So currently I have a CM9 nightly booting on the first partition of my eMMC, and stock booting off of the alt partition, running off of CyanoBoot. And I would like to keep it that way!
However, finally I would like to install MiRaGe on my 16GB uSD. I see that CyanoBoot supports such a configuration... but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it!!! I've searched this forum/general/development up and down, but the farthest I've gotten is verygreen's 1.3 .img. I flashed it to my uSD, but when I reboot CyanoBoot simply boots as per normal, and hte boot menu cannot find anything to do with the uSD.
Please help me Q/A forum, you're my only hope!
Thanks guys.
Check out racks' triple boot OP in developer's forum. I think it is what you might be looking for. Very stable w/ CM7 and you can play with cm9.
I second that...it's stable and runs fast. I've been having fun with it the last few days.
Here you go.

Hey there everyone, I didn't want to post a thread, but from searching around, I couldn't find anything really.
I bought my nook about a week ago, and I have it running on cm7's nightly build 98, from my sd card. Is there any way to get Dalingrin's OC kernel onto my nook? I've tried putting the update file onto the root of my sd card and booting to recovery, but it doesn't work. I've been dealing with rooting/rom'ing with my captivate for a while, so I am pretty sure I didn't mess up on the flash, but I'm at a loss. I know you nook veterans get annoyed at questions like this, but I just wanted to have a place where newbs such as myself could come for a definitive answer.
Thanks to anyone who helps in advance.

To boot to recovery from the SD card after you restart/reboot, hold the "n" button down before the green Cyanogenmod splash screen shows. Instead of "loading", you'll see something like "booting to menu". You can let up on the "n" key at that point. You'll get a screen that describes what to do, but you should boot to the SD card and recovery. The OC kernel will install if you have it located on the sd /boot. This is also the way to install a new nightly or stable ROM update.
Other methods of booting to recovery, such as pressing the power button or selecting recovery in the ROM Manager after Android has booted, don't work because they expect to see the install on the emmc, not the sd.
Thank you for that, last question. If I'm on nightly 98, can I flash whatever the newest one is over my current? and will it wipe anything?
Edit: I put the 6/13 oc kernel update file on the root of my SD, selected SD and recovery from that boot menu, but how do I check if it worked?

The default CM7 kernel has a max OC of 925Mhz in the CM7 Performance Settings. The 6/13 kernel has a default max OC of 1200Mhz.
I suppose it still didn't work then :/ I'll keep trying. Anyone know if a new nightly will wipe everything I have and have set up?
So I've been using my NC for a while flashing roms no problem. I tried honeycomb emmc and it works but I want to go back to cm7. Didn't make a nandroid backup (wanted to start from scratch on purpose) . I can reflash honeycomb fine. I can also always boot to cwr from my recovery SD I made. What am I doing wrong to prevent cm7 from booting after flashed? I want to continue loading cm7 from emmc, not the SD card. Any ideas?
Should add I've tried cm7 nightly 114 and another 103 I believe, which was working perfectly before I flashed honeycomb. It displays the cm7 boot logo then just an all black but still powered on screen. Never makes it to the boot animation.
Kinda at a loss for ideas here. I'm sure it is something simple that I missed, but I'm not finding anything like this on XDA. Right now my nook is either booting to recovery and sitting there, or just a totally useless paperweight. I know it isn't bricked, I just don't know what else to try to get back to CM7.
shamless bump. I have spare time today to play with this.
Did you wipe /system and /data before you flashed CM7?
Absolutely.

Are there additional steps I'm missing? This is the first issue I've had flashing the nook or any android device.

I seem to recall CM7 not booting for me after one of my play sessions. Although I hadn't loaded Honeycomb. The only way I could get back was to flash Nook 1.2 from a CWR sdcard and start over.
I just flashed nook froyo 1.2 that keeps CWR and still am unable to boot. If it wasn't for booting to my CWR SD, I'd be scared I bricked it.
What are some known good ways to get back to 100% stock? I don't mind re-rooting. Is there a RUU file or something?
I also recall having to remove the emmc CWR that ROMmanager installed (without really asking or making clear what it was doing).
In the DEV section there's a zip that removes the CWR boot and returns to stock boot. I'd try that.
I'm surprised there are no experts on hand to offer more guidance - it's a bit like sleepy hollow here!
I did try that zip if we are thinking of the same thing. IDK what is going on. I can't get it to boot on 1.0.1 BN, 1.2 BN, CM7....I'm really worried now.
Sorry this is not an answer to your question, but I wondered why you didn't like honeycomb and want to go back to cm7?

Honeycomb isn't a complete port... it has no hardware acceleration and doesn't do a lot of things that CM7 can, probably due to the nonavailability of the source code.

Short Version: My Nook died while in use and will only boot from the SD. I've found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353 link stating a fix but after the last couple days experiences want to ake sure this is the ost current fix, I've found no other.
*Long version. Been running CM7 nightlies, experienced a bunch of SODs so I wiped cache and Dalvik. That sent me into a Recovery boot loop. Found an old thread, tried stated fix which fubar'd the Nook. Booted from SD, flashed Clockwork, flashed CM7 n143 and it booted, formated card through CM7 settings, restored my card then apps through titanium and while browsing with Opera the nook "died", black screen. Charged and after a bunch of searching found I can boot fro SD, albeit with a hasty version of honeycomb.
Thanks for any help restoring my favorite device.
Don't know what combo I did, but fought this all day. Boot loops were the common problem of today.
Used nook-completer-restore-1.0.1.zip, recoveryfix-3.0.28.zip then update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip on a bootable sdcard. Then updated back to the the current cwm version and nightly after finally getting cm7 to boot.
Your boot partition was borked. In the future Google "dummies guide to my nook wont boot" its a tutorial on fixed corrupted boot parts here on xda.
Hello,
I don't get Clockwork Recovery to run on my 64gb tablet (ROW, thanks to realyst2k: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471106 )
I did everything like explained and tried it several times. But after rebooting, the tablet freezes during "Booting recovery kernel image". With the power button I can boot into android normally and restore the factory recovery.
Did CWR work for anybody on a 64gb tablet? I did not find any post saying so.
Has anybody an idea what the problem may be?
(Sorry to post this as a new topic, I'm not allowed to write in the developement forum.)
CWM install worked flawlessly for me and is still running great. Wish I could help more.
I think I figured out what the problem is: my tablet is a WE build, not ROW. Is there a chance to get CWR for WE tablets?

The US version also works with WE
Thank you very much, now it works
Excellent news!
Nook color running Racks triple boot via micro SD card. Micro SD card is a Sandisk 8GB class 4 card.
Was previously running fine for many months with the 2/2/12 roms. I would run CM7 99% of the time and I would get a random reboot here and there, but otherwise very stable.
A couple days ago, I had a random crash and tried to reboot CM7. I could get passed the boot loader screen, but then would have a continuous boot loop with the blue android symbol.
Thinking something was corrupted with the rom, I booted to recovery and tried flashed the rom along with gapps. Still boot looping.
I booted to CM9, and was able to run. So I downloaded the latest CM7 and CM9 roms for Racks triple boot. Flashed both along with the gapps and CM9 fix. Apparently I got lucky and was able to boot into CM7.... once. Thinking everything was OK, I went on with my life and ran the new CM7 happily.
Now, a few days later, I've tried to reboot and I'm back at the same boot loop with the arrow spiraling around the a blue skateboarding android. Note, in that short time that I was running the newest Racks triple boot CM7 rom, I did not run a backup, so, I'm basically out of luck with recovery via CWM.
I've flashed the 2/2/12 rom as well as the latest rom to see if either would work again. nothing... still boot looping... for hours now.
Any suggestions other than wiping the SD clean and starting with a fresh install?
Thanks all.
~mike
Bump...
Been a bit, no responses yet. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
~mike
I think the fresh install will help since you already tried partial reinstalling the roms.

I have a nook with CM7 installed on it. was going return my nook to stock to give it to my little sister, but when i went to install the stock stuff back on it got stuck in a loop. It won't boot from an uSD card with clockwork on it and when I tried the 7 hard boot in a row trick, it didn't do anything. Did i really brick the thing? or can it be recovered?

You are in a recovery bootloop with no recovery installed. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature. Read item A8. You need to make and use my special bootable CWM SD (select the 'larger' image). Then if you want to return to stock, read item A15.
