Hi I'm trying to write the image using winimage85 but I don't know how to write it. I clicked on write image on floppy and it has an error sign. Can anyone help me? BTW here is the guide that I'm using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Sorry about this, I've never done this before and I'm not a very good technological person.
Anyone? Please help. I tried win32diskimage and it won't work nor will winimage.

It appears the SD card is already properly formatted
Skiping format
Mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 as /boot
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
Ok I got to this part and I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it. Please help.
Did you make sure to put the cm .zip on the boot partition after you burned the image?

Yes, but now I have a new problem lol. When I open my nook with the sd card, a green cyanogemod sign comes out then blank.
try using win32diskimager. Be sure to right click on the program after installation and run as administrator.
Also try using the image from this site.
I used the 1 gb image on my 4 gb card and it worked just fine.
I had lots of problems until I used the eyeballer image. Finally got my card to write and install successfully.
^^ The link doesn't work lol. I tried win32disk but I don't know how to use it. I open it using winzip but then I don't know what to do from there. I use winimage is that good enough?

Sometimes winimage has issues. I can't get it to work half the time.

Oh... I didn't know that. If so can you tell me how to use win32diskmanager? when I get it, it's in a winzip file and I open the folder and then I don't know what to do from there. I think I got all the right stuff though. I got:android_secure, BN downloads, LOST.DIR, My files, and the rest are white MLO, uRecImg, uRecRam, u-boot.bin, uImage, uRamdisk. Did I do anything wrong so far?

Once you have the xxx.tar.gz you need to expanded at two levels. First you are need to uncompress the file to get to the xxx.tar archive. Then you need to open the .tar archive to get to the image file, 8gb_clockwork-0.7.
If you are running UNIX this is a simple process likely to just required double clicking. If you are running Windows you need a 3rd party program like 7-zip.
Once you get the get to the img file you use a utility to burn the image to the SD card. I run windows and used WinImage.
Once I got the files on the uSD card I replaced the uImage and uRamdisk files as described in the instructions.

Ok i think I have most of that down now. I should be getting my SD card in a couple days and then can start hacking it. Are you using CM7 for your NC? That seems to be the best right now. If i have any trouble, ill be sure to ask for help. Thankssss
Following verygreen's directions, I got his installer image onto the sd card (but had to rename it to end in ".img". I removed the card and put it back in the PC, and when I try to put the CM7 file on it, it says card needs to be formatted to use it. I think if I format, it will remove the installer image. Should I have formatted it first? I'm sorry if this sounds really basic (and stupid), but, please help.
So I formatted the card, and put verygreen's image installer back on, removed the card and inserted it again and again get formatting message. It's a sandisk 8gb, new.
According to the directions, I need the image installer on the card and then the CM7 file? I've read and re-read directions and searched links for information on what to do next ???
I think you messed up on the very first step. The file ending .gz is a zip file. I used WinRar to unzip it. There is a .img file inside that you flash to your card.

Thank you, and you're absolutely right, I messed up from the git go. I did finally learn I needed to unzip it, and things went well from there. Quite amazing! Now I need to do a search for the Netflix fast forward (chipmunks) fix.
There's plenty out there on the Netflix thing
Hello
I am looking to root my NC but I don't want to change the internal software. I have looked and read and researched so many methods and threads and I am more confused then anything else.
I need step by step clear (for dummies) instructions to root it onto the SD card.
I just updated it to firmware 1.3 and as i was looking for a method to root it i found very few threads on this.
Then I tried to downgrade to 1.2 and that was unsuccessful. Please someone help me. I want it so bad but i dont know what to do.
No need to downgrade. While I do recommend you do an internal install, it is up to you. Click the link in my sig and go to the SD install section.

Either your description is unclear or I have problem understand your English.
What do you mean by "root NC 1.3 onto MicroSD"?
Moving entire stock ROM version 1.3, rooted, on the uSD to free the internal space?
No. I want to root my NC 1.3, but i want to do it on the MicroSD not on the internal software.
koopakid08...this is probably a dumb question but im lost when i have to download the CM7...which one should I download for the NC..the ones listed are for phones?

Ok so I followed the steps to the T and everything you said happened but after it installed it shut off and did not turn on again.
I turned it on and it booted to the regular nook software. I formated the sd card and did the process again and the same thing happened again.
Did I do something wrong?

Try using winimage to burn the image.
If that doesn't work. Then I'm pretty sure it's your SD card. The only SD card brand you should use to run Android from is a Sandisk brand class 2 or 4. Other SD cards have major issues.

OK. I tried it on my sandisk and the same thing happened.
I will try winimage next. brb
OK that didnt work either.
I dont know what else to do.
You are sure that you are putting the cm.zip file on the boot partition?

Sent from my LG Optimus V using Tapatalk
I first write the image file on the blank/empty card.
Then I take it out of the computer and put it back, just like you said.
Then I open the card folder usually (j) and drag the zipped cm file onto it.
When that is done I drag the zipped gapps file onto the folder.
When that is done I take out the card and with the NC powered off I put in the MSD card and power it on.
All is well until it says removing the gapps, then it powers off.
When I try to power it on again it boots from the original NC, not the MSD card.
One thing though, When I click run as admin, it does not prompt for a password. It just asks if i want to allow the program to to make changes to the computer. I click yes and it opens up Win32. I select the file and the drive and press write. 5 seconds later its done.

Try just putting just the cm.zip, no gapps. That might be the problem.

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.

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.

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.

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
I'm trying to root my nook color using the instructions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 I've spent hours trying to troubleshoot this on my own searching and reading other threads and I am well and truly stuck. Hoping someone here can help. My laptop is Windows 7. I have a Lexar Class 6, 8 Gb micro SD card. I am using an external reader that plugs into the usb port which came with the card, not the laptop reader. I downloaded the gz image file from the thread referenced above. I unzipped it and wrote it to the card using Win32Image. When I look at it in Windows, it shows it as "boot (G" with 4 files, uRamdisk, uimage, u-boot.bin and MLO. I then downloaded the latest stable image zip from CM (cm-10.1.3-encore.zip). I drag the zip file from the folder I saved it to, to the G drive (my micro card). It won't copy because it says there's not enough room. When WinImage wrote the file, the size of my card is changed. It's got G boot as 117 MB and the rest is "unallocated". To try and fix this I downloaded Mini Tool Partition wizard and expanded the drive. I am now able to copy the CM zip file. I get the little penquin in the corner. Looks like it's doing it's thing and then it stops. The last few lines where the error appears to be happening are as follows:
Mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 as /boot
EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p2): recovery complete
EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
Looking for the install images...

I am using an external reader that plugs into the usb port which came with the card, not the laptop reader. I downloaded the gz image file from the thread referenced above. I unzipped it and wrote it to the card using Win32Image. When I look at it in Windows, it shows it as "boot (G" with 4 files, uRamdisk, uimage, u-boot.bin and MLO. I then downloaded the latest stable image zip from CM (cm-10.1.3-encore.zip). I drag the zip file from the folder I saved it to, to the G drive (my micro card). It won't copy because it says there's not enough room. When WinImage wrote the file, the size of my card is changed. It's got G boot as 117 MB and the rest is "unallocated". To try and fix this I downloaded Mini Tool Partition wizard and expanded the drive. I am now able to copy the CM zip file. I get the little penquin in the corner. Looks like it's doing it's thing and then it stops. The last few lines where the error appears to be happening are as follows:
Mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 as /boot
EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p2): recovery complete
EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
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.
The nook.linuxhacker.ru proved to be a dead end for me. Please help. I'm just trying to convert this for my kids to play on so they'll leave my new tablet alone. The app availability on B&N seriously sucks.

after doing some more searching and reading I added "update-" to the front of the CM zip file. It went thru everything, then went back and turned off. I turned it on again. I get a "cynogenboot" (I think that's what it said) splash screen, then it goes blank and boots the regular Nook operating system. grrrr.....this is so frustrating. Guess I'll keep searching while I wait.

You need to go to my NC updated SD install guide linked in my signature. It has updated image files and updated instructions.

found it a while reading thru your tips page. Seems to be working ok. Now how do I access Android Market place. Or do I just use Google play to download apps. I have an ipod the kids usually play apps on, so android/google is all new to me.

Android Marketplace is now called Google Play. So yes, use it.
