For future reference, if I find any bugs with the latest version of cyanogenmod 7, how do I downgrade to a stable version of cyanogenmod 6?
Tonight is a big night for all CyanogenMod 7 user we expecting RC1!!!
Use ROM Manager to install a 2.5.* version of Clockwork Mod (this is the last option in the menu). Then go to Clockwork Mod and either flash a non-CM7 ROM or restore a backup.
Facing similar problem.
My HTC Desire is not detected on my PC & also i am not able to mount the sd card. when i tried using ROM Manager, it doesnt allows any function without sd card mounted.
Please help!!!
Thanks in Advance.

Hi everyone,
I just got my Iconia Tab. It's rooted and has clockwork recovery. I'm trying to figure out how I can see the external SD card (which is installed) on my PC so that I can install custom Roms and kernels. The only way I can do this is by installing a zip from the SD Card, not from the internal memory.
Thanks.
You can't yet. So copy to internal and then use any file explorer (astro, es file explorer, etc) to copy it over to /mnt/external_sd
Well that's annoying. Even archos could get that feature to work on my internet tablet. Oh well, I'm sure its coming soon.

You know, someone posts this every week. Maybe a search would have helped... anyways, each time I try to respond, maybe no one wants a real (and easy) solution.
Droid Explorer, install on your PC. Use it. Profit.
Listen, I always attempt to find an answer before posting a question. I try on Google, and then on the xda search. Sorry that I didn't find anything or feel like going through pages of threads to find an answer. Also, thanks for the suggestion.

Since you are already rooted give the Virtuous Xoom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167391 a chance to land on your tablet.
Its HC 3.2 based and you'll see the external SD card w/o modifying anything. Cake
I have tried looking for these, but it's been a long night of not understanding some of this stuff and I've gotten to that dreaded, "I give up, this isn't worth it" point. Because of this I may simply not be seeing the answers right in front of me. These are the things I don't understand right now.
1. I've followed the steps to the letter about installing CM7 on an SD card. Then I try to follow the steps to get gapps on there and can't boot into recovery. I don't think I actually can boot into recovery from sd but it doesn't say no anywhere. Confused.
2. I don't get why there is a dialer on the ROM. It's so strange that it makes me question whether I did something wrong. Am I the only one that thinks this is wierd or is there some backstory to why it's been left built into the ROM? There's gotta be some reason.
3. Still can't find anything that tells me how I would go about installing apps that I have apk files for on my computer, where I copy them to on my sd card, and where I put other files (pdfs, docs, videos, music) that I want to be able to run.
4. Is an sd card ROM install REALLY the same as booting from the nook itself? Or dual-booting? I feel like it couldn't possibly be the same speed or fluidity. i need to have the ROM but I also need easy access to the actual Nook.
Again, I'm probably wrong in my thinking with some of these things, but very often, even in noob guides, these questions aren't really addressed directly. Anyway, if someone can help me understand these things, I'd really appreciate it. I'm almost at my wit's end fishing for these answers.
Thanks, guys.
1) Just let cm7 load up. Then hold power. A menu comes up. Select reboot. Then select recovery. Then it will do its thing.
2) Cyanogenmod's builds it rom for multiple devices, most of which are phones, so there are items in the rom that pertain to phones ie. dialer.
3) Apks can be placed on any storage area of sd card, or even emmc for that matter, all you need is a file explore like Astro or I believe cm7 rom comes with a file explore. Then just go to the location where you saved the apk and you will be given the option to install the apk.
4)This depends on your sd card. Sandisk cards are the pick of the litter and provide a good user experience. If you use a less worthy sd card then yes there will be lag and it will be less fluid. I myself am on emmc but my friend is on a sandisk card and both perform pretty much the same.

1. To boot into recovery easily boot into CM7 then on the homescreen hold down the power button until the power off menu appears choose "reboot", in the next menu choose "recovery" and press "OK". The nook would reboot straight into recovery.
2. Those apps are included to allow more apps to show up in the market. You didn't do anything wrong.
3.To install APK applications on your Android phone do the following:
Copy the APK file you want to install to your phone's memory card and insert the card into your Android phone.
Go to Android Market and search for the Apps Installer, App Installer, z-App Installer or Fast Installer application.
Open it and click on the Install button.
After it is installed, just open it. It will show you all the APK files stored directly in the root directory of your memory card.
Just click on the application you want to install and it will be installed.
You could also just install a file manager app like Astro File Manager and then browse to the APK and install it.
4. Depends on the SD card if you using a sandisk card there isn't really any difference but eMMC is always going to be at least a little bit faster and SD cards are more likely to fail quicker but if your using a sandisk you really shouldn't have a problem.
Hope that helps.

I've done it half a dozen times. It doesn't root into recovery. I've rooted and flashed my phone several times, so I'm comfortable with the process.

I only see a really tiny partition to save apks and videos and not enough to save stuff on the card.

I'm on a class 4 sandisk 8gb so I should be good.

Try putting your sd card back into your computer and put the google apps zip in the boot partition again. Then try the steps mentioned above.
That tiny partition is your boot partition there should be others that were created for storage purposes. I think verygreens process creates 4 partitions. You might need partitioning software to see the other partitions if your computer does not recognize them.
Edit: This thread has some info on the partition software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187625
I dont know, Im thinking I might not have recovery. Is that even possible?
I had first used the microsd card to try a Honeycomb ROM and then used win32diskimager to place the cm7 rom on there thinking it would completely write over what was there. Should I have formatted instead?
Maybe this is an opportunity to try the rc 7.1?
Sent from the XDA App
Yes I would suggest that you format and start from the beginning using verygreens process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 and CM 7.1 rc.
As far as recovery no you do not have recovery such as clockwork mod per-say. This part of the process doesn't take you to a recovery menu. What it does is initiate the install process of the google apps zip.
I don't see a 7.1. I only see these: ??

Is that basically what you mean by 7.1? The newest one of these?

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the help last night. Really appreciate it.
I still don't get how I'm supposed to copy media to the microsd when I can only access a small part of it. This is all I can see on Windows Explorer.
How do I put a 600MB video file on the card or anything else (music, documents, etc) if I only have room for this much??

What you are seeing is the boot partition. Your storage is on the 4th partition. To access your storage space you should transfer it over through the nook via USB.

Ok, cool. Thanks.
Actually, that is because when you created the image to on the card the software only formatted as much as it needed for the image and left the rest unformatted. Download EaseUS to your PC and you can then stretch the unformatted partition out or create an additional one and get your space back. The app is here and it is free: http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm

Even so, you can only access it through usb via the NOOK, at least on Windows since it only sees the very first FAT32 partition, which appears to be the boot partition.
You guys are awesome. I've totally come to understand better this whole process. I was at that deep-end point last night where nothing was making sense, everything was coming out wrong, and ai was ready to give up. Now I have a pretty smooth running and sweet cm7 nook color. I wish it could run Honeycomb but alas... maybe in time.
For now, the only thing missing for me is to know what the best video player is for CM7 and whether Flash runs on this ROM or not in browsers.
Thanks, guys.

Rock Player (Lite version is enough) seems to play everything.
Flash is OK, at least on Dophin HD and Opera Mobile

Hey, I just got a new Atrix and after following all the excellent guides around here I've managed to unlock, root and put cm7 on it. After using cm7 for I while I wanted to try cm9 so I followed Jokersax's instructions and formatted the system, wiped and installed the zip. However, now whenever I go into Rom Manager it tells me SD Card Not Mount. The SD Card needs to be mounted to use Rom Manager. I do not have an external SD card but I was using the internal one with cm7 no problem. I also tried rebooting into recovery and partitioning differently which didn't change it. The issue that bothers me most is that I can't install Swype from the link in my email. I'd really like to be able to use this with cm9 and right now no luck :/ If anyone has any additional help or ideas I would be very appreciative.
First post, woo! Awesome stuff on here everyone, thanks!
Try going to:
[Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Application]
And check the box next to "Use internal storage" and reboot.

I did have to do that when using cm7 but I can't find cm settings on cm9. Unless the menus are changed so much that I just can't see it.

Is it possible to install CM10 on the internal EMMX of Nook HD. I know that it is possible to bypass the Nook HD bootloader to prevent it from checking if all the files match. I want to know how to do that with bootloader.
Thanks

It is possible. Hack away. Just don't bug the rest of us always asking for how to do it when most of us don't have a clue. Very few do. It takes some very talented people to figure it out. Do you understand how to read, modify and write code? That is what it is going to take.

I do understand how to code. But I don't understand how these systems are set up.
Can anybody explain exactly what "locking" the bootloader means? Is the boot code in the Nook's OMAP ROM designed to check for a cryptographic signature in images it loads from EMMC storage? Even though it doesn't make any such check for images loaded from the SD card? (The OMAP Wiki doesn't seem to mention anything about checking signatures.)
I tried overwriting the first 8 MB of /dev/block/mmcblk0 on my HD with the partition table and VFAT boot partition from a CWM Recovery SD card. It would not boot, even though the the HD boots perfectly well off the card.

You are right about the bootloader checking crypto codes on emmc. And it does on SD too. Verygreen has just found a loophole to defeat the check. That is your challenge, find a loophole to defeat the lock on emmc. Study verygreen's code and you may get a clue.

I assume you mean use emmc (internal memory media storage) as "sdcard". Usually with CM10 you can add a simple file to swap emmc and the real sdcard. But because of the way emmc is mounted on this device, that does not work. Why do you want it? There is a work around if you really need it.

Yes, emmc is the thing i mentioned. I dont see it on my nooo then cant use it as storage.

If you just want to use it as media storage, it is available as "emmc" in your file manager. You can copy files there. And you can sometimes set your applications to use "emmc" instead of "sdcard". Is that what you want to know?

What file manager are you using? The one that comes with CM10? If so go to settings in the lower right and click on it. Then general, then access mode and select root. Then you can go to sdcard0, which is internal storage. That file manager is very bad. I recommend you get root browser lite in play store.
