[Q] Best way to move from SD based CM7 to emmc CM7 without loosing apps or data.

What is the best way to move from a SD based CM7 to a emmc CM7 and not loose any apps or data? I've been running off the SD card for several weeks and am ready to move to the flash based setup but don't want to loose any data or apps. I may also want to be able to dual boot into the Nook 1.2. Currently running CM7 41, OC Kernel 04/04/11, and dualboot menu all off the SD card.
Thanks,
jmak

+1. Little help?
Thanks!

titanium backup your apps/data, then install fresh copy on emmc, then restore all
I thought about doing the reverse, emmc to sd but that thought went away after a few minutes

How do you use titanium backup to do the restore since the backup is stored on the original SD card that was used to boot CM7? Do you have to copy the backup files to another card to do the restore?

yes,
-do the backup,
-copy the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder to your computer (via adb/cifs-wifi/dropbox/ESFileExplorer/whatever)
-install your prefered ROM
-copy to sdcard/TitaniumBackup from your computer's copy
-batch restore (i'd buy titanium pro if you have many apps, if not, it will ask to confirm restoring one by one)

Clockworkmod can't mount /sdcard ext4

Good Evening Everyone,
I am opening up this thread because I am not able to use the Backup Current Rom feature in my Nook Color using ext3 or ext4 file system on my micro-sd card.
Is there any way to fix this problem without using fat32?
This is what happen:
I select Backup Current Rom
The nook restarts
Waiting for SD card to mount
Can't mount SD card...
Bye and thank you very much in advance

This sounds like you are running CM7 off of SD... you DO NOT use CWM for SD installs.
If you are not running off of SD... then I'd make sure you have the current version of CWM (3.2.0.1) and try mounting the SD from the menu's before trying anything else.

Hi, First of all, thanks for answering to my inquiry
Yes I run CM7 on from the internal memory of the Nook Color and yes, I am running CWM (3.2.0.1).
If I mount the sd card from the menu settings->storage->Mount SD Card, the sd card is mounted without any problems... The problem is when I try to Backup Current Rom
I tried also to reboot manually in recovery mood and do:
mounts and storage
mount /sdcard and I get Error mounting /sdcard!

Assuming you have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD.
Plug it into the NC, when powering up, it should be automatically booted into CwM Recovery. From there, do the Backup.
No need to mount SD card. In fact, don't know why you would do that?

1- How do I know if I have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD?
I have the one that comes with the CM7 updated to 3.2.0.1.
2- I went on ROM Manager ->Backup Current ROM but still, when I am in the recovery mode and I click on
backup and restore -> backup
I get the message Can't mount /sdcard
I have also tried to turn on the nook and enter into the recovery mode by pressing the n key but still, I get Can't mount /sdcard when I try to backup my ROM.
What do I do wrong?
P.S. In case my CwMR is not good, how do I remove it?

Ehhhh, honestly, no clue what you're trying to say.
Anyway, let's start from scratch.
Firstly, pls let us know your current system such ROM version, where it boots from, .....
Secondly, what are you trying to do? Make a backup?

The ROM version is CyanogenMod-7-11162011-NIGHTLY-encore.
I got it in download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore

It boots from eMMC (I think... I installed the ROM in the Internal Memory)

Bye and thank you very much.

Clear!
Now, if you did install ROM into eMMC yourself, then I assume you know how to create a flashable CwMR uSD and it is good.
Assuming the flashable uSD is fresh and good.
1. Insert the uSD into NC. Power it up. It will boot into recovery AUTOMATICALLY.
2. From the CwMR menu, using volume up/down button to to Advanced, then Backup. Let it run until finishes. Theoretically, the entire backup .zip file should be around 100MB.
3. Remove the uSD off NC.
4. The backup .zip file should probably be in the "clockworkmod" folder under ROOT. Transfer it to PC or other space to save.
That's it.
There is absolutely no need dealing with "mount SD" or "ext3" or "ext4"

[Q] Can't read SD 4th partition (verygreen CM7)

I had CM7.1 installed onto the microSD (verygreen's method) and also had MIUI on emmc.
Today I decided to the unusable MIUI and install CM7 to emmc. Installation went fine but post installation of CM7(emmc) I booted into my SD CM7 to do a TB to restore onto emmc but it couldnt read/find the supposed SD(i.e. mmcblk1p4)
Next up I tried NookColor UMS. It mounts emmcblk1p1 as boot and I can add/remove files but the emmcblk1p4 gets mounted as a removable drive that "needs to be formatted".
(P.S. I did try mmcblk1p2/p3 but couldn't see anything in them either. I assumed they must be ext and since I'm on win7 I cant view them)
How do I get the emmcblk1p4 to mount/read?
thanks!

Did you use the same sd card to install CM7 to the emmc as you used for CM7?

Yeah. The same. I put the zip in the boot partition of the card. (mmcblk1p1)

Are you sure that you didn't format your card when you wrote the boot image to install CM7 to the emmc?
How did you go about installing CM7 to emmc? Which emmc install method did you use?

Here's what I did:
1. Reboot into recovery. (Emmc CWM, not verygreen's installer.)
2. Unmount/remove SDcard.
3. Wipe/data factory reset.
4. Insert/ mount SDcard
5. Install zip from SDcard.
6. Choose zip and confirm
I know when we do a wipe data/factory reset then the sd-ext partition is formatted and that would delete any one of my CM7 SD partitions so I removed SD before this step.
Could it be that during flashing something happened to mmcblk1p4?
I had no ideas about the various methds for emmc install. I thought this was the standard procedure. Please tell me how to recover. Also if possible can you tell which would be the best method for doing something like this?

How possibly you can use ONE uSD for both CwMR and CM7?
I don't think it works that way.
Either your provided info is incorrect or it is a completely new to us.

As I stated in my previous post..the CWM is emmc while have 2 copies of CM7 (sdcard- verygreen and the normal emmc). And CWM recognises emmcblk1p1 as sd-card. So I put ROMs there.
And my emmcblk1p4 can't be read.

[eMMC] to [SD] restore emmc to SD card

how do I restore a backup of internal cm9 to SD card cm9? ........ and YES i AM mildly retarded........ ok MODERATELY..... so details please. Thanks all.

From what i understand, running an os from SD requires a different boot file, so i don't think you can just make a backup of an emmc image and apply it to the sd. I could be wrong though.

There isn't really a way to just copy and paste but you can just make a titanium backup of your current install and? Hen restore it after you make a CM9 SD card

Nexus 4 installing roms?

Ok, I ordered a white nexus 4 from the google play store. I was just thinking that there is no sd card, so how does flashing roms work? Do we just flash from the internal sd card. Im just confused with this no external sd card and internal on the nexus 4.

it works the same as having an sd card when flashing roms/kernels.

Well what do you guys wipe before flashing a ROM?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

There is a partition of storage which acts exactly like an SD Card (you just can't remove it), so things like your Downloads, Pictures and Photos wont be wiped when you do a full wipe as they are in the internal "sd card" storage
But always good practise to take a backup in case something goes wrong during a flash

just chose wipe data/factory reset in the recovery. and as stated above, nandroid backup!

A bit of a noob question, what exactly is contained within a nandroid. Just system files and and user apps? What about apps that store to sd card?
I tried helium but it doesnt back up the sd card part and i doubt titanium does either. (eg real racing back ups only save the apk)

A nandroid backs up everything on the phone - boot and system files, ROM, kernel, user apps - except the SD card. So no, if apps are installed to your SD card they will not be backed up.
Just copy your SD partition onto your computer so you have a backup.
