I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I just want to be able to have my Nook Color stock 1.2 without the SD card in and whatever the latest version of Honeycomb is here with the SD card in.
I'm confused because I've read the threads in the Developer's section and according to them it's possible but when I download this:
"Update 5/5 : Divine Madcat's Honeycomb RC2 SDcard:
hxxp://xxx.multiupload.cxm/PKLYFMXYZZ
MD5 - 6c3ef5139f33ad250e05117f4e5f9b3f"
"xxx" used since I can't post outside links. End of first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998861
Then unzip it, there is no .img file in there for WinImage or Win32DiskImager to write to the SD card.
I apologize if I sound like an idiot but what am I doing wrong here?
I appreciate anyone who might be able to shed some light on this for me.
My understanding was that using the above would allow for booting to the current HC as long as you boot with the SD card in. I just can't seem to find the actual image file once unzipped.
You have to read and follow all of the instructions that are in the first post.
The files on that page do not contain SD images that you write to a card, they have to be installed via the process racks11479 explains.
Thanks very much, makes a lot more sense now. I guess I wasn't reading properly. Thank you again!

Found this thread describing how WinImage did not work for the Size-Agnostic CM7 image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096865
I can confirm this is true, WinImage did not work, but Win32diskimager worked fine. I'm using a 16GB Lexar Class 4 mSD. Thought verygreen might want to update the instructions.
Here is the thread I wanted to post to:

Thanks and I hope this helps some others.
Winimage worked for me
I used winimage a couple of days ago and follow a video on how to use it worked for me . I had iniatially tried Win32diskimager but couldnt find a youtube video to watch to know how to use it . I had to do my sd card twice though as I installed the cm7 and then went back and tried to install the gapps to no avail . I redid the card and installed the cm7 and gapps at the same time and it worked . Now I am trying to work out how to dual boot, I fluked it once into b and n stock with the card in . Love to know how you are suppose to do it though, or do I have to do the multiboot file reinstall ?
I used the instructions in the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
The only difference is I used Win32diskimager instead of WinImage. Other than that I did it exactly as in those instructions (which includes the multi-boot bootloader and installing gapps as a separate step).
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.

Better to rename something similar to the original CM7. Though, ymmv.
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.
Hey guys, I'm having a tough time getting the Mirage CM7 ROM to work on my Nook Color via SD.
First I went to the Mirage thread I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
I downloaded the ROM from the first post. I heard there's a more recent build, 11102012, but I can't find it :\ (some help finding it would be nice). Also
Since Eyeballer's guide that was listed is for eMMC only, I went to the other thread, verygreen's guide, that was linked in his guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I got the .GZ from there, unpacked, and wrote the IMG on the SD card (using Win32DiskImager). Then I copied and pasted the ROM directly onto the SD.
I proceeded to boot my Nook with the SD card, and now all I get is
"Initial install files not found. Please download it from nook.linuxhacker.ru and put on first partition of this SD card the name should start with updatei-cm and end with .zip"
I also downloaded the file from the "How to update if you already installed using older version of the installer and don't want to reinstall (understandably):" part of verygreen's thread but no success
