Hi,
Having a with a Nook where it will not complete boot of CM7 which is installed on an SD card. Instead it boots into the Nook Color software.
I hold down the power button till I see the green Cyanogenmod logo with the Loading text, which I think means it is booting from the SD card (I can get it to boot into CM recover), then the screen goes blank and something goes wrong and the boot process continous with the 'n' screen and eventually loads the Nook boot animation and ends with the Nook software loaded. The nook software seems to be running fine except I can't get the SD card to boot all the way.
I've tried 2 known good SD cards, which boot without problems on my second nook, so I know it is not the SD card. I suspect something got corrupted with the boot process files, so I have been trying to find a way to overwrite the existing files with a virgin copy.
1) Can't get ADB running, I suspect the ADB route is only possible if I have the nook booting in a rooted CM7 in the first place (if some one could confirm that would help)
2) I have tried the x8 boot fail reset as well as the erase and deregister option in the nook software with no change in the above behaviour.
3) My last hope is to do an update back to stock using the recovery mode of the SD card. I can copy an updater file to the small partition of the SD card that is visible on Windows. I found a 1.2 stock updater, but it is ~200MB which is too big to fit on the SD card. If someone could point me to a smaller updater or a sd image with CWM and >200MB space that would be very helpful. TY!
What exactly are you trying to do? If you are just trying to set up dual-boot of CM off of your SD card, you don't need to do anything to the stock B&N internal install. I've had good luck using the procedure in the [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards thread.
Are you sure the initial CM install on your SD card went well? It's known to be very particular (see top of that thread) about what SD cards work. The first few times I tried, I didn't realize there were error when CM was initially extracted which led to similar failures. From what you've described, the SD setup is failing. Normally, you don't need to worry too much about what's on the internal emmc setup of the Nook Color.

Hi bobsto, some background. I've been using CM7 on a microSD for several weeks now. I dual boot between Nook SW and CM7 that way. I've been using the link you posted above to create the SD cards and so far I have not had to touch the eMMC files at all.
Then a friend messed around with the Nook I gave them with CM7 on an SD card. I don't what the friend did, but when I got the Nook back it would not boot into CM7. I pulled my SD card from my working Nook and it wouldn't work either. So I'm guessing someone screwed with the Nook internal files. So I am trying the factory restore of the Nook SW to see if that will fix the problem and allow me to load CM7 from the SD card again. Interestingly Nookie will boot from SD and CM7 won't. Still trying stuff to see what will fix the problem. Suggestions are welcome.

Gosh, I wish someone could figure this out.
I restored original stock after a full CM7 root and it went fine but I can NOT get a dual boot sd card to work.
It seems to install but when I reboot it shows CM7 screen briefly then always boots to Nook OS.
Tried many many different cards and image writers and CM7's and even a card from my other Nook which I know works.
It will not boot into the CM7 from the SDcard.
Any help?

I made a 32gb CM7 sdcard.
Still wish I could have got the size-agnostic card to work, it bugs me when I can't figure stuff out.

I'm in the same boat, but after 1 day of research and trial and error I'm happy it works. Maybe someone smarter will see this and know the answer and solve my problem curiousity.

Hi,
I've ran into a snag that I can't seem to figure out, my nookcolor boots normally but does not boot from uSD. In the past I've always been able to find answers by searching but this time, nothing I've tried has worked. I've been using phiremod on the nook for quite a while and recently updated to v6.1.
The first time I rooted the NC, I used a uSD with autonooter 3.0 and everything worked great. Flashed to phiremod 5.2 and have been using CWR off of the emmc to update versions.
Today, I decided to try a new rom and wanted to start fresh with a stock 1.1. I popped in the CWR sdcard I had from a while back and it didn't work, the NC boots normally in to phiremod.
After remaking a bootable CWR sdcard several times and failing, I thought it might be a corrupted boot partition. So I successfully reimaged the boot and system partitions via ADB and I was back to stock. I thought I was good to go except what I've got now is a stock NC that does not boot from the uSD.
I've tried 3 different perfectly good uSDcards with autonooter, monster's rootpack, CWR sdcards, nookie-froyo sdcards... nothing works. Failbooting 8 times causes the NC to reupdate itself to 1.1.
Has anybody encountered this before or some devs can shed some light why it does not boot from uSD? Any help is appreciated.
Edit: N+power causes the NC to do a Factory Reset. Done this twice already.
TC
This might work....
Look, I'm no expert at uSD's, but try this. Maybe your Nook thinks the sd card is an emmc partition. Try holding down the home button while booting? Like, hold the button and then power on. I hope it works for you. I know the pain as I have had many issues, too.

My guess is the SD Card is not mounted, try going into the settings and make sure the card is mounted. You may want to unmount it, and then format it. Then unmount it, remove it and then reinstall cwr onto the sd card again. If that doesn't work, try another sdcard. If that doesn't work it could be a hardware issue... it could also be an issue with your card reader, they have been known to break at inopportune times, try a different card reader.

+1 to the card reader issue. I have a perfect working cm7 build on my nook now, but it took some trial and error. The card reader on my computer looked like it was working fine, but when I would put the card into the nook it wouldn't boot to it. I finally did the same steps with the same card only this time using my phone (tp2) as the card reader plugged into my computer and it worked great.
It definitely was the card reader. Tried a different one and it booted just fine..
As a SDET by profession, it makes me sad I didn't think of this.
Thanks all.
Linux Issue
I know this is rather an old thread, but just in case someone has this problem and is running Linux (I'm running Ubuntu) here is what happened to me. After dd'ing the CWR image several times, I could not get the NC to boot to the sd card. I tried multiple cards and multiple readers, no joy. I thought perhaps something was wrong so I looked at the card in gparted. What I found there was that there was a 1mb of unallocated partition space before the CWR partition. I used gparted to move the partition to be at 0 position and it booted up like a charm.
Don't know if I was doing something wrong the command I used was
Code:
sudo dd if=2gb_clockwork-3.0.1.0.img of=/dev/sdd1 bs=1M
At any rate, if any other linux users run into this, that's how I fixed it.

Yeah, the problem is you put it on the first partition rather than the card itself. Note the instructions in the forum say device of card. ie: /dev/sdd
I also had an issue where I could create the SD card, and the Nook could see it, but it wouldn't boot from it. It turns out this was because I was using the internal card reader in my laptop to write the card. Once I switched to an external USB card reader, the Nook booted from the card just fine.
I've just come across the same problem.
I started two days ago with this: [ROMS]NEW! Dualboot Mirage CM7 / ICS CM9 Image for SDcard.
I liked ICS so much, I asked the developer how could I just stick with CM9?
He pointed me to this tutorial: Installing CM9 on Nook Color microSD.
It seems as though all the steps are going fine, up until step#10, where I am supposed to reboot INTO a freshly installed nightly.
I have Ubuntu 11.10 reliably running in VirtualBox. Plenty of memory and space.
I run GParted and view the partitions, and they are as expected.
I know Ubutu well enough to follow well-written directions.
The sdcard in my Nook is properly mounted - I think.
After reading this thread, I went to Amazing and bought a new SD card reader.
OH, and all this has been done on a new SD card, 8GB, class 4.
Hopefully it is due to an aging card reader. I'll get the new one in a couple of days and report back.
I really hope that's it!

Rather than a card reader, I use Kingston uSD usb stick adapters for my uSD card writing, and they've worked flawlessly. Just an option , if your new card reader doesn't solve your problem. The adapters were "dirt cheap".

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.

Going by that name, you were doing a CM install to SD. If you'd completed that process, it would have made use of the rest of your SD card.

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.

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.

Touchscreen Problems
Hello,
I have tried doing this several times, and I get no response from the touchscreen. Everything else works perfectly, but the touchscreen won't respond.
Please help.
Update on Touchscreen Issue
CM7 works fine off the 8GB. Is there something different you have to do to get the 32 to work?

****BRAND NEW NOOK COLORS (Dec 2011+/Jan 2012+ are now shipping with a different touchscreen/digitizer (same as used in the nook tablet). As of now this driver is not included in CM7, you are welcome to try to flash CM7, if your touchscreen is unresponsive, restore to stock or flash CM9. CM9 will work as the driver is included.***
It appears that 7.1 works, as well as the most recent nightly from Nov.
Hi, so I've tried everything I can think of to restore my Nook to the stock 1.4.1 but nothing has worked and I've given up before I break anything else...
This all started when I was trying to install the CM7.2/CM9 dual boot from SD card - I burned the image to the SD card and booted but the device just hanged at a black screen (for a lot longer than it should have) after the CM "loading" startup screen.. I tried removing the SD card after holding the power button to turn it off but it then refused to boot to the EMMC stock OS... Somehow (I've only ever used SD card CM ROM's) an old CWM install (v.3.0.2 or something) was installed on the internal memory that booted when I tried to launch a factory reset (Power + N + vol+).
I then followed an older guide to restore to stock by formatting the /system and /data and installing a .zip from sd card (the nookcolor_1_4_1_signed.zip) but it failed with a (bad) error....
Now I don't know what to do. The device now hangs at "Read Forever" and the internal CWM is gone, as well as everything else I'm assuming... It will boot into CWM if it's installed on an SD card, but without that it will just reboot into Read Forever when I try to turn it off...
An aside, but now that I've checked with external CWM again, it appears there is now a "/system1, /system2, /data1, and /data2" file on the EMMC...
TL;DR: How do I restore Nook Color to stock 1.4.1 from CWM installed on an external SD card without flagging a "(bad)" error with the install?
Thank you for any help and I hope I haven't bricked this device... Hopefully this is just a case of ignorance on my part
EDIT: I've tried re-downloading the 1.4.1 and even a 1.2 signed ROM with out success. I haven't rooted the device, but I do not know how the internal CWM got there, as well as the fact that the external SD dual boot didn't work.. I'm using a new SanDisk Ultra 16GB SDHC Class 10 card if it makes a difference..
Could not having rooted the Nook be the only cause?
I had successfully dual booted the CM7.2 and CM9 for months until my old 16GB card broke... This was the new card I bought last week and it's been nothing but problems, exacerbated by myself, probably :/

Easy solution. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM card per item A10. Then flash my format 567 zip. Then go to item A15 and download my 1.4.3 stock ROM and flash that. Boot up, register and you are golden.
If you want to put a ROM on SD go to my updated SD instruction thread also in my signature.

Thanks! I'll try that right when I get home..
EDIT - Awesome - It works! The dual boot card also works!
EDIT 2 - so... booting from the SD card still doesn't work... It just hangs at the Cyanogen7 boot video looping over and over (left to go to the store, got back and it was still looping)... holding power button down just resets the device while the SD card is in, doesn't actually shut down for more than 4 seconds or so....
Should I post this as a new thread? I'll try searching for anybody else having this problem in the mean time...

Are you using Racks' dual boot SD? If so, how recent is it? You might want to go to his special CWM and clear dalvik cache and try rebooting again.

Yeah, I used the Dual Boot image I downloaded a couple days ago from Techerrata (I used the one at the top of the list that had the most downloads, connection I'm on is blocking Techerrata so I can't get the exact name ATM) with burned with Win32DiskImager, popped in the card and turned on but it just hangs. I'll try clearing the dalvik cache with his CWM image and see if it fixes anything..
EDIT - Ok, I tried clearing the cache, but it gives me the following error:
E:unkown volume path [/data]
I checked the Mounts and Storage Menu, and it looks like I still have "/system1, /system2, /data1, and /data2" directories, did the 567 format.zip not take care of whatever file structure or partition these were kept on in the EMMC?

The format 567 zip was for clearing the partitions on internal memory (emmc). Those partitions you are looking at are on the SD card (system1, etc).
You might just try clearing cache with his cwm rather than dalvik cache. You also might get a better response posting your dual boot question on the dual boot thread. I don't know a lot about the dual boot.

Sounds good, I'll try that. Thanks again for all the help, though!
One thing to note... the initial boot does take a while and sits on a black screen while the cache image and formatted. Racks has put that into the dual boots with loop mounting so each bootable system will have its own cache space and avoid overwriting cache data from nother ROM.

Good to know, but should it really take more than 90 minutes to initially boot? I let it boot up to CM7 on a freshly burned Class 10 card and left for the store, when I got back it was still at the boot video, watched it for another 5 minutes and it still didn't do anything... I don't really know what the problem is, could it be the card?
I have seen it take up to10 minutes, but 90 is definately excessive... I would suspect the card being the issue... class 10 cards are not good for running any operating system from. While they have exceptional sustained read/write speeds... they (generally) have poor random small read/write speeds, and this is the types of files used by an operating system.

Oh.. ok, well good to know! I'll pick up a different card today and see if that will work.
I got the Mirage 7.2 to work, by writing the "generic_sd.img" to the card, the coping the .zip download to the boot partition (renaming it to "update-cm7-mirage.zip" so the generic loader would see it)...
I inserted the card, booted, and Tux showed up and it ran through partitioning the card, expanding the mirage zip, and shutting down. However, when I turned it back on, it showed the Cyanogen mod bootloader, and I selected "SD Normal" but Tux showed up again and it went through trying to partition again (which it said was not needed, so it skipped) and finding an update- / .zip file (which it deleted when it expanded it before), same with the SD recovery boot option... Should I just try a new card?
EDIT - So, I was sick of messing with SD card booting, and realized I really don't care if I have the stock OS on it anymore since my warranty is about to run out anyway, I just rooted it an installed Mirage 7.2 and it works! Thanks for the help with the SD Card problems, though!
Hi,
Recently cm7 crashed on me when I installed a theme that ADW didn't agree with. In the end I had to format my card, and my nook.
I'm using a Sandisk class 4 16gb microsd. Please note, I'm just dual booting. Not rooting.
I've tried to recreate the card but I keep running into the same problem. Here's the steps I'm using, and result that I keep getting.
1) I format the card to FAT32.
2) I use win32 diskimager to write generic-sd-v1.3.img to the sd. Eject the card, reinsert it, Then I copy the cm7.2 .zip and the gapps.zip onto the card.
3) I power my nook down completely, insert the card, and reboot.
What happens is, it installs cm7 onto the card and powers itself down just like it should. When I power it back up it boots into the stock rom.
What's happening and how can I fix it?

Go to my updated NC guide linked in my signature. I updated the image file (rev6) to work better. It still works fine on CM7.
