Hi,
Having a with a Nook where it will not complete boot of CM7 which is installed on an SD card. Instead it boots into the Nook Color software.
I hold down the power button till I see the green Cyanogenmod logo with the Loading text, which I think means it is booting from the SD card (I can get it to boot into CM recover), then the screen goes blank and something goes wrong and the boot process continous with the 'n' screen and eventually loads the Nook boot animation and ends with the Nook software loaded. The nook software seems to be running fine except I can't get the SD card to boot all the way.
I've tried 2 known good SD cards, which boot without problems on my second nook, so I know it is not the SD card. I suspect something got corrupted with the boot process files, so I have been trying to find a way to overwrite the existing files with a virgin copy.
1) Can't get ADB running, I suspect the ADB route is only possible if I have the nook booting in a rooted CM7 in the first place (if some one could confirm that would help)
2) I have tried the x8 boot fail reset as well as the erase and deregister option in the nook software with no change in the above behaviour.
3) My last hope is to do an update back to stock using the recovery mode of the SD card. I can copy an updater file to the small partition of the SD card that is visible on Windows. I found a 1.2 stock updater, but it is ~200MB which is too big to fit on the SD card. If someone could point me to a smaller updater or a sd image with CWM and >200MB space that would be very helpful. TY!
What exactly are you trying to do? If you are just trying to set up dual-boot of CM off of your SD card, you don't need to do anything to the stock B&N internal install. I've had good luck using the procedure in the [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards thread.
Are you sure the initial CM install on your SD card went well? It's known to be very particular (see top of that thread) about what SD cards work. The first few times I tried, I didn't realize there were error when CM was initially extracted which led to similar failures. From what you've described, the SD setup is failing. Normally, you don't need to worry too much about what's on the internal emmc setup of the Nook Color.

Hi bobsto, some background. I've been using CM7 on a microSD for several weeks now. I dual boot between Nook SW and CM7 that way. I've been using the link you posted above to create the SD cards and so far I have not had to touch the eMMC files at all.
Then a friend messed around with the Nook I gave them with CM7 on an SD card. I don't what the friend did, but when I got the Nook back it would not boot into CM7. I pulled my SD card from my working Nook and it wouldn't work either. So I'm guessing someone screwed with the Nook internal files. So I am trying the factory restore of the Nook SW to see if that will fix the problem and allow me to load CM7 from the SD card again. Interestingly Nookie will boot from SD and CM7 won't. Still trying stuff to see what will fix the problem. Suggestions are welcome.

Gosh, I wish someone could figure this out.
I restored original stock after a full CM7 root and it went fine but I can NOT get a dual boot sd card to work.
It seems to install but when I reboot it shows CM7 screen briefly then always boots to Nook OS.
Tried many many different cards and image writers and CM7's and even a card from my other Nook which I know works.
It will not boot into the CM7 from the SDcard.
Any help?

Problem: ClockworkMod not booting from MicroSD card
What I'm trying to do: Dual-boot CyanogenMod 7 with the stock Nook Color with Cyanogen 7 on a MicroSD card, but without rooting the Nook Color.
What I've done so far:
1. Downloaded ClockworkMod 3.2.0.1 from download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.1-encore.img
2. Downloaded Win32DiskImager from launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/trunk/0.3/+download/win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.3-r27-binary.zip
3. Using Win32DiskImager, flashed ClockworkMod onto the MicroSD card.
4. Ejected MicroSD card.
5. Inserted MicroSD card into Nook Color (which is turned off)
6. Connected Nook Color to PC via USB cable
7. Powered on Nook Color
8. Watched as standard Nook Color boots. Nothing at all displays related to ClockworkMod.
Other troubleshooting thus far
a. I've gone back to step 3, used Windows 7 to just format the SD card to ensure it was blank, and then started with Step 3 again.
b. I've ensured the MicroSD card is set properly into the Nook Color.
c. I've tried holding down the power key on the Nook Color (no effect).
d. Searched these forums via its Search function, and searched via Google (most references use ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8, which a few posts mention does not work on the "blue dot" version of Nook Color.
Misc:
MicroSD card: SanDisk Type-2 4GB
Nook Color (the "blue-dot" version that starts with a 1GB partition for side-loading)
PC: Windows 7 64-bit, built-in SD card reader/writer
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If all you're trying to do is setup a bootable SD card with CM7 on it, and retain the ability to also boot to the stock Nook ROM, try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Based on "What I'm trying to do" and "What I've done so far", you are heading to the completely wrong direction.
A good thing is you had not been able to get into CwM Recovery, otherwise, you made a mess of your NC.
Just stop "what you've done so far" and follow the link that shumash provided above.

Agreed, you don't need clockwork mod for an SD card install. Follow the directions in my signature (adds some details that verygreen leaves out).
Installing image for CM7
I have a nook color that was purchased just a week ago and had 1.4.0 firmware on it. I had updated it to 1.4.1 before noticing that this particular firmware blocked the nook from being hacked. I had read in one of the threads how to revert back to 1.4.0, adding acclaim.zip file to the sd card would do the trick. I tried this and when my nook went to sleep, nothing. I ended up using the nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip with a clockworkmod recovery file and followed steps provided in other threads. Then I was stuck at the "n" screen and could not get any further. With an additional 8 Factory resets and doing the complete restore a second time I was able to get back to what I believe is factory. The difference is, out of the box I had 1.4.0 and now I have 1.3.0. I believe this is fine.
I am wanting to put CM7 with google apps on my nook. I have read a thread that suggested putting an agnostic size image file and when used, my 16gb sd card went down to >200 mb. What is a good image file to use for my card or what am I doing wrong? I am using Win32DiskImager to write my images. I have tried generic-sdcard.img for both 1.1 and 1.3 and the above still happens. I loose over 14gb of space.
I have downloaded the following to use once I have figured out what image to use. update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip for my CM7 and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip for my google apps.
Thanks for all the hard work that is put into making our nook experience the best!!!

If you're installing CM anyhow, the version of B&N running is not important, correct.

Going by that name, you were doing a CM install to SD. If you'd completed that process, it would have made use of the rest of your SD card.

You might want to check out CM 7.2 RC0 Mirage (search here). It incorporated all of the fixes and some optimizations up through CM n253.
I am wanting to install CM to SD for dual boot. I have completed the process for adding the image to my card. The problem is that, after adding the image I now have 115mb on my 16gb card. If, I go ahead and install to my SD card will the space on the card be opened up or do I have to do something else?

If you're getting that 115mb number from your PC card reader on Windows, that's misleading because that's just the size of the boot partition. There are other partitions on the card that take up space and are formatted to be used by CM7. Boot into CM7 on the SD card and see how much space you've got on the /sdcard partition. It should be many gb.
To see how the card is partitioned and the sizes in Windows, get Easeus Partition Master. It's free. If the last partition (the 4th) isn't fully allocated, use Easeus to do it. Don't resize any of the other partitions until you really know what you're doing.

I had the same problem when I had to restore my nook color. I ran the program, in my case the nook system restore file, a second time. After I had done this, my touch screen was back working.

Many thanks. The instructions in your signature worked perfectly. Just curious: is there a freeware image-making software app that doesn't expire after 30 days?
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.

I hacked a pair of NC's for my kids for Christmas, running Mirage CM7 (seemed the most stable, but I could be wrong). I was planning on waiting a bit on the micro SD's and just running off of the 1GB internal memory, but I can't access the songs I put there. Every time I try to pull up the music player or MX player or gallery, it tells me "No SD card".
Well, no duh...
My question is, is there a setting that will allow me to access the internal storage until I'm able to get a couple SD's? Or should I upgrade to CM10? Also, the reboot SD for the Nook Tablet has a neat little repartitioning affect, got me another 6 or 7GB when I used it to install CM10 there---does the NC have a similar repartitioning tool?
Thanks in advance

Yes there is an option to use internal memory. I don't remember the exact menu since I have not used CM7 in a while. But go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, applications, and choose use internal memory. Or something like that. It swaps emmc and sdcard so that apps think internal media is sdcard.

Excellent! Does that mean, though, that I have to swap it back over when I do get the SD cards?
Also, does CM10 on the NC not have to worry about that?

Yes, unless you want to keep it that way. Your new card will show as emmc then.
CM10 has not implemented that yet. And it would have the same problem. Some apps would not run without an SD present.

UPDATE 05/28/13 - Now that verygreen has changed his SD scheme to his new version, this guide should not be used on his ROMs dated 5/27 or newer. Use his new image and follow his new instructions. If you want to see the old instructions click on the Show Content button below.

Many users have had difficulty installing the HD+ CM10/10.1 ROMs using the Original/Legacy (verygreen) SD setup (especially Windows users). I have written this guide and have made some tools that should make it easier. No need for ADB or Linux. I have upgraded the CWM (clockworkmod) recovery to version 6.0.2.8 which includes larger fonts, a brighter screen and the ability to use the internal storage for installing zips and performing backups. It also uses verygreen's process from his early4 zip that aligns partitions at 2M. This guide and tools are for the Original/Legacy SD setup by verygreen, not the Hybrid. If you want the Hybrid, go here.
Setting up the SD
Begin by downloading the files you need either with stock or your PC. You will need my updated SD image file, attached below (do not use the early4 image from the verygreen thread), the CM ROM zip you want to install and the gapps zip to match it. Put the last two zips on your internal media sdcard built into the HD+. You can get the HD+ CM10 ROMs here and the HD+ CM10.1 ROMs here. You can get the gapps zips here, 20121011 for CM10 and 20130301 for CM10.1.
Extract the SD image zip and you will have a 117MB .img file. Burn that to your SD with Win32DiskImager in Windows or the dd command in Linux or OSX. The SD needs to be at least 4GB and preferably a SanDisk Class 4.
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.
When burning is complete, insert the SD into the Nook and boot. It should boot to the cyanoboot logo and sit there for a little while while it creates the other partitions on the SD and formats CM10SDCARD. Then it will end up in CWM for HD+ Original SD. If it does not leave the cyanoboot logo within a reasonable time (it hangs sometimes), just touch the power key and CWM should come up. To use CWM, press the volume up/down keys to move the cursor and the n key to select an item. The power key is the back button.
Installing ROMs
You can use the "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory" option to flash the CM ROM you downloaded earlier to your internal memory sdcard. Then you can flash the right version of gapps to match your ROM.
When you reboot (you need to leave the SD in the slot), the CM ROM should start. You will need to register with Google to set up Play Store.
If you later want to upgrade your ROM to another build, download it to your CM10SDCARD partition using CM. Then boot to CWM and flash it.
Backing Up
This version of CWM lets you back up and restore your setup. You can even back up to internal memory. It does not back up /boot, but does back up /system, /data and /cache.
Swapping EMMC and SDCARD
Some users have installed CM to a small SD card and want their apps to use the large internal media storage to store their data. I have developed a couple of zips to swap EMMC and SDCARD when booted to CM so that internal memory is available to your apps to store their files. One zip will add the swap and one will remove it. Get them attached below.
These zips can be flashed with CWM but will only install to the Original SD with CM. I just fixed a bug in the rev0 and rev1 zips. If you already flashed rev0 or rev1, you need to flash the remove zip before you flash the rev2 fixed version. No need to boot in between.
With rev2, both SDCARD and EMMC will show internal media storage, as will both MTP folders. A new folder, ext_sdcard, will show the external SD media partition.
Updating earlier versions of CWM
Updating prior installs of the Original SD installation to this new version of CWM is easy. Just download the ramdisk zip file attached below and extract the file. Put your old SD setup in your PC and rename the ramdisk.cwm to ramdisk.cwm.bak. Then copy the new ramdisk.cwm you just extracted to the card, replacing the version that was there. Next time you boot to CWM, the 6.0.2.8 version for HD+ Original SD will be there.

Yes, you can use bokbokan's hybrid image to do it the same way for the HD. And I think his standard image does it too.

question...
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else but, I did this using a 32gb card and everything I running smooth. I have a 64gb card that I want to switch it out for. I know it won't be a problem doing the root and all of that again, but I was wondering if anybody knows how to change the 32gb SD card back to normal? When I stick it in my computer all it shows is the boot partition and when I try to format it, it only formats that's partition. Meaning that my 32gb card turns into a worthless 116 mb card. I've tried on windows and Ubuntu and get the same results...
So does anybody have any suggestion?

Yes, use SDFormatter free from the web. It will do it.

Thank you, I will try that and let you know how it works
This is probably a stupid question, but once I've got the SD card set up properly, can I then go ahead and delete the ZIP files that I've installed? Or do I need to keep them kicking around? Figure if I can free up some space, I should.

You can delete them if you want, but I usually always keep them somewhere so I don't have to redownload them if I need to reflash, which very oftern I have to for various reasons. I can always delete them later if space becomes an issue.

*nod* I meant deleting them off the SD card (should have specified). I'd be keeping them on my fileserver to ensure that I can reflash the sdcard to the same version I started with if I need to.

Setting up the SD
Begin by downloading the files you need either with stock or your PC. You will need my updated SD image file, attached below, the CM ROM zip you want to install and the gapps zip to match it. Put the last two zips on your internal media sdcard.

I'm confused by this, what are you referring to as "internal media sdcard"? I used win32 to burn the .img file, then booted into CWM...I'm clearly doing this wrong, because after that, the sdcard only has 117mb and no room to put ROMs on

You are doing it right. 117MB is what it is supposed to have. You do not put the files on that card. You put them on the HD+ (on the internal sdcard).
If you could see that it only had 117 MB, you were not booted to CWM, you were looking at the SD while it was still inserted in the PC. Booted to CWM means it is in the Nook.
When you insert the burned SD into the powered off HD+, then turn it on, it boots to CWM. That is what I mean by booting to CWM.
The internal sdcard means the storage that is built into the HD+ (that is why I call it internal). Boot to stock and download the files with it. They get put on the internal sdcard or "sdcard" as it is called. After you insert the burned card into the HD+ and boot to it, CWM has the ability to flash the zips by reading them from the internal sdcard built into the HD+.
Edit: I just clarified that in the OP. It is hard to anticipate how users will interpret your words in advance.

i dont seem to understand what file is supposed to amount to about 120mb. i extract "cm-10-20121231-UNOFFICIAL-ovation" and amounts to more than 200mb's but it also replaces other files.

You do not extract the cm zip. You extract the image zip which is attached to the post. It is the one that is 120 MB and is the one you burn to the SD with win32diskimager.

thank you for the help. i appreciate it! i can now use my new HD+ (bought it last night) to its full potential.
I just wanted to say that I was suffering from the dreaded "Nook refuses to boot from the SD card" syndrome. I tried three different SD cards burned using four different computers, to no avail. Tried this patch? Worked perfectly. Thanks! :laugh:
SDXC cards viable for this use?
Well, that registration video was a real interesting bit compared to most forums I've ever used. Somebody put a lot of work into that.
I'm noticing a lot of emphasis on Class 4 cards. Impetuous sort that I am, I already obtained a Sandisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC (Class 10/UHS 1) card for this project. Best Buy had a good deal and I was hoping to have a lot of room to work with and it wasn't clear what access to the internal storage would be available or best left alone. Has anyone had success or great problems with this card?
Other than that issue before attempting to execute the install, this is a very helpful thread. Much clearer than verygreen's original. That shouldn't be taken as an insult to verygreen as technical writing for those outside a project is not a skill everyone has or should have. Asking those deep within a project to shift mental gears to operate at the outsider's level can be a waste of resources and is often better delegated to a specialist. And we should be thankful for those specialists when they volunteer like this.

Some have had good success with that card, especially if they use my Hybrid setup which uses less of the SD to operate from.

It appears to be working on the first try. I'm currently syncing my app set from the Play store. It looks like this will be a huge value add for the Nook. I wouldn't have bought it if the full Android option weren't there. I just hope enough of us still buy books from B&N to keep them going.
Thanks.
