Have been running cm7 7.03 for quite some time originally installed using verygreens method with sd card cm7 installer 1.2. Decided I wanted to update to cm7 7.2 so thought I would update verygreens installer to 1.3 before updating to new version of cm7. Put update-genimage-1.3.zip on boot of sd card booted to recovery installed file and it appeared to install correctly rebooted and now I am stuck on Loading ... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not install that zip that way. You have to unzip it to the .img file and burn to the SD with win32diskimager like you did the first time.

Thanks for the info. I was following instructions that indicated that I could put the update-genimage-1.3.zip on the boot portion of the sd and apply the update through cwm. I did not want to reimage my sd card as I have allot of information on it.

ok, don't know why it got stuck then. You used CWM recovery on emmc to flash it? The recovery script on SD would not install it properly.
Yes, that's correct. Now when I put the sd card in I just get stuck on screen that says loading and I have to take the card out to boot back into the nook software. I did make a backup of my emmc with cwm before I started this but I am unable to get into recovery at this time. I am not sure what my next steps should be. Start the process over with another sd card and then try and salvage the info on my original sd.

I just read the instructions in thread and you do not use CWM recovery on emmc to flash that file. You are supposed to use the verygreen recovery script that is on the SD. By using CWM on emmc, you flashed the new recovery files to emmc and replaced CWM. That's why you can't get back in it. I think you can recover by putting the update- zip back in the root partition of the SD and trying to boot to the SD recovery. Then when you have got your SD repaired and flashed 7.2, you can reinstall CWM to emmc with ROM Manager.

I can certainly try that but I am now confused on which update.zip file to put on the boot portion of the sd to hopefully fix my sd card. Thanks for your help.

If you have one of the newer u-boot.bin files... you hit "n" when booting up and select SD card... Recovery... that will be verygreen's recovery mode.
If you still have the original u-boot.bin from genimage 1.2 (not very likely at all... since CM7 has had new u-boot.bin's for a while now) you would have to use the old timing method of power + n for about 5 seconds.
When I try holding the n key the screen comes back with Loading ... but never moves past that screen. Actually the nook will not boot at all when the sd card is in even if I do not hold down the n key it goes right to the Loading ... screen and just hangs there. If I shut it down and remove the card it boots into the nook operating system fine. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I have attached a file to the board. Download and unrar this file. There should be 4 files there. Take your SD card out and put in your PC. Copy these files to the boot partition, overwriting the files that are there. Take the update-geniimg1.3...zip out and put the update- ...7.2 ...zip in. Then put the card back in the nook. Boot and while booting hold the n key. A boot menu should come up. Choose SD and recovery and continue booting. It should install cm7.2 and you are done. When in CM7, use ROM Manager to reinstall CWM to emmc.
EDit: I added a second file. Unrar and add these two files to the boot partition too.
Edit 2: Files removed after user successfully repaired SD
Transferred the files and did the update everything is running great. Thank you so much for your help it is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
My nook has been updated to 1.2 and i was also booting from sd using the BT - CM7 2gb image that i wrote to a 16gb class 6 sd, as this was suppose to be the work around to be able to boot cm7 from a 16gb sd. It was working fine, until i read that you could install phiremod on the sd card. I downloaded the phiremod update file and installed clockwork recovery on sd by replacing 3 file : boot file and 2 others. I managed to get into clockwork recovery and loaded the phiremod update file on the 4th partition and ran the update. once rebooted it just got stuck at ANDROID_ screen. So i then downloaded the latest stable cm7 update file and loaded it into 4th partition of the sd and installed it, hoping to fix my cm7 on the sd card. To my horror i then discovered that it has wiped my original Nook 1.2 software and installed cm7 on the Nook's internal memory EMMC. But when i boot now it from EMMC, it just gets stuck at the cynogen cm7 screen with the arrow going round forever. I have now reflashed my sd card and so i can boot from the sd card on bt cm7 2gb img and also replaced the boot file to get the clockwork recovery from sd. How do i go about restoring my Nook back to 1.2? and also how do i update my sd to the latest cm7 built. I hope i haven't wiped my nook's important files as i haven't backed up, i didn't think i needed to as i was booting from sd card.
Thanks, Any help would be appreciated.
I followed [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards and got to the installation of GApps. When I reboot the nook into recovery, it doesn't work(both through the key button combos and through the reboot into recovery option once its booted up)
Has anyone else had this issue? I've tried it several times and even with the OC kernels I can never get it into recovery.
Sorry i would have posted this in the dev section but I am fairly new.
Thanks,

If all else fails add a boot menu. It couldn't hurt anything.
Open the attached file and copy the uboot.bin onto the boot partition of your sd card AFTER BACKING UP THE UBOOT FILE THAT YOU FIND THERE. You will now have a boot menu that will let you choose to boot sd to recovery. It will be overwritten any time you flash but you can always reinstall it AFTER BACKING UP THE FILE ALREADY ON THE CARD. After you're done installing you can either leave the menu uboot in place or replace it with the original file that you backed up. So far it hasn't caused me any problems during installations.
Thanks j4mm3r for the super handy piece of code.

I frequently have the same issue. The combination and timing that I found to work most of the time is below. This is when first using the CM7 SDCard image. If your device already boots with the green CM logo then this doesn't apply.
Press and hold the 'n' key
Press and hold the power key
Wait for Loading... to appear (or whatever it says in your version)
Count to 3 and release the power key
Count to 3 and release the 'n' key
Wait for the Linux Penguin to appear

Maybe you can help me out with this:
I am using the boot menu program.
My NC currently has 7.0.3-encore-signed and I tried to do an update to one of the newer nightlies.
I placed the cm zip file in the boot directory on the sd card and then on the boot menu selected sd and recovery but all it does is hang. Am I doing something wrong? I really would like to update to the new 7.1.0-RC1-encore-signed.
What i found out was that the installer v1.3 has an issue when using the 7.0.3 stable release. I instead restarted the process but installed the latest nightly and now i can use recovery fine to install gapps and newer nightlies.
Thanks for the help though.
If you need to install gapps, just put the gapps file with the Rom image and it will be install at the same time. you don't need to boot into recovery again. Btw, Im using the installer v1.3 and 7.0.3 stable release after a long time playing with nightly builds. Since 136 build, it can't boot from sdcard anymore.
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.

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

Here's the situation
I bought a rooted nook color ( bnrv200) which has a version of CM7 on it already.
I want to erase the current version and load a completely fresh install myself ( my first time by the way.)
I followed this video to the letter and had no problems with the process youtube com/watch?v=88qRbLLEAPQ[/url] all seems to go well.
Here is the process if you don't want to watch the vid:
put Clockworkmod 4g_clockwork-3.0.2.8 img on SD card
put CM7.2 zip on sd card
put google apps gapps-gb-20110307-signed on sd card
put sd card in nook color boot
format system/data/cache.
install CM7 from sd card all goes fine
install gapps from sd card all goes fine
choose "reboot system now"
reboots to OLD install !!!
BUT when I reboot the OLD install is still there. I have formatted everything possible and have no idea what I am doing wrong??

You are probably using too old of a CWM. The older versions do not wipe the newer nooks properly. You can get the latest CWM on my tips thread linked in my signature. Also you can wipe completely by flashing my format partitions 5, 6, and 7 zip. Then you can flash the new CM7.2 zip with the new CWM.

OUTSTANDING I am now on my way to nook color happiness thanks so much for your help. If you are ever in Chicago I owe you a drink
thanks you are star.
Specs:
Nook Color Tablet bought off of ebay with CM10 on the internal memory (that "didn't work") and ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1
2gb bootable CM10 card
What i've done:
wiped the 2gb CM10 sd card.
Flashed internal memory (via the youtube tutorial) and put cm10 nightly from 03132013 and gapps
Installed netflix and hulu plus
Installed a blank 8gb sd card for apps and storage
So here's the problem. Last weekend I was watching a tv series on netflix. Drained the battery completely. Plugged it up for about two hours to recharge. Apparently When I plugged it up it decided to boot. >at this point it should be noted that the properly formated 8gb sdcard was in it, and not the bootable recovery sd card that was at the house<. When it booted it went straight into the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 menu. When I got back from the run we were on I tried rebooting it. It came up with the cyanoboot universal bootloader main screen, screen flashed and it went straight into the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 menu again. I tried rebooting several times. Same thing.
So tonight I got online, did a search, didn't find the answers i was looking for and settled on installing [ROM][JB 4.1.2][04MAR13 v1.20] SCHIZOID all-in-one (CM10+AOKP M1+PA 2.55). I flashed the /system, /data and /cache. Installed the new rom. Used the nook button + power to power it down, removed the boot card, and rebooted. Can you guess what it did? (see above).
So now i'm stuck. I DO NOT want to use a sd card to boot my nook. I want the OS in the main memory. Suggestions?
it should be noted, as i left this out of my OP, that I had tried to reflash CM10 back onto it. after that didn't work I tried the other rom. I've now tried reflashing CM10 and NOTHING is working.

You are in a recovery bootloop. Look at my NC Tips thread linked in my signature. See item A8 and A12. I suspect given your symptoms, you need to flash the romsrestore.zip file. It is trying to boot to stock recovery and repair itself.

I suggest you flash my zip for putting stock recovery back on the system. Then boot and let it do what it had been trying to do, whatever that is. It could be trying to do the 8 failed boot reset.Then when it has finished, put a new rom on it.
Either that or put stock on it (A15) and it will put everything back to virgin. Then you can put your own rom on it.
