slick !! I wish only wish a more stable version was available.
In the meantime I am still awaiting an autoroot for NC 1.2 before I take the plunge to replace the B&N stock.

I think that CWR does exactly that. It's made for recovery with an emmc rooted install.
Pull the SD and put the nightly build directly on the root "\boot". Rename the nightly by preceding the name with "update-" and then the rest of the file name. Reinsert the SD and boot. Before you see the green cyanogen splash, hold down the "n" (Home) key and you'll see it say something like "booting into menu" You can release the "n" key at that point. You'll get a screen that will allow you you to boot to the sd (or emmc) and recovery. The update will install from that point.
Hi this is what is on my sd card when I put it in a card reader via the computer .

You should say " unable to boot into recovery" instead of " unable to update to latest stable on sd card".
You have 2 options
1. Continue trying the magic combination of power/N buttons or
2. Boot into CM7 regularly then select reboot recovery from there.
Hi I have tried option 2 many times but doesnt work . I had come across a thread somewhere that talked about the u boot bin, that some only work for the inital install of cm7 . If I put a mult bin boot on the card would that work ? Regards
If option 2 didn't work, you can try option 1.
Hi I have had multiple trys with option 1 not working . In evergreens post it sayes that the soft boot doesnt work yet with the imag update only by the magic buttons .
How to update if you already installed using older version of the installer and don't want to reinstall (understandably):
•Get update zip from http://crimea.edu/~green/nook/update-genimage-1.3.zip
•Put the zip file as is onto the first partition of your sdcard..
•reboot into recovery (triggered by the keys, the reboot into recovery does not work yet).
•The new version would be installed and you are done.
•You can combine this installation together with updating to .32 kernel in one step. Just put the update-cm file and the update-genimage-1.3.zip to the first partition. Make sure there is still at least 1M of space left!
I deleted both updates off sd card went to parsus partition mangaer to check at least 1mb space and there was 4.3 mb space in the boot drive . I then redownloaded the files and thought I would retry . When I put the sd card with cm7 on it in the card reader to copy then redownloaded files in it only lets me put one file on. It sayes disk in destination drive full , first I tried with the http://crimea.edu/~green/nook/update-genimage-1.3.zip so I deleted it then copied the cm7.1 stable and it let me do that, then I tried to recopy the first one back on and it comes up with destination drive full, so it will let me do one but not both, though I originally had both at the beginning before I deleted and redownloaded and attempted to redo
I did try to update to the release candiate end of july but couldnt get it to happen either and thought I would wait for the stable but no luck either . I am so confused it should be simple it was simple when I first rooted my nook in June . I do want to be able to update regularly I am just not sure why its not happening . I download the files to the computer , put the cm7 in a card reader and copy them across ?? . Then try the reboot using a clock with a second hand I must of tried 40 times . What am I missing . Any help appreciated
This is what was originally on my sd card
update-genimage-1.3zip 1kb shortcut
I have redownloaded the file and saved it and I havent got the shortcut at the end which may have stopped it from updating ? when I originally tried .
If the update imager gives you so much problem, then why not create one from scratch?
Thanks Votinh I have redone a new sd card . The first time it didnt work. It didnt get past the penquin set up stage. I had loaded the image and the cm7 and the gapps altogether so I reformatted it . This time I just burnt the image and installed the cm7 first . When that was up and running I did the gapps and it did work . I am just going to try titanum backup on my old card and transfer across to the new card, just need to work out how to do the transfer . Thanks again. I have transferred mydata and. Apps very happy
Yeah, as I instructed others, do one at a time, it's un-convenience but it works.
Glad yours up and running.

Exactly... and that's also why I promote the use of adb to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to /sdcard/boot.... makes it easy to copy things to the boot partition for installing gapps and updating AOS... don't have to remove the uSD once its set up.
Good point!
A lot to learn, m8

Trying to prepare 32gb card for nook cm7
Using verigreen's size agnostic img
Wrote it to the card using win image writer
dropped cm7 and gapps
on boot it recognizes card, makes partitions, inflats stuff everything looks ok
on reboot it does NOT boot from sd
instead goes to nook default
exact same stuff on 8gb card works fine
what gives?
I have two nooks at this point
both may have cwm recovery - i dont know how to check
(I know how to use nook, update it etc, but not sure about this cwr thingy)
one has cm7.1 on emmc
other has nook 1.2 rom on emmc
in both of them if i insert 8/16/32gb card
1) if sd card has fresh verygreen image with update...zip and gapps..zip installer kicks in and preps sd card
2) once i reboot, it ---- does NOT ---- boot from sd card anymore
All I want is bootable sd card with cm7.1 on it so that I can give it to a friend of mine
what am I doing wrong
is there a way to force nook to boot from sd card?
I think if it finds cwr on emmc and cwr on sd, it boots from emmc or something
I use win32diskimager which I think gives more reliable results.
Also you must mount the card in a PC for writing the image using a real USB / SD adapter. Using a card media slot on the PC or using another device like a phone to mount the card are known to give problems.

Only put the CM7 zip file on it for the first boot.
use easeus partition software to extend the size of the boot partition to 200 MB after you flash the card with verygreens installer, but before you put cm7 and gapps on there.
I bet you it fails to write the kernel during the install because there is insufficient space - try it again without resizing and pay attention to the readout when it scrolls down the screen, you'll see.
cm7.1 + gapps is almost your whole boot partition, for me it leaves only half a megabyte of free space - that's not enough to unpack and install what's needed.

Sorry for the OP but also happy for you that your NC is up and running.
I keep saying many times, do it one at a time.
...........
Sorry to bring this thread back but I'm having the same problem using verygreen's tutorial on my NC 1.3. However after booting the NC I get the "cyanogen mod loading..." screen shortly followed by a blank screen (Nook doesn't turn off, though). If I remove the SD card the nook starts up as it normally would.
Followed the advice of these other members (extended partition size to 16gb/16gb, haven't installed gapps either) but I still can't get it to work.
I'm using the latest nightly release of CM7 following the link on verygreen's tutorial released on 11/23. Should I use a stable version instead?
Thanks...

There's where you made your mistake. The recommendations of the others on the forum were probably to expand the partition created by verygreen's image to something like 200MB or 250MB. The scripts in the image create and format 3 other partitions in addition to the one created by verygreen's image. When you expanded it to the full size of the SD card there was no room to create the additional partitions.
I would suggest you re-apply verygreen's image, expand it to 250MB and try again.

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.

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
Hey guys, I'm having a tough time getting the Mirage CM7 ROM to work on my Nook Color via SD.
First I went to the Mirage thread I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
I downloaded the ROM from the first post. I heard there's a more recent build, 11102012, but I can't find it :\ (some help finding it would be nice). Also
Since Eyeballer's guide that was listed is for eMMC only, I went to the other thread, verygreen's guide, that was linked in his guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I got the .GZ from there, unpacked, and wrote the IMG on the SD card (using Win32DiskImager). Then I copied and pasted the ROM directly onto the SD.
I proceeded to boot my Nook with the SD card, and now all I get is
"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"
I also downloaded the file from the "How to update if you already installed using older version of the installer and don't want to reinstall (understandably):" part of verygreen's thread but no success
