hey guys, i browsed quite a while to see if there was a thread with a similar question but couldn't get a solid answer.
just got a nook color, version 1.3.0. my goal was to get [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod on it, so my first step was putting UNooter on my micro sd.
after rebooting my nook color with the unooted sd, my nook still looked stock, but there was a menu asking me to choose "Home" or "Zeam Launcher." every time i
hit my N button, i get the complete action using Home or Zeam Launcher as well. I took out the sd card, and my options are the same- did i install completely internally? Was i not supposed to UNoot at all, and just put the CM Mod zip on my sd?
not sure where to go from here- maybe make a recovery card and retry? any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks!
So you got the NC 1.3.0. First step, MAKE SURE it is the NC, not the NT.
You want to get CM7.2-RC1 KANG. OK, next step, where do you intend to run that custom ROM from? eMMC or uSD?
When you decided to run a custom ROM, there is NO NEED to root it first.
Instructions or help will follow when you provide enough info and what you try to accomplish.

thanks for the quick response! i was trying to get CM7.2-RC1 KANG on my uSD. so i can just put the cm7 file on my sd card and reboot and forget UNooter altogether? eventually i'd like to get eMMC back to stock, but i'm not really concerned about that right now.

If you are just looking to run KANG on your SD card, then just follow the directions HERE. You will need to rename the KANG zip file to update-cm- when you put it on your SD card.
That's it.
GMpower has provided the link.
Following it and you should be good to go.
Note:leapinar (spelling?) does have a better (more storage) version of the image. Search in that thread.

I have searched diligently and have yet to find specific instruction for creating a bootable SD card for my NC with MIUI Nook Color 1.9.16 (or any version of MIUI for that matter).
I am currently running a fully rooted version of 1.3 on the emmc and "all is well" and I need it left that way so as to continue having access to "in store reading" which I use quite a bit.
Have previously had CM7 and Phiremod running both internally and on an SD card at various times and tried to do a previous version of MIUI on the card using the same process without any luck.
Thanks in advance.
You can use verygreens method here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Important part is to rename the miui zip like this -
'How to update to a new build:
put the new build you want to try on the first partition. (the name must be update-cm-*.zip or cm_encore_full*.zip or just update-*.zip)'
..and it should work fine
cheers,
Many thanks as that did the trick!

It installed/is using the new Market interface (3.1.3?).
Where are/is "My Apps" as I do not seem to be able to find it.

Cheers,
What did you rename the MIUI file? I've tried it a couple different ways and checked the MD5's, but keep getting errors. Unless my SD card has been corrupted somehow (I used it for other SD boots before this, so not too likely), I can't think of anything else causing the problem.
Hi. I tried putting the MIUI zip in the root of the sd card and booted into recovery as stated. It was renamed as one of the cm7 updates and installation went as per normal. However, when I did boot up the nook was stuck looping the MIUI animation and did not finish. What did I do wrong?

Maybe just didn't wait long enough... the first boot takes a long time since the update script clears cache and dalvik cache.
Of course... this is just a wild guess since you didn't provide a whole lot of information... more information may yeild different feedback.

What kind of information? My nook color originally had the latest CM7 nightly on the sd card. I followed verygreen's method when I installed that. I used the NC normally. Then, I followed this thread and applied verygreen's method. I downloaded the MIUI rom from the miui thread, renamed it like the cm7 nightly zip ("cm_encore_full-253.zip") and put it in the root of the sd card. I put the sd card back in and booted via recovery. It installed and shut down. I turned it on again, and reached the MIUI globe thing. It was looping and stuck there for 30 minutes.
I've been thinking of trying miui.
If anybody has got.it running from SD please give the step-by-step procedure for the rest of us.
Thanks

I hate to revive a dead thread, but I have been trying everything I could read or download.
I am using the Size-agnostic installer from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I am trying to flash MIUI 1.9.16 (MIUI.us_encore_1.9.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_andmer) (http://goo-inside.me/miui/encore/)
I successfully installed CM7 to this Sandisk Class4 16gig microSD. Every time I try to flash MIUI, I re-burn the size agnostic card image, copy over the cm7-renamed MIUI ROM, and boot.
The installer seems to work, just like my CM7 installs. Then, when I try to reboot, it goes back to the installer (linux penguin at the top, goes through the motions of trying to flash another rom, when not finding anything, it shuts down).
I know I am missing something simple.
Am I to install CM7, then MIUI on top of it (without reburning the card)? Am I just using an SD-incompatible ROM? For those who were successful, where did you download the ROM from?
I know I have lots of questions, I hope you guys see my effort (that I don't just want someone to give me a quick fix), and I thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards!

I'm certainly no expert, but I have flashed two different versions of MiUi to micro SD cards adn then worked fine. You do not need to do i over CM7. Like you, I prepared a clean SD and used the size agnostic procedure. I renamed the MiUi file to some that started with update-cm-
I got my MiUi file here:
http://roms.miui.us/
I used a program called SD Formatter to format the card.. then I used the 1.3 version installer. I sometimes had problems using winimage to create this sd card . You have to select the drive letter for the sd card and then use the "restore" choice on the menu.
David, thanks for your response. I had already wiped it and installed CM7, but when I saw your post, I gave MIUI one last try. I downloaded from that site, and BAM, it installed perfectly! Thanks heaps!
I have been flashing CM7 onto a SD card and booting it from there since I got it when they first came out. With that being said, I have no idea what I initially loaded on the card to get it to boot but it has worked great all this time.
Since CM7 is not really updating and I like to keep up to date, can someone please tell me in very easy, step-by-step instructions or a place where it is how to change from what I have now to get to Mirage's Kang build?
I need to know what all needs to be changed on the SD card and also how to keep all my apps, etc. without having to re-install everything.
Thank you so much!

Quick and dirty Kang. See my sig.
I usually to a Ti:backup of all apps+system data then copy the file over to the PC before dropping the ROM on the card for the update. I've never had a case where the apps weren't preserved on the upgrade, but in case they aren't you have another copy. To restore it, re-install Ti:backup, drop the backup file onto the nook and point Ti:backup to restore from the file.
Thanks
Thank you both for the help!!!

No. I know dizzyden was working on a way to make that happen, but as far as I know, stock only works on emmc.
But you could put stock back on emmc and your Kang on SD.

Well in answer to the original poster in this thread, I now have a way to get Stock on a verygreen SD. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item B11 in the second post of that thread. You can even have rooted stock with OC and apps2SD support.
I am still working on a method of having stock on SD while still using data on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2... I have not given up... just gotten side tracked a time or two.

edit: Its been awhile since i made a sd rom....so far i have made the sdcard from This and i dont exactly understand how to do the rest of it properly, my nook color is on the cm7.2 kang build with mirage kernel and in Leap's instructions it says
leapinlar said:
So the procedure to get this working is to prepare a verygreen SD using the image file attached to my SD installation instructions thread here (generic-sdcard...). Then boot it at least once with the SD installed in the Nook so the SD can partition itself. If you have an existing verygreen SD prepared, you can skip those two steps. Copy the zip files to somewhere that recovery can find them. If you use the newest versions of CWM or TWRP recovery they can read files from emmc media storage. Boot to recovery and insert the prepared verygreen SD into the Nook. Flash the ROM zip to the SD. It will format the system and data partitions on the SD and install the ROM. Boot to the SD and the new stock ROM should load. Follow the directions to register with B&N. Once you have registered you can stop there if you are satisfied with plain stock. But be warned, if B&N decides to update to a new version in the future, it may mess up whatever you have installed on emmc. Therefore I recommend that you flash the Block Updates zip which blocks OTA updates. If you flash Manual Nooter you do not have to flash Block Updates separately since it is included in Manual Nooter. To install Block Updates, Manual Nooter or OC/apps2SD support, flash the zips to the SD with recovery just like you did the ROM. If you flash Manual Nooter, it has gapps and Market with it so you must register them with Google. And you need root if you want to the OC and apps2SD support, plus you will need a program like SetCPU to adjust the processor.
You can get the modified 1.4.3 B&N stock ROM zip here, the modified Manual Nooter zip here, the modified OC/apps2SD zip here, and the modified Block Updates zip here (all four modified for verygreen SD installation).

I have done the partitioning on the sdcard so it now has the 4 partitions in it....the nook is running CWM 3.2.0.1 emmc recovery. I've downloaded all 4 zip files, but i only plan on putting the stock nook, and manual nooter (leap says it includes the update blocker) on it
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
You need to update your emmc recovery to a newer version so that you can flash those zips from internal memory (emmc media). You will run into problems finding the files with 3.2.0.1 since you have to take your normal SD out and put your verygreen SD in.
So flash this zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23537853
Then copy the downloaded files to emmc media, boot to the new CWM and select the files from internal memory and flash them to your inserted verygreen SD.
EDIT: I just updated my instructions in my tips to make that clearer. Thanks.

I have built in safeguards to make sure that won't happen. If no SD is in the slot, it won't flash, if the SD in the slot is not formated with 4 partitions, it won't flash. And when it finally does flash, it is hard coded to go to SD. Flash away. First ROM then a little later after you have registered and let it finish loading books, the manual nooter.

It took me a very long time to download the books and I have a fast connection. I think B&N just pushes them out slow for stock. Other stuff downloads fast, like once you are rooted and you download apps from play store.

Brah....dang it...I messed up by accidently hitting the erase and deregister button.....it didn't seem to erase anything, but it did deregister it...would I have to remake the SD and then reflash the rom again? (Not that it is a big deal or time consuming to do lol)

So i just got a nook color from someone who was selling it at work. It is factory with 1.4.2. All i want to do is install CM10. But i am kind of confused with all the different instructions in these Forums. I didnt buy an sdcard yet for this device so im pulling my sdcard out of my Galaxy note 2 backing it up and formatting it so i can root the nook. So here are my questions.
1.) Is manual nooter the only way to root 1.4.2?
2.) Once rooted can i simply download/install twrp and install CM10 then remove the sdcard and not use it again or must the sdcard always be there to boot up the device into CM10?
3.) if the above can be done what thread gives the best directions on how to do the above.
Sorry for being a nook noob. Give me a Samsung device and i will root and rom that thing with my eyes shut. But with this nook im feeling humbled lol

If you are going to put CM10 on your internal memory, you do not have to root your stock 1.4.2. Just follow eyeballer's guide, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12797652
And you do not really have to have an SD card in the slot, but many apps expect one and won't run without one, so it is a good idea to get one. If you really don't want one, there is a tweak you can do to fool the apps into using your internal media storage as an sdcard.

I've tried to do a search for this but can't find it. I'm such a complete novice I may have run across it and not even known I did. I tried to make a bootable SD to be able to use the google app store. I've seen so many instructions now I don't even know where the first one I used is. I think I used CM7 (my Nook Color is version 1.4.1...don't know if that matters). So far, nothing I've done has added the shopping cart but first things first.
Evidently I must have really screwed things up because the cyanogenmod is now on my nook instead of the SD card (which explains why I had so many problems when I tried to redo it). The first thread I found doing a google search was this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720&highlight=restore+to+stock.
After reading through it on the last page someone posted that it was a very old thread and to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25354258#post25354258 and go down to 15A. But, having the technical skills of a pencil eraser, I can't even figure out which software to download, let alone how to accomplish the restoration. I actually managed to jailbreak my iphone but that was just a matter of downloading software and running it. This doesn't appear to be as simple.
I did manage to find all the files required by the first thread to do the restore, but then I got to this: Select "Restore virtual hard disk image" from the "Disk" menu. My winimage doesn't say that. I am using a new SD card so perhaps that's why. It's at that point that I read all the way through the thread to discover that method? or the firmware? was obsolete.
All I really want is to know which file(s) to download and, if possible, a link to instructions a 5 year old could follow. If I knew a 6th grader I'd just ask them because I'm pretty sure this is hard wired into their DNA. I'm 53 so that's probably half my problem. I can usually figure these things out but this has me completely stumped.
Thanks so much for your time.
You probably used ROM Manager and told it to install CWM and update to a new ROM. The problem is, ROM Manager only works on internal memory installations, not SD installations, so it installed CM to internal memory.
Don't use that old thread to flash stock back on to internal memory, even if you did find the files.
And age is not an excuse for not learning, I'm 68.
Go to my thread referenced above and download the stock 1.4.3 zip file from A15. It is linked in the text of A15.
Make a bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash the stock ROM. Download the file CWM-6.0.1.2-bootable_SD.zip and extract it somewhere on your PC. You should end up with approximately a 300MB .img file. Burn that image to your SD using Win32diskimager per the directions quoted here:
To use Win32DiskImager, find it on the web (here, it's free) and install it on your Windows PC. Open it (be sure to run it as administrator) and select the drive (device) that has your card reader with your SD inserted. Then in the image file box put the location where you have the extracted img file. Then when everything is set right, click on the write button. A warning will pop up asking if you want to proceed. When you have verified that you are going to write to the correct device, click on Yes. (One user overwrote their external USB hard drive by not verifying first). If you get an error message about access denied, it means you are looking at the drive with Windows Explorer. Close Windows Explorer and try again. In fact, it is a good idea to close all unnecessary windows when burning, even your browser.

Once the SD is burned, temporarily remove the SD from the PC and then reinsert in your PC. Then copy the Stock zip you downloaded earlier to the SD. Insert the SD into your Nook and boot. Once CWM appears, use the volume up/down keys to move the cursor and highlight "Install zip from SD". Then use the n key to activate it. Select the zip you copied to the SD. Go ahead and flash it.
When it is complete, take the SD out and boot. It should boot to stock.

Sorry to be a bother, I don't know whether this is related. Everything loaded perfectly and it looks just as it did when I first turned it on but now every time I try to use the keyboard, it pops up for probably less than a second and then goes back down. I've tried to "catch" it to see if I could get a letter/digit each time to try and put in but it just goes up and down, up and down. I tried doing the set up with the boot disk in because I know nook reads the sd card first but that didn't help.
However, the version I originally had on the nook color was 1.4.1. Would it make a difference if I used the 1.4.3 instead?

Did you follow the instructions in the thread where you were supposed to flash a format zip? I forgot to add that in the above instructions. It is not to late to do it. Boot to CWM and flash the format zip and boot back to stock and re-register again. That may be the cause of the keyboard problem.
And being 1.4.3 should make no difference.

Yes. Installed that as well. However, I did notice when I put the sd card in my computer a few times windows said "disk might be corrupt do you want to continue?" So that might be the problem. I'll go into town tomorrow and get a new one to see if that makes a difference.
Well, I got a new SD card and it's still doing the same thing, the keyboard just goes up and down, up and down so I don't know what to do now.

fix it?
Did you ever get it fixed? I did (probably) the exact same thing as you did (installed flashable ROM in eMMC), and it took me hours to get it straightened out
Although I can't say for sure... since I wasn't really taking notes with what I was trying... I think what eventually got me going was using a different bootable (step 1), b/c my microsd card was an off brand (lexar 8gb).
What I did was...
1) made bootable SD card with [generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-larger-Rev5.zip] rather than "so&so size gb card CWR.img"
2) added [nookcolor_1_4_3_signed.zip]
Before I got it to work properly, I had various types of failures-
stuck at "n" screen,
wifi wouldnt work (so I didnt get past nook first start-up process),
appeared to work ok but screen would flash all the time (your keyboard problem)
Eventually I got it sorted, and through all this trial and error, was able to properly put CM10 on sd card whilst leaving nook "original". Lol.
