B&N on SD? CM7.0.2?

I apologize in advance because I know this has been answered before (heck, I've even seen the topic, but wasn't interested until now) but there are so many threads and searching didn't lead to anything conclusive, so I thought I'd just make a new thread...
Is it possible to boot the B&N OS from an SD card? If so, is it possible to get 1.2 on there or only the 1.1 right now? I just picked up an SD card and was thinking what am I going to do with my old one, and thought I really want to check out 1.2 or even have a copy of 1.1 that's bootable while still having CM7 on my internal. Preferably, it would be unrooted, but rooted would be fine too, if it was needed.
My second question is what is the difference between CM7.0.0 to 7.0.2? I don't need specifics exactly as I know I can get that from their website, but more is it worth updating right away or waiting for 7.0.3 or above?
Thanks

I have not seen anyone try to install the stock rom on the SD. I like the idea.

I know it's possible the other way around and not sure why it wouldn't be possible this way. I think I'll have to look around more if no one knows the answer.

Yes, it is possible to boot from an SD card

I had this working on both Stock 1.1 and 1.2 (after the upgrade). Got stuck with the upgrade because I had CWR installed, but once that got taken off, the update went fine. Put the card back in, and CM7 was back!
Don't use just any micro SDHC card...I highly suggest Sandisk 8 gig class 4. You can get class 6, but anything higher than that has been reported to have issues.
To boot the stock rom, you'll need a copy...I believe that's floating around. Just check the threads.
Both 7.0.0 and 7.0.2 are "stable" releases, and I suggest unless you want to live on the edge, you use only stable. Both worked for me; you can check out the changelogs, but the major difference is simply more bug fixes as well as more capabilities (hopefully).

he meant have the stock firmware on a sd card, and keep cm7 on eMMC. i am very interested in this as well

I canhas method to run b&n from sd card pwease?

Nope, no luck on the above method (the CM7 method). I'm sure someone with knowledge of how it's done can do it, but that's not me...I'll keep looking, though, and update if I find anything.

[Q] SO confused w/ ROMs/images/kernels/uggh. Need help w/ what to do :(

My head is aching with the sheer amount of information it is trying to process. I got a Nook Color about a month ago but have been putting off using it because I am still trying to figure out how to do what I want to do.
I've been going over the threads on the dev forum and after reading a lot of the threads, I still can't find exactly what I need (or maybe I've found it but I just haven't realized it yet).
My Nook Color is running latest official update from B&N (meaning 2.2 and B&N apps).
Anyway here's what I need:
1. I need to be able to dual boot into either HC or a rooted gingerbread-based version of android (is this the clockwork 7 thing?) solely from an SD card
2. Should not do anything to the Nooks internal memory (meaning: won't void warranty)
3. The dual boot manager, HC and and gingerbread-based version of android should all run on sd card. nothing will be placed/done on the nook (is this it? i'm so confused i'm not even sure anymore --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018)
4. The dual boot manager will still have the ability to install other custom roms on to the sd card when i put the zip file of the image on to the sd card (something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957)
5. Should have the overclock thingamajig
Anyway, are there any solutions to this? the "Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb Image for SDcard" seems the closest so far but I can't figure out if it installs a rom manager into the SD card with which I can install newer versions of the overclock kernel or newer versions of the custom ROMS based on HC preview or newer version of the CM7 nightly image. gaaaah.
Please help >_<. I promise I'm not stupid. This is just like information overload and I seriously am having a real headache (not just figuratively) right now.

Follow the thread below. From it, you can install plain CM7 (the best known gingerbread rom) strictly onto your SD card. If you have multiple cards, you can try out the different flavors of CM7:
CM7 Stable (latest is 7.0.3); OR
CM7 Nightly (latest is 76); OR
Beta CM7 .32 kernel, though this one is still has some bugs.
Phiremod is a themed CM7 which I haven't tried, while the above are more plain vanilla android. Also use a Sandisk card if you have one as they seem to have better overall speed regardless of Class, at least 2gb size or bigger.

Hi LBN1, thanks for the quick reply.
Does this work process allow me to install HoneyComb as well as a separate boot option?

I just realized that I'm actually looking for an SD dual boot of HC and CM7 w/ OC. Does this exist? >.<

Oh, this process is not for a dual booting SD card. It allows a rom on a SD card, and then take out the SD card and you can boot to stock B&N software, so it is a quasi dual boot so to speak. There are some actual dual boot options out there but I don't have any experience with any of them...
Same thing with Honeycomb roms, never tried any of them since from what I read they are still in early, beta stages meaning they really don't work as well as CM7.

Hehe... yeah I kinda figured that out What I had in mind was something along the lines of dual booting HC/CM7 via SD card and removing the SD card if I wanted to boot to the stock 1.2 (so it's a quasi triple boot) >_<
But thanks for your help!

I think the easiest thing you can do right now is to try the Phiremod/Honeycomb Dual boot sd image which I see you already found out. It wont change or touch your internal system so you are safe. Also its already prepared for you so you just need to burn the img into the sd.
If inserted, the sd image will boot to either Phiremod (which is really a themed version of CM7 7.02 - with the update provided in the same thread or to Honeycomb). I use it and works quite well!!!! It is fast also (provided you use the recommended Sandisk class 4 sd card) as it is overclocked from the sd which you also want.
When I want to use stock BN I just boot without the sd and thats it! I also rooted the internal BN as well to add overclock to the stock BN 2.2 and it is quite snappy when OC to 1.1 mhz.

Hi Garoto! that's good to hear! can you point me to the thread for rooting the internal BN and adding overclock to the stock 2.2? i want to try that as well

Sure no problem:
1. To root the 1.2 version Nook just follow the steps in this thread, it is not as complicated as it sounds:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
2. To install the OC Kernel I used this thread. Pretty simple process. After you root , go to the market and install ROM manager, then do flash clockwork and then reboot to recovery, then do update from zip in sd card and flash the OC Kernel. I used the 1,1 mhz as it is stable and really speed things up:

Keep in mind, overclocking definitely technically voids the warranty (as does rooting). Since you mentioned it. Just as bad as installing stuff on the internal EMMC.

A Couple of Questions Please if I May :D

First of all, really big KUDOS MUCHACHOS to the CM7 Dev guys! I had already donated a pretty hefty amount due to using CM7 so much on my Evo but I donated again cuz this is awesome! I do have a couple of questions tho, which I can't fine answers to. I did search for them but really had no luck. The NC community is not yet as organized as the EVO one, I am getting conflicting information and in general having a really ***** of a time finding anything so sorry if some of this has been answered(Im sure that's likely the case at least for some of them).
I used the size-agnostic SD card thing to make the SD Card i had into a CM7 install. Running the latest stable(as of 2 days ago). But thing of moving it all to internal memory. So here are my questions.
1: If I do this, will I be able to still access the real NC OS that shipped with the device? The Nook for Android app sucks, it won't play several of the books I already got(says they are invalid format when I try to DL them) so it is imperative to me that I keep access to the NC OS i have now(but I wouldn't care if it were on the SD card as long as it worked for reading books).
2: What will CM7 be like if I do this? I am gonna assume it won't take so long to boot anymore? Will it basically be a giant phone? Full access to the SD card? Still able to use the internal memory as storage(I use it to store music now)? Work exactly like my Evo does now? Except that it won't make calls of course.
3: Rooting. It seems that so many people are running CM7 that the guides/walkthroughs on rooting are hard to find. So a simple question or two pls Which method should I use? What, if any, are the drawbacks? I would still run CM7 most of the time but while in NC OS to read or something it would be nice to have access to android market etc as long as it wont effect my install of CM7.
4: CM7 nightlies. Can I run them from the SD card as well? If so can I just flash them right over my current SD card install without losing everything?
5: Can i run the OC Kernal while running CM7 from the SD card or do I have to run on Internal Memory for that to be possible?
Thanks for taking the time to read this pls answer any questions that you can I'd appreciate it so much!

I'll answer what I can.
1: Nope, stock ROM is replaced when you install CM7 to emmc. No way around it.
2: I'll have to defer on this one, I've always run from SD card. BTW, you are running from a class 2 card, right? The "faster" cards have serious issues.
3: My understanding is that you have to use ManualNooter for B&N 1.2. I haven't gotten around to rooting it since I upgraded to 1.2, but it was painless on the earlier ROM. There were no drawbacks, besides the fact that it's not CM7. ;-)
4: Yup, they just flash right over just as long as your following verygreen's instructions.
5: Yup, OC from SD works fine.

I don't know the specs on my SD card, it's whatever came with my EVO. I upgraded to a 32gb on the EVO so I used the old one for the Nook. My Evo is only a couple months old if that helps ya.

[Q] new and don't know where to start

Ok My wife bought me a nook color and I'd like to make it into a tablet. I found a video on youtube that has it running cm7 on a micro SD card but then then runs the stock NC software so as to not void the warranty.
I've tried reading the nook devs, and multiple how to's but feel a bit lost. Can someone point me to
1) step by step instructions even an idiot can follow
2) a link to the different mods and how they are different
3) where these mods are found.
I'd like a way to do this using free software. One place i found to just buy the mod on an SD card and just install it. One other place gave some instruction but needed software that had to be bought (unzippers or something along that line).
thanks for any information I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed..

I started my NC journey by reading some good, but outdated, guide on how to do root and flash custom ROM to the NC. It took me some time to find the correct program to use.
manualnooter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
This post has a rather detailed instruction. Note that you will be installing a custom ROM onto NC and will void warranty... but you can also flash the stock ROM back to the NC in case you need to use that warranty so you don't really lose much.
I forgot which ROM the manualnooter procedure would install, but I think the current most popular and stable ROM is cyanogenmod 7.
Unfortunately the entire procedure will take beginners more than 10 hours to have a grasp on how to do things and maybe poking around and see why some things work that way.

Welcome!
I've personally installed CM7 to emmc (internal memory) using these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11452450&postcount=19
I was also using the microSD card method, and the steps below are good to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I would recommend using the latest nightly vs a labeled "stable" release. The nightlies have a lot of improvements and are in fact very stable these days. The only thing you'll need is a microSD card, a card reader, and a little bit of patience. It's really not hard, but just make sure to follow all of the steps. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask or search previous threads

I was considering a nightly build.. the nightly builds I need to find the encore build right? (wonder why we call these units encore). Secondly I was wondering if theres an option out there that allows a plain version of gingerbread without the cm7 markation all over the place. Is there functionality in the CM7 builds that I wouldn't get with a pure gingerbread build?

Yeah - encore is the codename for the Nook Color. I think it came from the initials NC....encore. You can always find them at
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
I'm actually not sure if there is a pure gingerbread rom out there. CM7 is based on the official release of GB, and adds some nice things for the nook -- one big one is the honeycomb style soft keys at the bottom since the NC doesn't have the normal android hardware keys.

For newbie, I strongly recommend installing and running CM7 off the uSD first.
Play with it for a while, get used to it, familiar with it while spending more time reading threads/posts in here then thinking about switching it to eMMC or rooted NC later.
Installing and running off uSD are much more simple and easier.
The requirement is: a good (SanDisk class 4 reported as very good) uSD, 8GB or 16GB.
Then follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

Cyanogen has this quirky little tradition of naming the software release after the original code name of the device. The Nook Color was code named "Project Encore" (http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/10/nook-color-likely-dropping-this-week-image-leaked/) by the developers, so the NC is the Encore in CM7. (Similarly, my old Motorola Cliq is called "Morrison" and my T-Mobile G2 is called "Vision")
And Stock Gingerbread doesn't have a number of things which are very useful for Tablets, such as the taskbar "soft buttons" for back, search, home, and menu, as well as the ability to put the taskbar on the bottom, and adjust the lock screen as you see fit. CM7 has all of these, plus the ever popular "much, much more!" The CM7 developers and mods have really outdone themselves and made the Nook Color a massively useful device.

+1 This.
Follow the instructions in that link and you should have a working microSD CM7 installation. 3 things to add to those instructions though:
1.) Try using Win32DiskImager instead of WinImage. People have had problems writing the image with WinImage. The only problem I've seen reported with Win32DiskImager is that sometimes you cannot create a good usable image of a disk greater than 4GB.
2.) If you are looking for a good usable card, get this one. It includes a good USB microSD reader to use when writing the image.
3.) This one is optional. The default SD card image writes an approximately 120MB boot partition to the microSD. With the latest nightly releases of CM7 you can run into issues if you are trying to install both CM7 and gapps at the same time. It is recommended to resize the initial partition upwards in size. Some folks put it over a GB but in my mind a few hundred MB should be fine. The most popular tool to do this with is EASUS Partition Master. I haven't personally done this since it is something that has to be done before the initial install and I had mine up and running before running into this problem.

oI bought a microSD from merit line. Its an ADATA BRAND 16GB CLASS 10. it had good reviews and some places I read to stay with above a class 6 or better. I hope this doesn't cause a problem or my wife will be upset... LOL
I was watching a video on youtube about this process and they mentioned not having all the memory on the microSD available due to the partitions. they used the same partition manager to maximize the storage on the card. Will this be needed or does something happen automatically to use make all the uSD card usable?

With that brand, with that speed, keep all of your fingers crossed and prayed.
And after few weeks of enjoy the CM7, if you start seeing weird things, you then can start blaming the uSD.

does it matter what version software i start with? I've been reading around and see everything from making sure that your on 1.0.1 to 1.3? I'm lost?
Also since I'm wanting to do this all on the MicroSD then this may not be an issue but I've heard some say also to log on first and make sure I sign in with barnes and noble before doing anything. is that important or not?
Lastly. does rooting or anything leave a permanent record in turn voiding warranty or can it be taken back so the factory doesn't know.

Rooting does not leave any records. All you need is to return to factory stock before sending in for warranty

ok I've tried the version 1.3 over and over and each time I get the same problem. after reboot it comes to the blue android on a skateboard it it just keeps running in circles. it will go black occasionally but then right back to the android on the skate board.. what might I have done wrong?
I used the installer in verygreens 1.3 posts and cm_encore_full-209 nightly build

Lets test that card and make sure it's gonna work. Go here and get Crystal Disk Mark. Install it and plug your microSD card into your computer. Run the default tests and post them here. We're looking for the 4k read/write speeds in particular. If they aren't around 1.0 then you're likely to have a problem running CM7 off the card.
My suspicion is that since its a Class 10 card it's optimized for large block writes and not small block writes. Card manufacturers will trade off small block write speed to get the higher class ratings instead of going for overall speed. SanDisk seems to be the exception to this in that they do not tweak their cards to get the high speeds which why they're the recommended card for SD install of CM7.

[Q] Nook color need help with cm* install

Hi,
I just bought a nook color. I'm trying to install nightly cm9 on it. i have been reading and i have some questions .. please help i don't wanna turn my new nook into paperweight lol. I understand i need to make a bootable sd card with CWR on it. i understand there are newer version CWR out there now but I am only able to find 4gb version of 3.0.2.8. Will that cause a problem ? Do i have to use 4gb version CWR? I can find 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 ( i have a 4g micro sd card ). About wiping, i know with android phones you always wipe before you flash roms but i have been reading, posts suggest to wipe cach and dalvik AFTER flashing cm and gapps. Is that the correct order to wipe? [GUIDE] Install CM7 or CM9(!) + Clockworkmod to EMMC - ALL NOOKS! (Updated:1/16/12) - xda-developers This post don't even mention wiping dalvik. So what exactly should i wipe and in what order? Also in that post it says after you flash, without rebooting you are to remove sd card and format it on a computer... since its a bootable CRW, the nook color doesnt even have the recovery on it , will removing the sd just cause it to crush ? Please help ~ Thank you.

Best advice is to go to the "development forum" and read the CM9/ICS nightly thread.Everything you need is in the first post.I would suggest you test your SD card with CrystalDiskMark 3.0(free program,google it up)first to see if it is suitable for a ROM install.
See the SD card strange thread in this forum first.

Don't worry too much about bricking your Nook Color. It is pretty much impossible to get it in a state which you can't recover from as it has priority on booting from the SD card.
That's not say you shouldn't try to get it right to avoid any hassle.
For an internal install use the Eyeballer SD clockwork recovery method as detailed in the development forum. When you image this to an SD then you always end up with a 1GB partition on the card irrespective of the real SD size. Don't worry about that as this is just a staging post and you just need space to put on the zips you want to install.
For CM9 use the "unofficial" nightly builds and put the main ROM, Gapps, and the telephony permissions fix on.
When you boot from this card you will be in Clockwork recovery. First time you want to format system, data, and cache then install ROM, Gapps and telephony fix in that order.
After that you want to put in a cleanly formatted single partition SD card, either by reformatting partitioning the installation one or a different one if you wanted to keep the original. It won't crash but some apps expect the Sd card to be present.
Once rebooted then you should be in CM9. You can install clockwork recovery to the internal memory as well by using the ROM Manager app. This means that if you reboot with the N key held down you get into a boot menu and can choose to go into recovery. That is very convenient for subsequent updates as you can just copy zips onto the SD card via USB or Wifi without having to remove the card (ES File Explorr app helps a lot here).
For small updates you can normally just format system and cache then reapply the set of zips. This will leave your set up and installed apps alone. You don't need to do Dalvik separately as it is in the cache partition.

Thanks and what is the "telephony permission fix" ?

Found the telephony fix thanks

A bit of unsolicited advice: if you are having these kinds of problems, then I suggest CM9 is not baked enough for you, and you may be much better off with a far more stable and better-documented CM7.x install. I am not being condescending... I myself am quite capable of extreme hacking and tolerant of an array of stability issues, being a Linux software engineer, but I just don't have the time or energy to put into making CM9 work right now, given the quantity of issues. For the hardcore Android hobbyist, CM9 is the way to go right now. For a NC user wanting a functional Android tablet, I say wait a little bit.

You might consider simply using the SD card boot ROM's, and leaving the internal Nook alone for the present. That would allow you to try out the various Rom's available and find one that works best for you. I'm currently running CM7.2 Kang on my emmc partition, but booting on SD card from the CM9 nightly builds. The CM7.2 Kang is quite stable, but not as much fun as the alpha ICS CM9 stuff. Best of both worlds.

I already have cm7 on my phone , hopefully its not gonna be the same thing lol . i was hoping to put cm9 on there so it will entertain me for a while but if its really that buggy mb i will consider just running on cm7.

Thanks. I already have bobzhome 7.2 on my phone. The reason why i wanna cm* on my nook is because i don't read(i read enough for school XD ) haha so the nook factory rom will be kinda pointless for me. Also just booting from sd and flashing roms seem really straight forward to me so that's why i want to flash cm* on internal memory. As im not that knowledgeble about nook colors, running on a bootable rom still seem complicated for me but i sure will think about it .

You might consider simply using the SD card boot ROM's, and leaving the internal Nook alone for the present. That would allow you to try out the various Rom's available and find one that works best for you. I'm currently running CM7.2 Kang on my emmc partition, but booting on SD card from the CM9 nightly builds. The CM7.2 Kang is quite stable, but not as much fun as the alpha ICS CM9 stuff. Best of both worlds.

How many places you going to ask this?
It is a false positive.
Normal? No. Crappy antivirus? Yes.
As long as you are downloading from links from the developers here you're safe.

just making sure since im not very knowledge about nook colors. i rather ask more than do something stupid on my device and cause myself problems.

No problem. Just noticed it was in a separate thread already.

Please post what A/V you are talking about so others having the same issue will take note.
I'll also give a +1 to the people who suggested that you work off an SD card until you are really comfortable with the process. You can always recover your Nook, but why go through that hassle when the SD card is so easy.
Just my $.02

Dual booting SD
I agree with try the Dual boot off the SD card to see what you like. Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957Verygreens process was simple to follow and I am newer at rooting also. Cheers.

I posted what a/v already. its kaspersky internet security. i guess i never look into running off SD. I don't read much so i just don't need nook color stock ROM, i guess that's also part of why i wanna run on internal memory. oh and i bought a refurbished nook color from BNs website and it came defective. part of the screen didn't work. To those who wanna buy it from them i suggest to buy from a retail store so u don't have to pay shipping and waste time I think all they did was a factory restore on a return and sell it again for 149.

Im gonna buy a new nook color and i read that newer ones have different hardware. newer hardware aren't supported by CM7. I guess I'll have to try a nightly CM9 build.

will CM7 work on a new nook color? i have read that it doesn't have some needed drivers.

A bit of unsolicited advice: if you are having these kinds of problems, then I suggest CM9 is not baked enough for you, and you may be much better off with a far more stable and better-documented CM7.x install.

I just bought my nook color Dec. 30th, 2011 and I have ran cm7 as well as cm9. Like the others are saying, set up cm7 off of a SD card until you learn what you are doing then consider moving to the emmc.

I believe that is CM9, not 7 that was having issues with the new nook color touch screen drivers.
