I have updated ClockworkMod Recovery for the G Tablet to support the internal SD card a bit better.
There is now an advanced option to partition the internal SD card. This can come in handy when the internal partitions get hosed (which seems to happen on occasion with this device). To keep it close to stock you can select a 2048MB Data Partition and the remaining ~13GB will go to the internal SD card. You also have an option to format the internal SD card space as well as mount it as /emmc. You can still format the external SD card using the existing advanced option.
This recovery still uses the external SD card as its primary mount for actions (install ROM, backup, restore, etc.). However, the recovery is configured to “fall back” to the internal SD card for these actions if (and only if) there is no external SD card available to be mounted.
As always, credit to Koush for creating ClockworkMod Recovery in the first place.
----------------------
This is the current BETA release of the CyanogenMod 6.1 port for the G Tablet. There are still several issues, but it is far enough along that I use it as my daily system. Please review issues and post new ones as needed at the Issues page linked below. Feel free to leave feedback in the forum, but I may not be able to follow up on it. The best option is to catch me in #tegratab on Freenode IRC.
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4
CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 - MD5
ClockworkMod Recovery
My site: bekit.net post
gapps does work, but I probably should not release that here. Just make sure it is the MDPI variety and has an update-binary compatible with tegra.
*Note:
This version now matches the standards for SD card mounting on devices with both internal and external SD card space. This means that the external SD card slot now mounts to /mnt/sdcard (symlink /sdcard) and the internal space mounts to /mnt/emmc (symlink /emmc). The device properly recognizes the internal vs. external space and allows proper unmounting and handling of the external SD card. This also means that some apps (if they were coded poorly) will not recognize the internal SD space as available SD card space and will require you ti insert an external SD card. I will see if I can do something about the default apps (read: camera) that have this problem; other apps will need to be fixed by the developers.
Changelog:
CM6.1 Beta4:
Updated SD mappings for internal/external SD space to match standards (see note above)
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
Updated kernel to latest G Tablet version (still waiting on source so we can build our own)
Updated to the lasted drivers available for the G Tablet
Included updated libGLESv2 from nvidia (Angry Birds!)
Proper setup of CPU values - this allows the folio Flash APK to install properly
Matched fingerprint and device settings to latest G Tablet values
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3 (2010.12.11):
Added options for managing the internal SD card
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 (2010.11.24):
Updated SD mappings to match standards (see note above)
Using latest available source from the CyanogenMod repo
Enjoy!

Nice may try it on one of the other g tabs I picked up today.
Thanks for all the work
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!! and I will enjoy this for desert.
Works like a charm! We all love you! Now wish this damn camera would work right >_<
Awesome, Thank you for putting this together!
Do you know if it addresses the slowdown problem that was present in cmb2? (After using it for a while,browsing etc would slow down till you did a reset)
As usual amazing work. Everything is rock steady. Only things I added were Spare Parts to maximize some apps and a certain keyboard replacement that starts with S.
titanium backup is not seeing my internal sd card, is this a known issue? also i'm unable to mount sd or external sd to computer, the window closes when i try to. the rom seems to run smoothly though.
Thank you Bekit!
First time posting here in ages. Is there a trick to getting the audio working? No audio here, except for a freak accident. Not sure how or why it started working out of the blue, rebooted now it's gone again.
happy turkey day!

Same here and Kobo wants /mnt/sdcard. I've uninstalled both and re-installed in case something changed with beta4 that they'd cached but it didn't change anything. I've found the Titanium Backup official support site (www.legendroid.com/forumdisplay.php?27-Titanium-Backup-Official-Support) but haven't done through it yet ... turkey'd almost ready so it may be a while. Folks out east (or north or anywhere that this isn't a holiday) may wanna check in there.
EDIT: Meant to thank you, bekit, for your work on this. Sorry, was distracted by the smell of nearly done turkey!
No SD card here as well. Do I need to install the newest recovery?
Will be kinda hard to download anything.
Thanks for this update! As with all releases, I will try this one out as well. It's great to have choices in firmware, and at this stage, these firmwares are really-REALLY nice.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!!!

Mind=BLOWN! Thanks!
I can't get the recovery installed. Can I get an update.zip?
I can't install anything from the market. I keep getting not enough room on card? I have internal card selected in CM settings.
I tried installing this, making sure to put on the new clockwork and clearing user data, and when I was all done and went to reboot I got "magic value mismatch" no matter what I did. I was able to get into nvrecovery but flashing the old clockwork wouldn't fix it. I finally gave up and flashed the stock image to get going again, blowing away my internal SD titanium backups. Not a huge loss, but if anyone else is thinking about trying this, copy anything important off the internal SD just in case.
*edit*
Whoops, scratch that, apparently the nvrecovery stock image install doesn't wipe the SD, everything was there when I was done and flashed Clockwork again.
This is running well and I am seeing very smooth scrolling in the browser. That has been my biggest complaint with the gtablet.

Try pluging in headphones and then take them out.
Had the same exact problem.
(Oops... missed the fact that it was already answered!)
Thank you SO much! This is finally a usable ROM for this hardware-rich unit.
I have two questions:
1. Can anyone compile/provide a tun.ko file for this kernel? I would like to use VPN Connections on this device.
2. Is anyone else experiencing odd slowdowns after the device wakes up? When I first boot the device works smoothly. After the device is off and then turned back on, I sometimes experience an unbelievably laggy performance...
Thanks in advace!
I recently installed CM 7 to emmc after running it from sd for a year. When I first did the emmc install I used mirage 3/4 but when 7.2 was released I decided to try it. Now I want to install the new mirage kang but when I copy the file to my sd card it's not there when CWM looks for it. I wiped data and cache but every time I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2. Any thoughts?
I tried to search but not being able to search for exact phrases makes it hard to find anything.
[edit] When I get home I'll try reinstalling from the eyeballer card I made. Should I format my non-recovery sd card? I didn't need to use the eyeballer card to install 7.2. What's going on here?

Which SD did you put the mirage file on? If you were still using the SD from your SD install, it is not partitioned right to be using with CWM. CWM is expecting just a plain vanilla SD. You may have the mirage file on partition 4 which CWM cannot see.
It was the card from my sd install but I had formatted it when I originally did the emmc install. Also, I used a different card for the emmc install.
What I don't understand is how I updated to 7.2 by putting the file on the sd card and installing it from CWM but when I did the same thing to install the latest Mirage kang it didn't work. I tried toggling the signed requirement in CWM since Mirage isn't signed but it didn't make any difference. Even now that I deleted data and caches and installed Mirage from CWM card the 7.2 file is still on my main sd card and I can't delete it. Do I need to use the CWM card every time I do an update? Could TiBU be causing this?

Do you have your emmc and SD card swapped in CM? You may think you have it on SD but really have it on emmc. And CWM can't see emmc.
No, at least I didn't set it that way. I skipped that part of mr72's guide. Not only that but I tried putting a copy each on my emmc and my sd and it disappeared from the card and wasn't seen on the emmc.
I redid the whole install earlier. I'm going to try putting a Mirage file on the card now and see if CWM sees it.

OP, I've tried to help but really, I can't understand your issue, especially this: "I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2"
What else do you expect it looks for and finds?
Anyway, pls do list as much as info so we can help. I don't want to guess.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
The more info we gather, the better chance we pinpoint to your problem
update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip and update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip have different file names. When I put the Mirage file on the card CWM doesn't see it. Instead it sees the CM 7.2 RC1 file. That's why I was guessing TiBU, because normally when I flash a file it disappears from the card. I flashed CM 7.2 RC but it won't go away, even if I try to delete it. After conducting the experiment from my previous post I am wondering if my flash card is going bad. I'll do further experiments along that line today.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012; occasionally says sd card not installed or available
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
I wanted to go to update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012 which I have now accomplished
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
yes...
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
I'm not sure I understand what you want here but here's a list of what's on the CWM card: folder (.android secure), folder (Android), folder (DCIM), folder (LOST.DIR),gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip, mlo, u-boot.bin, uImage, update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip, update-encore-cwm.emmc-eyeballer.zip, uRamdisk
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
If you are referring to when I run CWM from this card it installs everything fine.When I wrote this question I was trying to flash the Mirage ROM from recovery and after I selected "install from sd" and "choose which file to install" my only choice was update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip rather than the update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip I expected to see.
Thanks for trying to help. Later today I will try copying my data sd card to another card and see if that fixes the programs saying the card is not available. If it does I will assume the other card is bad. Seem reasonable?

a. For less complicated, do just put ONE file in the root folder of your CwMR uSD card, not two. Just put the Mirage there, remove the other.
b. FYI, the latest Mirage is also CM7.2-RC1.

Ideally, it should only consist of those files that related for boot such "bold" and those flashable zip files. I don't know why those other folders gotten in there. Have this CwMR card being used on any system as storage b4?

Well, I guess I have my answer. I tried to format my 16 GB data card and it wouldn't format. Looks like card failure. Unless someone has a better idea I'm just going to order another card and chalk this up to running the OS off the card for so long. If flash memory only has a limited number of read/write cycles that must have burned through them.
Thanks votinh, leapinlar. Any other advice, suggestions, ideas on the situation will be appreciated.

Read/write cycle of the flash devices are usually high, 2000+ time, I doubt that you have burnt through.
Anyway, what tool you use to format your uSD?
---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------
If I was you, b4 purchasing another card, I would try to reformat the card and re-create its flashable CwMR.
If that didn't help, then order new one but note since you only need it for install ROM, 1GB or 2GB is more than enough.
I want at least a 16 GB card for my data and media. I have a 4 GB that I use for CWM and OS testing. I was using the 16 GB card for my OS when I was running off the card. After I installed to emmc I used the 16 GB card for data. The 16 GB is the card that I was having the problem with at the beginning of this thread. Since then I copied everything except my media onto the formatted 4 GB card and everything is running fine. I tried to format the 16 GB card using HPUSBDiskFormat but I got a message "Cannot Format". What program should I be using to format the card?
Other strange things that make me think the 16 GB card was the problem: I recently put some books on the card but they disappeared, one of my apps that is installed on the card keeps disappearing and I have to reinstall it, picture gallery keeps telling me that it can't read the sd, I can't delete files from the card either on the Nook or on my computer.
I hope it isn't the card and you guys know exactly what the deal is but after I put the 4 GB card in place of the 16 GB those problems aren't happening anymore. The final test will be to put an update file on the 4 GB card and boot to recovery. If CWM can see it I can't see how the 16 GB card isn't the problem.

I am aware of this. The fact that it wasn't working like that is the reason I started this thread.
Thanks for your help.
Now, it's a bit clearer that you have both CwM Recovery.
As I always mentioned and recommended NOT to flash CwMR into eMMC as it causes more headache than good but still many others choose to go that way and report more issue. Anyway, let's put that aside.
First step, reformat your 16GB card using MiniTools Wizard. I wish you luck there, if it can't, toss the card but if it's OK then second step, create a flashable CwMR 3.2.0.1 and put just the Mirage ROM in there.
I'm sure you know what to do.
Let us know how things go.
I may have done a dumb thing in installing CWM to the emmc but I was following a guide and didn't want to screw anything up. The reason I put off the emmc install for so long is that fear of bricking my Nook. So far so good on that front.
That tip about MiniTools is very helpful. I was sure there was something better than what I was using but I didn't know what it was. So far I'm getting very strange results when trying to format the card. The program says that the format worked but the files are still on the card. Surface test didn't show any errors. I tried to remove the old partition and create a new one but while that appeared to work there was no change on the card. I do notice that it wants to format the card in NTFS but I was under the impression that it should be FAT 32.
Is the card trashed? I can't think of anything else to try. I even flipped the lock switch and checked it. Still can't delete anything. I can't even delete a picture that I put on there.
As a last hope I tried putting the 16 GB card in my camera to see if the camera could format it. No luck. If the camera can't do anything with it the card is dead. Oh well, at least I got all my data off of it.
Votinh, do you know of any guide to removing CWM from emmc? It wasn't the problem in this case but it's not necessary. I didn't really want it but I thought that's how flashing worked on emmc. I see now that I can use ROM Manager for that.

Honestly, I chose to never flash CwMR into eMMC so I don't have much experience how to remove it, but I'm sure there is way. Will report back if I stumble across any thread about it. NOTE: having CwMR in eMMC is NOT so bad, it just gets you more headache down the road. A lot of people get it installed.
About your card, it's very itchy, ehhhh
Have you actually hit the format button or done or save whatever? and do so with FAT32, not NTFS.
It's first time I've heard the issue.
Yes, unfortunately. I hit format and then the check mark on the far left which I'm pretty sure is save. It certainly said it was doing something and that it had completed the operation successfully. All the files are still on the card though, after 2 formats, one NTFS and one FAT 32, remove and create, and 1 wipe. The files are all still showing on the card and I can't delete any or add any new.
What brand of your 16GB card is it?
I can't imagine that card was extensive damage like that.
Format many times and files still there, amazing.
The card is a Dane Electric from Newegg. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did for running the OS since it's not a SanDisk.
Just bought the parents some nook colors and I've been trying to rom it up with no luck...
The nook came with 1.3.0
These are the steps i took:
I used Win32DiskImager to write the 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.zip image to the boot SD and booted into CWM.
I removed the SD card and formatted it. Then added the rom zip and gapps zip to the sdcard.
I then reset to factory settings, then installed the rom and the gapps, then i reset factory again.
Then i would remove the sdcard and reboot and the rom would start to load...
I tried 3 different roms, cm7 mirage, phiremod and an ics rom... all 3 do the same thing, extremely slow and practically everything force closes... I cant even reboot to recovery, it seems like it stayed on the sdcard and didnt install to the nook...
Noob questions:
Should I have rooted it first?
Does it have to have an sdcard?
What can I do?
Thanks a million in advance!
I don't think this for the "Android Development" subforum.
Anyways.. unless you have a Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD, or cards with similar performance characteristics, you will see stuff like that if you run from SD card because the card is just too damn slow for small writes.
Look for "4k random write" benchmarks. Get a card that scores high on that. It's important for approximately everything that's not a large video.
You can benchmark yourself under Windows with CrystalDiskMark for example.

dammit, you're right - i could've swore i was in the Q&A forum... can a mod please move this thread?
also, regarding the sdcard quality, I actually want it installed on the nook itself, i dont want to have to depend on an sdcard...
You don't need to root first. You also shouldn't be booting to CWM after burning the image or reformatting afterwards. Your description is vague so it sounds like you may be trying to make a bootable SD card instead of installing the ROM internally. Certainly the crashing issues sounds like a slow SD card running a bootable ROM.
To install internally start with a freshly formatted card. Burn the 3.2.01 CWM image to the card. Then copy and paste the ROM zip (CM7, CM9, MIUI or whatever) and the Google apps zip files on the card. Do not unzip the files and do not put them in any folder.
Safely eject the card from the pc, insert it into the Nook and power up. Wipe data/system, clear the cache partition, go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache. This ensures you are totally clean for the ROM.
Next choose install zip from SD card. Then flash the ROM zip. Choose install zip from SD card again and flash the Gapps zip. Then unmount the card in the menu and remove the card and choose reboot. Or you can hold the power button for a few seconds to power down, remove the card and then power up.
You should now be in your new ROM installed to internal memory. Follow the official thread for the detailed instructions.

Are you using an internal card reader to burn the image? Use a cheap usb card reader. And be sure to use win32diskimager in administrator mode.

What @leapinlar is saying is that the built in reader is part of the problem. Get a little <$5 reader and use that to make the SD card.
The problem is the OP doesn't provide enough info. Before we offer help, pls do tell us what your intention?
1. Install CM? into eMMC (a.k.a. internal memory) or
2. Run CM? from uSD (a.k.a. external memory card).
Provide solid info then you will get more help that lead you to the right direction.

Maybe. Others have had problems using an internal reader. Just try a cheap usb card reader and see.

ok... so i'm i just used an external scard reader and the same thing is happening...
once i write the cwm img to the sdcard it makes it a bootable sdcard and i can access it or move files to it...
I have installed phiremod 7.2 on another nook color and it wants to close android.process.media. Force closes. And it doesn't have the status bar either. When I try to go to Play Store, it force closes android.process.media again. Any help?

yeah same thing happened 2 me... everything would force close and i had no status bar smh...
Hey nando99, try gryphon101's solution. Couldn't hurt.
gryphon101's solution?

...I had the cwm image on my 8gb sd.. correctly. BUT also had the ROM zip and GAPPS zip on the very same card! somehow the clockworkmod would get stuck. I started over with the cwm image on one card, and the zips on another one... worked fine then.

thats how i did it initially... i'd write the img to the sdcard, boot up in cwm no problem... take out the sdcard, format it, put the roms in the sdcard, then put the sdcard back in the NC... install the zips... installed fine... then massive force closes... i will try again, when i get home...
And we are using CWM 3.2.0.1...
Hi there,
I'm following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
The problem is that the phone wont detect the external SD in the clockwork recovery, so i made the wipe trough the internal SD.
It wiped everything, no problem.
The problem is that i cant mount the internal SD so i can place the zip and install it...
Ho should i proceed???
Thank you.
What filesystem is your sdcard formatted to? FAT32 works best for daily use.
Yes, it is on FAT32, but the phone wont mount it on the clockwork mode.
Worst, it wont connect no the computer, and i have no ROM on it...

What recovery are you using? I use CWM touch 6.0.1.2.
Have you tried sending over a rom with adb? If you have adb working, you open up cdm and navigate to where you have the adb files and write: adb push path-to-rom /data/media/
Flash a stock Rom with Odin and re- root

I had the same problem. I have the solution now.
The problem is cwm 6.0.1.2 - it does not recognise the external sd card and you are unable to backup to it as a result.
I have just reflashed cmw 5.8.4.0 through cf root 6.1 and everything is fine.
I now have a full backup (1.8GB) on my external SD card - which I checked by resetting and restoring.
The problem is not the phone, rom or card - it is CWM and you need to flash an earlier one that works via Odin. Hope this helps
The big problem is that the internal SD card wont mount on the computer, so, how can i put a stock rom in there?
I'm completely lost...
I have odin on the computer, how can i donwload the CWM 5 trough it?
Or the custom rom?
so you have 2 problems? phone doesn't detect external card and pc doesn't detect phone? please clarify
Yes, i have said that on the first post.
I have now the CWM 5.5.0.4, and it wont mount any sdcard, and the PC still wont recognize it...
does Odin recognize your phone in download mode?
Yes.
Having only the internal SD card, it says error mounting SD card...

the 2 problems are unrelated. Your PCs failure to recognise your phone is to do with drivers - you can try reinstalling Kies.
I suggest you sort that out first so that you can flash your phone via Odin.
well if Odin recognizes it, why don't you just flash a stock Rom?
The PC stooped recognizing the phone after i made the wipe.
Since it wiped the stock ROM, i have no phone, it wont mount the external SD, and it gives error mouting the internal SD.
How can i solve this?
I'll let you sort him out slaphead...I'll butt out cos I think we are getting mixed messages regarding the problem here, best of British....
There are no mixed messages, i have 2 problems.
I have already ignored the fact the the recovery wont mount the external SD card.
I want your help so i can at least transfer the custom ROM to the internal SD.

it seems he has possibly super wipes before installing and didn't put a zip to install on his ext sd card? Is that your line of thinking, because he isn't being very clear, but feel free to butt in, I'm not entirely sure where his problem starts at this very moment!
It was exactly that, i have used the Super Wipe from the internal SD.
I know i should have used the external, but it wouldn't work...
You know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes! If Odin recognizes your phone in download mode then flash a stock Rom, re root with cf root, boot up and set up, copy zip to sd card, and flash it, you will be on a clean install any way, so no need to use that POS superwipe, so just follow the Rom installation instructions, and you will have the benefit of knowing you are running a nice clean install, then you can just reinstall all your stuff with titanium or whatever :thumbup:
---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------
add to that, before installing the Rom, format your external sd on the phone, and make sure it mounts and unmounts in settings, but anyway, doing it the way I mentioned you can flash from internal sd

what happens when you connect to PC?
1. Does explorer recognise your phone?
2. Does Odin recognise your phone? (in download mode)
what storage have you got in your phone?
3. internal sd card
4. external sd card?
I recently got an external sdcard for my MXPE, and I immediately transferred my internal storage to it, and the two TWRP backups that I had. Then, when I am in TWRP I cannot get TWRP to read my external sdcard. I tried to mount it, but it won't let me check the box next to it. Then, in my file manager on my phone, I cannot see my TWRP backups on my external sdcard, but I know they are there because my phone says that the external sdcard has 13 gb taken up. I would really like to see those backups again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: i switched roms and reformatted my sdcard, which ended up working and fixing my issue
Didja format the card IN the phone via storage before you transfered stuff? I have had the problem in the past by that...

Yeah that's what i did. Is there any way to get my nandroid backups back?
Alot of PPL having this problem including me. It's something with 6.0 MM. Look at other posts, many asking the same thing. Don't know what to do, I need to figure out tho. If anyone figures out exactly what to do to fix this problem, please include it here.
There in a temporary way to do it. You can reformat to portable storage which then will then let you see what you should, but the problem with that, when you reformat to portable or internal, its erases the card each time, so each thing you'd do this, you have to back everything up, reformat, and copy it all back after you were done, huge hassle
