How to? Phiremod 7.1 from SD - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know the procedure for making a bootable sd card that will run the Phiremod 7.1 rom from the sd card on my Nook Color? I don't want to put it on the emmc and I can't seem to find out how to do this. I have tried just changing the file name to make it think it was like the CM7 build but that does not work. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Use verygreens 1.3 method to do this. Phiremod can be done just like the original CM7. Search for verygreens post in dev. section

I did try it once. Do you just copy the Phiremod zip onto the SD card in place of the CM7 zip file? Do you have to change the file name of the Phiremod zip?
Thanks for the info I will give it a shot again. Maybe I did something wrong. I did get the Cm7 to work.
Ron

Better to rename something similar to the original CM7. Though, ymmv.

MIUI Nook Color 1.9.16 on SD Card?

I have searched diligently and have yet to find specific instruction for creating a bootable SD card for my NC with MIUI Nook Color 1.9.16 (or any version of MIUI for that matter).
I am currently running a fully rooted version of 1.3 on the emmc and "all is well" and I need it left that way so as to continue having access to "in store reading" which I use quite a bit.
Have previously had CM7 and Phiremod running both internally and on an SD card at various times and tried to do a previous version of MIUI on the card using the same process without any luck.
Thanks in advance.
You can use verygreens method here -

Important part is to rename the miui zip like this -
'How to update to a new build:
put the new build you want to try on the first partition. (the name must be update-cm-*.zip or cm_encore_full*.zip or just update-*.zip)'
..and it should work fine
cheers,
Many thanks as that did the trick!
Loaded and running from SD card.
It installed/is using the new Market interface (3.1.3?).
Where are/is "My Apps" as I do not seem to be able to find it.
D/L Netflix and it runs just as it should but the soundlevel at max is quite a bit lower than on rooted 1.3.
Free Koi living wallpaper looks beautiful.
My Apps - strangely there isn't one, but this works nicely -

Sound level - Download nook tweaks from market and change settings in that
Cheers,
What did you rename the MIUI file? I've tried it a couple different ways and checked the MD5's, but keep getting errors. Unless my SD card has been corrupted somehow (I used it for other SD boots before this, so not too likely), I can't think of anything else causing the problem.
Hi. I tried putting the MIUI zip in the root of the sd card and booted into recovery as stated. It was renamed as one of the cm7 updates and installation went as per normal. However, when I did boot up the nook was stuck looping the MIUI animation and did not finish. What did I do wrong?

Maybe just didn't wait long enough... the first boot takes a long time since the update script clears cache and dalvik cache.
Of course... this is just a wild guess since you didn't provide a whole lot of information... more information may yeild different feedback.

What kind of information? My nook color originally had the latest CM7 nightly on the sd card. I followed verygreen's method when I installed that. I used the NC normally. Then, I followed this thread and applied verygreen's method. I downloaded the MIUI rom from the miui thread, renamed it like the cm7 nightly zip ("cm_encore_full-253.zip") and put it in the root of the sd card. I put the sd card back in and booted via recovery. It installed and shut down. I turned it on again, and reached the MIUI globe thing. It was looping and stuck there for 30 minutes.
I've been thinking of trying miui.
If anybody has got.it running from SD please give the step-by-step procedure for the rest of us.
Thanks
A search would show you....

I hate to revive a dead thread, but I have been trying everything I could read or download.
I am using the Size-agnostic installer from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I am trying to flash MIUI 1.9.16 (MIUI.us_encore_1.9.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_andmer) (http://goo-inside.me/miui/encore/)
I successfully installed CM7 to this Sandisk Class4 16gig microSD. Every time I try to flash MIUI, I re-burn the size agnostic card image, copy over the cm7-renamed MIUI ROM, and boot.
The installer seems to work, just like my CM7 installs. Then, when I try to reboot, it goes back to the installer (linux penguin at the top, goes through the motions of trying to flash another rom, when not finding anything, it shuts down).
I know I am missing something simple.
Am I to install CM7, then MIUI on top of it (without reburning the card)? Am I just using an SD-incompatible ROM? For those who were successful, where did you download the ROM from?
I know I have lots of questions, I hope you guys see my effort (that I don't just want someone to give me a quick fix), and I thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards!

I'm certainly no expert, but I have flashed two different versions of MiUi to micro SD cards adn then worked fine. You do not need to do i over CM7. Like you, I prepared a clean SD and used the size agnostic procedure. I renamed the MiUi file to some that started with update-cm-
I got my MiUi file here:
http://roms.miui.us/
I used a program called SD Formatter to format the card.. then I used the 1.3 version installer. I sometimes had problems using winimage to create this sd card . You have to select the drive letter for the sd card and then use the "restore" choice on the menu.
David, thanks for your response. I had already wiped it and installed CM7, but when I saw your post, I gave MIUI one last try. I downloaded from that site, and BAM, it installed perfectly! Thanks heaps!

[Q] CWM keeps losing update file

I recently installed CM 7 to emmc after running it from sd for a year. When I first did the emmc install I used mirage 3/4 but when 7.2 was released I decided to try it. Now I want to install the new mirage kang but when I copy the file to my sd card it's not there when CWM looks for it. I wiped data and cache but every time I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2. Any thoughts?
I tried to search but not being able to search for exact phrases makes it hard to find anything.
[edit] When I get home I'll try reinstalling from the eyeballer card I made. Should I format my non-recovery sd card? I didn't need to use the eyeballer card to install 7.2. What's going on here?

Which SD did you put the mirage file on? If you were still using the SD from your SD install, it is not partitioned right to be using with CWM. CWM is expecting just a plain vanilla SD. You may have the mirage file on partition 4 which CWM cannot see.
It was the card from my sd install but I had formatted it when I originally did the emmc install. Also, I used a different card for the emmc install.
What I don't understand is how I updated to 7.2 by putting the file on the sd card and installing it from CWM but when I did the same thing to install the latest Mirage kang it didn't work. I tried toggling the signed requirement in CWM since Mirage isn't signed but it didn't make any difference. Even now that I deleted data and caches and installed Mirage from CWM card the 7.2 file is still on my main sd card and I can't delete it. Do I need to use the CWM card every time I do an update? Could TiBU be causing this?

Do you have your emmc and SD card swapped in CM? You may think you have it on SD but really have it on emmc. And CWM can't see emmc.
No, at least I didn't set it that way. I skipped that part of mr72's guide. Not only that but I tried putting a copy each on my emmc and my sd and it disappeared from the card and wasn't seen on the emmc.
I redid the whole install earlier. I'm going to try putting a Mirage file on the card now and see if CWM sees it.

OP, I've tried to help but really, I can't understand your issue, especially this: "I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2"
What else do you expect it looks for and finds?
Anyway, pls do list as much as info so we can help. I don't want to guess.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
The more info we gather, the better chance we pinpoint to your problem
update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip and update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip have different file names. When I put the Mirage file on the card CWM doesn't see it. Instead it sees the CM 7.2 RC1 file. That's why I was guessing TiBU, because normally when I flash a file it disappears from the card. I flashed CM 7.2 RC but it won't go away, even if I try to delete it. After conducting the experiment from my previous post I am wondering if my flash card is going bad. I'll do further experiments along that line today.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012; occasionally says sd card not installed or available
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
I wanted to go to update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012 which I have now accomplished
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
yes...
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
I'm not sure I understand what you want here but here's a list of what's on the CWM card: folder (.android secure), folder (Android), folder (DCIM), folder (LOST.DIR),gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip, mlo, u-boot.bin, uImage, update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip, update-encore-cwm.emmc-eyeballer.zip, uRamdisk
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
If you are referring to when I run CWM from this card it installs everything fine.When I wrote this question I was trying to flash the Mirage ROM from recovery and after I selected "install from sd" and "choose which file to install" my only choice was update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip rather than the update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip I expected to see.
Thanks for trying to help. Later today I will try copying my data sd card to another card and see if that fixes the programs saying the card is not available. If it does I will assume the other card is bad. Seem reasonable?

a. For less complicated, do just put ONE file in the root folder of your CwMR uSD card, not two. Just put the Mirage there, remove the other.
b. FYI, the latest Mirage is also CM7.2-RC1.

Ideally, it should only consist of those files that related for boot such "bold" and those flashable zip files. I don't know why those other folders gotten in there. Have this CwMR card being used on any system as storage b4?

Well, I guess I have my answer. I tried to format my 16 GB data card and it wouldn't format. Looks like card failure. Unless someone has a better idea I'm just going to order another card and chalk this up to running the OS off the card for so long. If flash memory only has a limited number of read/write cycles that must have burned through them.
Thanks votinh, leapinlar. Any other advice, suggestions, ideas on the situation will be appreciated.

Read/write cycle of the flash devices are usually high, 2000+ time, I doubt that you have burnt through.
Anyway, what tool you use to format your uSD?
---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------
If I was you, b4 purchasing another card, I would try to reformat the card and re-create its flashable CwMR.
If that didn't help, then order new one but note since you only need it for install ROM, 1GB or 2GB is more than enough.
I want at least a 16 GB card for my data and media. I have a 4 GB that I use for CWM and OS testing. I was using the 16 GB card for my OS when I was running off the card. After I installed to emmc I used the 16 GB card for data. The 16 GB is the card that I was having the problem with at the beginning of this thread. Since then I copied everything except my media onto the formatted 4 GB card and everything is running fine. I tried to format the 16 GB card using HPUSBDiskFormat but I got a message "Cannot Format". What program should I be using to format the card?
Other strange things that make me think the 16 GB card was the problem: I recently put some books on the card but they disappeared, one of my apps that is installed on the card keeps disappearing and I have to reinstall it, picture gallery keeps telling me that it can't read the sd, I can't delete files from the card either on the Nook or on my computer.
I hope it isn't the card and you guys know exactly what the deal is but after I put the 4 GB card in place of the 16 GB those problems aren't happening anymore. The final test will be to put an update file on the 4 GB card and boot to recovery. If CWM can see it I can't see how the 16 GB card isn't the problem.

I am aware of this. The fact that it wasn't working like that is the reason I started this thread.
Thanks for your help.
Now, it's a bit clearer that you have both CwM Recovery.
As I always mentioned and recommended NOT to flash CwMR into eMMC as it causes more headache than good but still many others choose to go that way and report more issue. Anyway, let's put that aside.
First step, reformat your 16GB card using MiniTools Wizard. I wish you luck there, if it can't, toss the card but if it's OK then second step, create a flashable CwMR 3.2.0.1 and put just the Mirage ROM in there.
I'm sure you know what to do.
Let us know how things go.
I may have done a dumb thing in installing CWM to the emmc but I was following a guide and didn't want to screw anything up. The reason I put off the emmc install for so long is that fear of bricking my Nook. So far so good on that front.
That tip about MiniTools is very helpful. I was sure there was something better than what I was using but I didn't know what it was. So far I'm getting very strange results when trying to format the card. The program says that the format worked but the files are still on the card. Surface test didn't show any errors. I tried to remove the old partition and create a new one but while that appeared to work there was no change on the card. I do notice that it wants to format the card in NTFS but I was under the impression that it should be FAT 32.
Is the card trashed? I can't think of anything else to try. I even flipped the lock switch and checked it. Still can't delete anything. I can't even delete a picture that I put on there.
As a last hope I tried putting the 16 GB card in my camera to see if the camera could format it. No luck. If the camera can't do anything with it the card is dead. Oh well, at least I got all my data off of it.
Votinh, do you know of any guide to removing CWM from emmc? It wasn't the problem in this case but it's not necessary. I didn't really want it but I thought that's how flashing worked on emmc. I see now that I can use ROM Manager for that.

Honestly, I chose to never flash CwMR into eMMC so I don't have much experience how to remove it, but I'm sure there is way. Will report back if I stumble across any thread about it. NOTE: having CwMR in eMMC is NOT so bad, it just gets you more headache down the road. A lot of people get it installed.
About your card, it's very itchy, ehhhh
Have you actually hit the format button or done or save whatever? and do so with FAT32, not NTFS.
It's first time I've heard the issue.
Yes, unfortunately. I hit format and then the check mark on the far left which I'm pretty sure is save. It certainly said it was doing something and that it had completed the operation successfully. All the files are still on the card though, after 2 formats, one NTFS and one FAT 32, remove and create, and 1 wipe. The files are all still showing on the card and I can't delete any or add any new.
What brand of your 16GB card is it?
I can't imagine that card was extensive damage like that.
Format many times and files still there, amazing.
The card is a Dane Electric from Newegg. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did for running the OS since it's not a SanDisk.

super noob question

hey guys, i browsed quite a while to see if there was a thread with a similar question but couldn't get a solid answer.
just got a nook color, version 1.3.0. my goal was to get [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod on it, so my first step was putting UNooter on my micro sd.
after rebooting my nook color with the unooted sd, my nook still looked stock, but there was a menu asking me to choose "Home" or "Zeam Launcher." every time i
hit my N button, i get the complete action using Home or Zeam Launcher as well. I took out the sd card, and my options are the same- did i install completely internally? Was i not supposed to UNoot at all, and just put the CM Mod zip on my sd?
not sure where to go from here- maybe make a recovery card and retry? any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks!
So you got the NC 1.3.0. First step, MAKE SURE it is the NC, not the NT.
You want to get CM7.2-RC1 KANG. OK, next step, where do you intend to run that custom ROM from? eMMC or uSD?
When you decided to run a custom ROM, there is NO NEED to root it first.
Instructions or help will follow when you provide enough info and what you try to accomplish.

thanks for the quick response! i was trying to get CM7.2-RC1 KANG on my uSD. so i can just put the cm7 file on my sd card and reboot and forget UNooter altogether? eventually i'd like to get eMMC back to stock, but i'm not really concerned about that right now.

If you are just looking to run KANG on your SD card, then just follow the directions HERE. You will need to rename the KANG zip file to update-cm- when you put it on your SD card.
That's it.
GMpower has provided the link.
Following it and you should be good to go.

In order to install CM9 on SD you need to make sure you have the newer image file so that the zip will fit on the boot partition and the duplicate gapps issue is resolved. You can get the latest image by going to my tip thread linked in my signature.
thank you!
Want to have the option to test CM9 in a separate sd card and use it whenever you like?
Grab yourself a new sd card and install the Dual Boot Rom from Racks. Then you can install his Script and put to each boot whichever Cm7 or CM9 you want.

I know its possible to install and run other Rom off an sdcard, I was just curious. Thanks in advanced if its possible or not.

No. I know dizzyden was working on a way to make that happen, but as far as I know, stock only works on emmc.
But you could put stock back on emmc and your Kang on SD.

No. Apparently there is some code in the ROM that expects it to be on emmc. It fails if on SD.

Well in answer to the original poster in this thread, I now have a way to get Stock on a verygreen SD. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item B11 in the second post of that thread. You can even have rooted stock with OC and apps2SD support.
I am still working on a method of having stock on SD while still using data on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2... I have not given up... just gotten side tracked a time or two.

Mine does that. Just had to modify the ramdisk.
Thanks for all the help and Info leap and dizzy ....ill go try it out and let you know
edit: Its been awhile since i made a sd rom....so far i have made the sdcard from This and i dont exactly understand how to do the rest of it properly, my nook color is on the cm7.2 kang build with mirage kernel and in Leap's instructions it says

So the procedure to get this working is to prepare a verygreen SD using the image file attached to my SD installation instructions thread here (generic-sdcard...). Then boot it at least once with the SD installed in the Nook so the SD can partition itself. If you have an existing verygreen SD prepared, you can skip those two steps. Copy the zip files to somewhere that recovery can find them. If you use the newest versions of CWM or TWRP recovery they can read files from emmc media storage. Boot to recovery and insert the prepared verygreen SD into the Nook. Flash the ROM zip to the SD. It will format the system and data partitions on the SD and install the ROM. Boot to the SD and the new stock ROM should load. Follow the directions to register with B&N. Once you have registered you can stop there if you are satisfied with plain stock. But be warned, if B&N decides to update to a new version in the future, it may mess up whatever you have installed on emmc. Therefore I recommend that you flash the Block Updates zip which blocks OTA updates. If you flash Manual Nooter you do not have to flash Block Updates separately since it is included in Manual Nooter. To install Block Updates, Manual Nooter or OC/apps2SD support, flash the zips to the SD with recovery just like you did the ROM. If you flash Manual Nooter, it has gapps and Market with it so you must register them with Google. And you need root if you want to the OC and apps2SD support, plus you will need a program like SetCPU to adjust the processor.
You can get the modified 1.4.3 B&N stock ROM zip here, the modified Manual Nooter zip here, the modified OC/apps2SD zip here, and the modified Block Updates zip here (all four modified for verygreen SD installation).

I have done the partitioning on the sdcard so it now has the 4 partitions in it....the nook is running CWM 3.2.0.1 emmc recovery. I've downloaded all 4 zip files, but i only plan on putting the stock nook, and manual nooter (leap says it includes the update blocker) on it

You need to update your emmc recovery to a newer version so that you can flash those zips from internal memory (emmc media). You will run into problems finding the files with 3.2.0.1 since you have to take your normal SD out and put your verygreen SD in.
So flash this zip:

Then copy the downloaded files to emmc media, boot to the new CWM and select the files from internal memory and flash them to your inserted verygreen SD.
EDIT: I just updated my instructions in my tips to make that clearer. Thanks.

Ok, ive put the bandn 1.4.3 rom zip onto the emmc of the nook color and the manuak nooter in the same place. Im running the cwm you linked and i can now select them, my questionnow is: when it says install zip from sdcard i scroll down and select the choose zip from internal and it finds both zips....after i booted to cwm i inserted the verygreen sdcard, how will i know the stock nook will flash to the sdcard and not the internal?

I have built in safeguards to make sure that won't happen. If no SD is in the slot, it won't flash, if the SD in the slot is not formated with 4 partitions, it won't flash. And when it finally does flash, it is hard coded to go to SD. Flash away. First ROM then a little later after you have registered and let it finish loading books, the manual nooter.

cool ....i dont know if its normal or not but it does seem to take forever to download the books, when i wsa using the android app it didnt seem to take as long....maybe they are just have server bugs or something?
i think after the books are done downloading then ill root it.

It took me a very long time to download the books and I have a fast connection. I think B&N just pushes them out slow for stock. Other stuff downloads fast, like once you are rooted and you download apps from play store.

hmm...now im having problems redownloading some books that started to download, but i turned the nook off when i went out to dinner and now i cant tell if the books that were downloading are actually continuing to download or not...would it be possible to download the books on the cm7.2 android app and then copy them over to the nook sd?
Brah....dang it...I messed up by accidently hitting the erase and deregister button.....it didn't seem to erase anything, but it did deregister it...would I have to remake the SD and then reflash the rom again? (Not that it is a big deal or time consuming to do lol)
