Quick question...
If I install CWR via Rom Manager in an SD CM7 install does it take over the recovery partition of the SD card image or does it install to the eMMC recovery?
I'd like to keep the eMMC stock at this point since running off the SD is working so well now.
Bump...

I was wondering the same thing. Well, I haven't tried rebooting without the microSD, maybe I can do that and see if what happens or if I can boot into CWR. That would mean it's on the emmc.
Can anyone possibly help me out with this?
I used to have CM7 on my Nook, with root using the original partition from v1.0
I decided to go to CM9, but wanted to have the new partition system. I installed 1.4 without touching CWM, booted into it but the partitions did not change.
Then I decided to use this topic's files to change the partition sizes. Followed instructions to the letter.
Then I installed CM9 as usual (using CWM) but the device only boots into CWM.
I also tried to go CM7 (same results) and even the official 1.4 (same results).
Any ideas?
I inherited a failed dual-boot install, Nook BNRV200-A.
It starts and runs perfectly from SD card. But nothing successfully starts and runs from internal; mostly just boot loops. When I try to get into recovery, I get the dual-boot selector menu. This works OK, but if I select to boot recovery through it, no recovery comes up. If I try the trick with holding down both volume + and volume -, it just boot loops.
I would like to completely blow away all the internal partitions, recreate them and then restore standard boot, some ROM and CWM recovery. Is there a (current) procedure out there to do this? Happy to do this through ADB if somebody could tell me what to type.
The main thing is the dual-boot menu itself. I have tried reformatting /boot from CWM, but the durned thing still comes back.
(Wish we had something like the RUU or NVFlash utilities...)
TIA,
glg
Possible solution
Try following this guide ...( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275859 )(eMMC 2/22 Dual Boot Guide 2.0 ) make sure you download all the needed files too.. It will allow you to wipe and repartition the internal eMMC .... then sets up a dual boot internal for you. Works slick and easily... Takes 20 - 30 min to do and is rock solid.
I used it and I am running CM7.2 (Mirage) on primary and B&N 1.4.1 on Alt boot... works great and is soooo fast (works great using Nook Tweaks to overclock to 1300)
Try it ... I think it will work fine

Thanks for the quick reply. I did try that (at least the part about Revert from Dual-boot. I don't want a dual-boot setup).
So far, I have a working CM9 setup that successfully reboots and will now boot into recovery. But, for some reason, it doesn't recognize the SD card. I think it still has something to do with the partition table being messed up.

I recently went from a dual boot back to single boot. I *think* this is what I did:
Ran revert dual boot zip
Rebooted into recovery. Important to reboot!
Ran repartition zip to 2 GB data/4 GB media (you can go back to stock 1 GB/5 GB if you prefer)
Did the usual wipe everything, clear caches
Installed rom of choice
Reboot
Worked just fine for me.

These steps were very helpful. I had an additional problem where the SDcard I was trying to use was formatted oddly. Instead of a single Primary partition, it was a /logical/ partition on an extended partition. Probably the vendor loaded some crapware on there in the empty space. So it never was seen by the Nook. When I deleted the logical and extended partitions and created a single 8GB primary partition, and formatted it as FAT32, the card was usable. Totally up and running.
Thanks,

Here's the situation
I bought a rooted nook color ( bnrv200) which has a version of CM7 on it already.
I want to erase the current version and load a completely fresh install myself ( my first time by the way.)
I followed this video to the letter and had no problems with the process youtube com/watch?v=88qRbLLEAPQ[/url] all seems to go well.
Here is the process if you don't want to watch the vid:
put Clockworkmod 4g_clockwork-3.0.2.8 img on SD card
put CM7.2 zip on sd card
put google apps gapps-gb-20110307-signed on sd card
put sd card in nook color boot
format system/data/cache.
install CM7 from sd card all goes fine
install gapps from sd card all goes fine
choose "reboot system now"
reboots to OLD install !!!
BUT when I reboot the OLD install is still there. I have formatted everything possible and have no idea what I am doing wrong??

You are probably using too old of a CWM. The older versions do not wipe the newer nooks properly. You can get the latest CWM on my tips thread linked in my signature. Also you can wipe completely by flashing my format partitions 5, 6, and 7 zip. Then you can flash the new CM7.2 zip with the new CWM.

OUTSTANDING I am now on my way to nook color happiness thanks so much for your help. If you are ever in Chicago I owe you a drink
thanks you are star.
Hello,
I used to have a NC successfully running CM7 until it crashed a few weeks ago.
After the crash, in my enthusiasm to fix it, I MUCKED IT UP royally. It tried to boot showing the CWM logo for a moment, then went to black screen.
I tried following the forums to fix the issue, but I only made it worse. Long story short, I may have deleted all my partitions, including partition 3; but, with Leapinlar's help (thanks so much to you for your patience) I was able to flash partitions 1,4,5,6,7,8. Then partition2 with a specially written zip file (again, thanks Leapinlar). At this point, my NC boots directly to CWM 5.5.0.4 on the emmc.
I am ready to try and rebuild, but I am on information overload. I want to know:
1. Which set of files (boot, cwm, cm10 and gapps) works together for a relatively seamless install?
2. Can these files be loaded on a blank NC. Meaning, do I need to get it back up to factory settings before I can modify it again?
3. Should I donate it to one of you to use as a tester and just buy a Google 10 or ASUS Infinity?
I plan on deleting all files except the latest ones I got from Leapinlar's post. I am not asking to reinvent the wheel at this post, just that I be directed to where the best option rests.
Thanks for you help,
Gilligan's sister - Ms. Y
OK, I recommend the 04/21 version of CM10 which you can get here. And for gapps, you need the 20121011 version here. And for emmc CWM, I recommend the 5.5.0.4 version you can get here. Just flash all of these with the 5.5.0.4 you currently have on emmc. Do all three before you reboot. No need to do any wiping or anything else. Hopefully our partition repairs did everything right and it boots to the new CM10.
As far as getting another device, I would wait until you see how you like this repaired one. If it does not work or you are not happy with it, then consider another device. As far as another device, I like the new Nook HD+, but I don't know how it compares with the others you mentioned.

Does flashing order matter?
CM10 -> GApps -> 5.5.0.4

Any messages during the three reboots? Or does it just say loading... and reboots to cyanoboot? And the last time when it goes to black screen, does it say loading... first?

Did you try holding the n button during the first time the cyanoboot logo showed? That should bring up the boot menu. Then select emmc recovery and see if CWM comes up. If it does try doing a "wipe data/factory reset". The reboot and see what you get. If it still hangs, boot back to CWM and reflash CM10 and boot again.

Try redownloading the CM10 zip and reflashing. Maybe even the 4/14 version.

I downloaded cm-10-20130421-Nightly-encore.zip again

Does the fact that I am using two (2) 16g SanDisk SDCards make a difference? I could not load the zip files on SDCard 1 because there was not enough space.

There still may be something wrong with your emmc partitions. Why don't you try an NC SD install per my thread linked in my signature.
