I have been running CM9 on NC SD card for a ,couple of days now. I have CM7.1 in emmc. I find CM9 to be more phone-ey but I haven't had time to truly get used to it. I attempted to backup via Rom Manager today, it dumped me into recovery, tried to install gapps, failed & shut down. Anyone have issues like this. Not stopping production, but I love my backups. Just can't get enough.

ROM Manager does not work with SD installs. If you try to use it, it tries to boot to CWM recovery to accomplish its tasks. You have no CWM recovery on an SD install. It is a special recovery script written by verygreen. That is what you see scrolling by after ROM Manager tells it to reboot.
But there is a way to put a custom CWM recovery as an alternate recovery on the SD. It has been specially modified to work with the SD installed partitions. It can back up your SD system for you. See my post here:

Thanks, I appreciate the information. You are a pal.

I did a search for 'boot recovery' and read a few thread going back to May, but none of them seem to quite fit what happened to me. If I have missed the instructions, please link to them and I'll check it out.
First the setup:
My NC is stock 1.2 on the EMMC. I then followed the instructions in the Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. The only step I cheated on was copying both update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip to the SD card after the card was imaged. The rom and gapps installed and work as intended.
Next it was my intent to install update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-063011.zip for a little speed boost. But I couldn't get it to boot into recovery with the various hold this button timings and choosing reboot from the power button options. I then went into ROM Manager and Flash ClockworkMod recovery, which flashed 3.2.01 to the EMMC. I have confirmed that by removing my CM7 SD card and successfully booting to recovery.
So now what? I would have thought the Rom Manager should have flashed the CWM recovery to the SD card, as that is what I had booted from. How can I uninstall the CWM from EMMC and force it to installed to the SD card?
Thanks,
Zhin
Did you just say up there "which flashed 3.2.01 to the EMMC"? why did you expect it "should have flashed the CWM recovery to the SD card"?
Anyway, if you want to run from uSD, then anything related to eMMC or files that have "emmc" on file name, then ignore, discard it.
In your case, after you booted into recovery (using power button, and its options), you should be all set.
I don't now what makes you went into ROM Manager and flashed it

Because I thought that when you flashed a rom to the SD card and booted off the SD card it was treated the SD card as the 'local disk'. With the EMMC just being seen as additional storage when you where running off the SD. So when I booted from the SD card and opened Rom Manager while running from the SD card, I should think it would have flashed the CWM to the SD card.

The only way I can get to recovery is to remove the SD. How can I make sure to install update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-063011.zip to the SD card? Can the SD card be put back in after booting to recovery?

When it wouldn't boot into recovery after the clean install from my OP, I started to look for other options. When I launched Rom Manager it said there was no recovery option installed.

Rom Manager is useless for SD installs; just don't run it. It's not like most Android apps that only look at filesystem names (/sdcard, /emmc, etc), it uses the hardware device names (/dev/block/...) for its manipulations and pretty much assumes an emmc install.
Having CWM on emmc isn't a problem, it won't interfere with running the stock NC software from an emmc boot. I haven't run stock in forever, I don't know what they had for a recovery boot, but there are "restore to stock" threads that will show you how to find the parts if you want to put it back.
What were you intending to do by installing CWM? The recovery that comes with the SD install is what flashes new builds for you, so you don't want to mess with it. You can install CWM on the SD as an alternate boot instead of a recovery (uAltImg and uAltRam instead of uRecImg and uRecRam) and use the u-boot that comes with recent CM7 builds to boot it if you want to play with it.

I can restore to stock easily enough. I have an image of the stock install for easy recover for just these circumstances.

The install instructions for the dalingrin kernels said they were CWM flashable. I wasn't going to get too fancy, but maybe I should look at some of the alternate boot options.
Thanks!

I accidentally did the same exact thing before I realized VG included his own recovery on the SD. From what I've read, to uninstall CMW from the emmc, you need to create a separate CMW SD and do a full restore to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
As for putting CMW on the SD, IDK. VeryGreen's method of just appending "update-" to rom file names and placing them on the root of the SD has worked for me.
I didn't say anything about using files that said emmc in the OP.

Because you were confusing as indicated in your thread, I was just suggesting eliminating anything about "emmc" if you intended to run off uSD. I did not say you did it, I just recommend it. For instance, Dalingrin OC kernel, there are several versions out there and anything with "emmc", then you should ignore them. That's all

I did the same thing and am too wondering how to remove it for warranty purposes. My Nook came w/ 1.2...does that mean 'd have to restore to stock 1.0.1 and then upgrade to 1.2?

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to install clockwork recovery on to the nook itself. I can boot it up with an sd card, but since I want to put muiu on the nook, it seems like a good idea to have recovery on the nook.
There don't seem to be any link to the latest version of cwr in the development thread, and it has been a couple of weeks since someone posted there asking for a link, but never got a reply.
I guess what I'm really looking for is a .zip of the latest clockwork recovery that I can install on the nook through the clockwork recovery I have on my sd card.
Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated!
Go to ROM manager in applications and select Flash CWM Recovery. It'll install to the emmc.

He's running off an SD card. ROM Manager only works with internal installations.
To the original poster: Once you flash CWR to the eMMC you no longer have a stock Nook for the purposes of warranty. Why not just go all the way and put CM7 on the eMMC? You can follow the directions here: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/
Make sure you choose the newest version of CWR (v3.2.0.1) when you do this!

Yeah, but CM7 on SD still has ROM Manager installed. OP wants to put CWM on the emmc. Hitting the "Flash CWM Recovery" selection in ROM Manager will put the latest CWM on their emmc. (I know it does, because I was noob enough to accidentally do it to my own Nook).
But that's what Crwly was asking about, right?
I am dual-booting CWR and CM7, both off the microSD. I used verygreen's installer to put CM7 on the microSD first, then installed racks11479's modified CWR. This does not satisfy ROM Manager, but it does let you backup, restore, and install zip packages off your 4th partition.
EDIT: Oh, and you do need another microSD to boot CWR, before you could use it to "flash" CWM SD Dualboot 0.1 to your current microSD.

Used rom manager to download and flash recovery
When I try to boot into recovery, I get tux, then statement saying B&N emmc in place and gapps installer not found then shutdown. No recovery menu option given.
I've come to the point where I've decided just to do an emmc install.
Any good guides out there for rooting a 1.2 and installing cyanogen 7.1 and market apps?

ROM Manager does not work when running CM7 on a SD card.
Ok. I have a strange problem. I am rooted, running CWM 4.0.0.4. I should have check if CMW could see the Xoom's SD card, but I fogot.
I blew away /Data and /Cache. I tried to find the SD and it cannot see the SD so I formatted a 2GB SD and put the ICS ROM on it to flash. Rebooted into CWM and it still cannot see the SD.
When I look at the Xoom's storage, it seems that Titanium Backup and ROM Manager created backup in the Xoom's default storage NOT on the SD.
Unfortunately, now when I boot into 3.1, I don't even have the Market. What are my options here? Wipe Data/Factory Reset? Re-root?
When I boot into CWM, it says ODM Fuse 1 (if that means anything). I did recover from a CWM but lost SU but still rooted. Paused for now.
Thanks for any help!
Clockwork 3.0.2.5 can see external not newer version. So get the old version back on there maybe through rom manager then wipe everything and instal kang ics nightly version. Everything works in it. If that doesn't work do it through adb. I was still rooted flashing to it. Sounds like your better off moving forward then trying to fix whatever you've got going on. Titanium stored my stuff on SD card. Your apps are primly still there. Go to preferences, folder, scan whole device. Then set filter to backed up. If you have an old nandroid you can do the whole ics instal first then click restore, advanced, data after words. Then your apps will still be there at least. Basically got to get old clockwork either through rom manager or adb flash recovery then instal ics, then try data restore.

Not true that you need to go back to that old version to get external sd support. Flash solarnz' v3.2.0.0...it supports ICS now. Just stay away from Rom Manager updates (4.0.0.4) as they don't support external sd.
UBER thanks! That worked. Now flashing ICS! Ran into Wi-fi authentication problem but a reboot should help.
I messed up my phone, erased everything on the sd card and at this point can only get into clockwork mod recovery. Try to flash a zip and says it is successful, then ends up back at clockworkmod recovery again. I am lost

Did you select partition SD card? If you did and didn't copy the contents to your PC then you are out of luck. I don't know whether there are tools that can recover from erased SD card. And which ROM you tried to flash? ICS or Gingerbread?
I was trying to flash ICS, and it said it was successful, but the same loop process back to clockwork mod. Messed with stuff I didnt know about and erased the entire sd card. Have been able to successfully flash CM, and in the process of reinstalling apps, then will back it all up again, and try to flash ics again. Wow, thought I was screwed there for while.
any tips for flashing ics, cause obviously i failed.

If you want to flash ICS ROM, you will need HBOOT blackrose and resize the partition. In addition, you will have to reformat your SD card to create a ext4 partition. You can't flash ICS ROM on stock partition. Just do some additional research and you will have Ice Cream Sandwich
Got it to work. Thanks for the help. I was scared for a while there that everything was lost.
I installed medroid. I see that you have medroid and texasice ICS. Can you have 2 roms on a phone?

I have 2 ROMs on my SD card but not 2 ROMs on the phone The Medroid v6.1 that I am using does have Texasice's work included that's why I listed Medroid and Texasice.
Blackrose and ICS are tough to get right without exact preparation. As taodan said, I would study the threads on Blackrose and ICS. I usually read the whole thread unless it has hundreds of pages. And, sometimes I still don't get it. These aren't that extensive yet. I don't know about cwm but amon_ra prompts you before you can do anything asking if you want to proceed. Cwm, when I used it didn't do that. One reason I changed.
If you get to the point where you can try Amon_Ra 2.2.1, I would give it a shot. Has been 100% bullet proof for me.
Also, I personally feel it is important to wipe System also as part of the wipe process.
Enjoy the roms--
already solved.. hehe
