[Q] TWRP flash on EMMC or SD - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched the forums, google, and youtube tutorials and I am unable to find any answer on this.
When using TWRP, does it flash to the SD card or the internal storage (EMMC). I see options to mount them, but no definitive of where they will actually be flashed to.
Thanks in advance,
- Matt

TWRP flashes to emmc. SD installs do not use TWRP or CWM to install ROMs.

So I currently have a size agnostic cm7 sd install from a year or so back. I lost my SD card reader so I cannot redo it so I can install cm10.1.
I found that with the goo.im app I can install TWRP and then download and upgrade my rom/gapps. So if I continue on this way, it will write the changes to the EMMC, thus not needing my SD card anymore? (I am okay with this, just want to verify what exactly will happen.)

[Q] Simple process using clockwork to install new ROM?

I want to put CM7 on my nook color. I am VERY confused by everything that is out there because I did the same with my G Tab in a very straightforward manner. I didn't root my G Tab because as it was explained ClockWorkMod (CWM) did the rooting for me. I think that a lot of my confusion is due to the fact that people here are creating bootable SD cards, and I really don't want to do that at this point.
Basically, all I did with my G Tab was to install CWM and copy the ROM file over via USB and installed it with CWM. And that's it. I had CM7 up and running. I did no rooting beforehand - CWM took care of all of this. I did no flashing or writing of image files.
People here are mentioning ROM manager apps, and rooting and downloading apps from the market for this, and all sorts of things. No apps were involved when I installed CM7 in the G Tab. And I could use CWM to select ROMS if I had more than one.
So, basically CWM did all the work. Is there such a simple procedure for the nook color? Where can I get clockworkmod for the nook?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link. But this still involves playing around with bootable SD cards, and if I do that, I might as well install CM7 to a bootable SD card.
Is there no way to avoid SD cards?

I looked into this when I installed CM7 on my NC. I think the answer, basically, is no. You can pick up the latest clockwork recovery from the official site here:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
You may be able to install it with ADB, or maybe you could install ROM manager on the rooted stock Android OS and go from there.
I just decided to go with the flow: make a bootable CM7 SD card, install CM7 on internal memory with ROM Manager, remove card, reboot, install CWM Recovery on internal memory with ROM Manager, reformat SD card using my phone.

[Q] nook question

hello, ive asked this question here once before but idk why but im stressing out over this lol ok.....so my nook runing color cyanogen mod 7 has an internal and external memory. the micro sd i have has the CWM and its only 2gb and is full, so i bought another micro sd but 4gb, the sd card with CWM always boots into Recovery so i bought another card. is it safe for the device to use one card and then when i need to update pop the first sd card in? or...do you guys just pop the sd out on boot then put it back in once booted?
Sounds like you've installed CM onto internal memory (eMMC). If so, there's no harm swapping the car out, so long as you unmount it when the unit is powered on.
If, instead, you've got CM on an external (SD) card, then it just won't boot. Again, no harm done.
its on the sd card, but can use another sd card not cwm so i can keep it in there and use it? and if theres a update ill just pop the sd card with cwm on it

Yes, we know that, we know the NC has internal memory and an uSD slot for additional storage.

It should ALWAYS boot into CwM Recovery, if not, big problem.
so i bought another card.

Another one? 3rd one?
is it safe for the device to use one card and then when i need to update pop the first sd card in?

Yes, use one uSD card for additional storage, leave it in the NC.
Save one uSD as a flashable CwMR card for update/backup ROM.
or...do you guys just pop the sd out on boot then put it back in once booted?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Leave the "normal" uSD in the NC.
"normal" meaning not the flashable CwMR.
Sorry for so many questions thank u so much ur a genious! But one more before I leave, do I have to update the Rom? The Rom I have is 7.0.3 and there is a newer one 7.1 do I have to install it? Cause I'm happy how it is
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
7.0.3 is very old
7.1 is the current stable
Latest ROM that has the love of many members is MiRaGe KANG, 7.2.
If you are happy with what you have now, you don't have to update new ROM
Ok and if I want to update I just flash a new one?
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
ok i put the 7.1 and flashed it then it said installation aborted
Did you tell us where you do install the CM7? On eMMC or uSD?

Your previous posts indicated that you had actually installed to internal memory not uSD.
There are two ways we can be certain what state you are in.
1) If you leave the card out and it will reboot into CM7 then you have installed on internal.
2) If you started with the eyeballer clockwork recovery image when you installed then you did an internal install. If you started with a VeryGreen size agnostic SD card then you installed onto SD card.
Assuming you have done an internal install then you do not want to leave the installer SD card in as this is a boot SD which will boot into clockwork recovery. Instead you just want a freshly formatted SD which is then used to hold your normal data.
When you want to update an internal install then you don't actually need to remove the SD card at all. Instead get the ROM Manager app from the market. Select the function to flash Clockwork recovery. This put an alternate clockwork boot on the internal memory and only needs to be done once. To do an update put the new ZIP at the top level of the SD card then use ROM Manager to select the zip to install. Select the wipe dalvik option and continue. The Nook will reboot into recovery and install the new ROM and then reboot with the new ROM. You can also manually get into clockwork recovery by powering up with the N key pressed. This will give you a boot slection allowing you to select normal boot or recovery. The latter will give you the full recovery menu.
If your install is actually on the SD card then you do an update by copying the new zip onto the boot partition which is actually what the PC will see if you put the card back into a PC. The new zip must be renamed to start with update-cm- and end with .zip When you reboot with this and hold the N key down then you can enter a simplified recovery which will install the update zip.

That's the reason why I keep asking askers where they do install CM7 to.
W/o knowing, I don't want to lead them into the wrong direction.
thanks for that great info, you nailed all my questions great

Why is everything force closing?

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.
Edit: Dedicated topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
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).

edit: Its been awhile since i made a sd rom....so far i have made the sdcard from This and i dont exactly understand how to do the rest of it properly, my nook color is on the cm7.2 kang build with mirage kernel and in Leap's instructions it says
leapinlar said:
So the procedure to get this working is to prepare a verygreen SD using the image file attached to my SD installation instructions thread here (generic-sdcard...). Then boot it at least once with the SD installed in the Nook so the SD can partition itself. If you have an existing verygreen SD prepared, you can skip those two steps. Copy the zip files to somewhere that recovery can find them. If you use the newest versions of CWM or TWRP recovery they can read files from emmc media storage. Boot to recovery and insert the prepared verygreen SD into the Nook. Flash the ROM zip to the SD. It will format the system and data partitions on the SD and install the ROM. Boot to the SD and the new stock ROM should load. Follow the directions to register with B&N. Once you have registered you can stop there if you are satisfied with plain stock. But be warned, if B&N decides to update to a new version in the future, it may mess up whatever you have installed on emmc. Therefore I recommend that you flash the Block Updates zip which blocks OTA updates. If you flash Manual Nooter you do not have to flash Block Updates separately since it is included in Manual Nooter. To install Block Updates, Manual Nooter or OC/apps2SD support, flash the zips to the SD with recovery just like you did the ROM. If you flash Manual Nooter, it has gapps and Market with it so you must register them with Google. And you need root if you want to the OC and apps2SD support, plus you will need a program like SetCPU to adjust the processor.
You can get the modified 1.4.3 B&N stock ROM zip here, the modified Manual Nooter zip here, the modified OC/apps2SD zip here, and the modified Block Updates zip here (all four modified for verygreen SD installation).

I have done the partitioning on the sdcard so it now has the 4 partitions in it....the nook is running CWM 3.2.0.1 emmc recovery. I've downloaded all 4 zip files, but i only plan on putting the stock nook, and manual nooter (leap says it includes the update blocker) on it
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
You need to update your emmc recovery to a newer version so that you can flash those zips from internal memory (emmc media). You will run into problems finding the files with 3.2.0.1 since you have to take your normal SD out and put your verygreen SD in.
So flash this zip:

Then copy the downloaded files to emmc media, boot to the new CWM and select the files from internal memory and flash them to your inserted verygreen SD.

I have built in safeguards to make sure that won't happen. If no SD is in the slot, it won't flash, if the SD in the slot is not formated with 4 partitions, it won't flash. And when it finally does flash, it is hard coded to go to SD. Flash away. First ROM then a little later after you have registered and let it finish loading books, the manual nooter.

It took me a very long time to download the books and I have a fast connection. I think B&N just pushes them out slow for stock. Other stuff downloads fast, like once you are rooted and you download apps from play store.

Black screen of death

I used ManualNooter for my nook. As I recently installed a bunch of apps and ebooks, I thought I should back up my device. I went to Rom Manager for back up which then brought me to CWM when it was done to reboot. When I reboot it was stuck in boot loop. I turned the nook, then back on and whenever i reboot i get black screen of death. I can boot to CWM by holding all three buttons down. I tried wiping data, factory reset, reinstalling nooter zip, yet every time I reboot, I get black screen of death. Can someone help me figure out how to fix this? Thx.

My computer no longer recognizes the Nook (I have an HP laptop running Windows 8). Prior to the black screen, the computer did detect the nook when plugged in with the USB cable. How can I now copy the zip file to flash through CWM recovery? I have version 3.2.0.1 installed? I don't understand why trying to make a back-up file through the ROM manager would cause such failure? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Should I now be trying the verygreen method via SD card? Apologies for the panic.

Make a bootable CWM card as described in my item A10. Then copy the 1.4.3 rom zip downloaded from A15 to the card. Put the card in the Nook, boot to CWM and flash the ROM zip.
Sometimes files get corrupted when writing them to the Nook. Obviously that is what happened with ROM Manager.

What size SD card do I need? I tried copying the 1.4.3 rom zip (unzipped, used 7 zip to extract the other files) onto a 8 GB sandisc and a 16GB and both tell me the card does not have enough space. I've used Win32diskimager-v.07 (the link from manual nooter no longer works), I copied the CWM-5.5.04 image to the SD card. I had no trouble copying manual nooter onto the 8gb sandisc. I used a SD formatter program to format and wipe the disk before using it for this. Thanks.

I guess I should modify my instructions. The 1.4.3 zip is so large that you need to use the 6.0.1.2 version of the bootable CWM SD. It has a little more room for the zip. It does not matter which size card you start out with.

I'm back in business! It worked - whew! I had trouble with the 1.4.3 zip, so I used DizzyDen's 1.4.1. I was stuck in boot loop the first time I rebooted, then used the 5-6-7 partition fix zip, reinstalled the 1.4.1 zip and it worked like a charm. I also used the newer version of CWM you advised which was smaller in size, it's all on the 16gb SD card with no issue.
One last question, now that the stock rom is in order, am I safe to flash CM10? I'd prefer not to use manualnooter again as you said in a previous post, CM10 is leaps and bounds above nooter. If you think it's okay to flash, do I have to do the 8 count reset to fully wipe?
Many, many thanks for your clear, detailed instruction and patience!

Glad you got it working. No, you don't need to reset. Just flash that 567 zip again and flash the CM10 rom. All should be ok.

When I was last working on this, I had my external hard drive plugged into the computer via the usb port. I was backing up the files that were on my micro sd card, I had a 16gb in my droid bionic, I swapped it with the 8 gb I had in the nook when I couldn't get the older version of CWM on the card. Now when I plug in my external hard drive, all I see are the win32 imaging files on it. I take it, this process formats over everything plugged into a usb port? I've lost all my kids photos and videos, I can cry I'm so mad at myself for letting this happen. I've tried the two laptops we have and I get the same list of files in the folders. I guess this is one of those mistakes you only make once.
Oh no! Yes, burning a card writes over everything. There are some utilities that may let you rescue your old files, but maybe not. I would set it aside till you find out. I think the free MiniTool Partition Wizard has some paid companion products that may help.
Edit: just reread your post. It does not write over everything plugged into the USB. You just made a mistake when you burned once and selected the external drive letter. The same solution applies. Find a disk partition repair utility.

I finally found the time to do this. I flashed the 567 zip, then went to the CM10 download page for the 414 nightly encore zip. I received two errors:
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:error in /sdcard/cm-10-20130414-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
What does this mean?
Thank you.

I suspect a bad download of the CM zip. Try downloading again.

You were right (of course!). I took the 407 zip and it flashed without issue. Very exciting! Thank you!

Am I able to copy files to the SD card while it's running CM10? I wanted to copy some pdfs and ebub books to read and when I try to copy to the SD card it says the Nook is not responding or disconnected. I don't think this is a driver issue as I can see the Nook on my computer and can see the files stored either on internal storage or SD. When I'm in CM10 and go to file manager, I can only see what is on the SD card, I can't access any of my files that were on EMMC. That's fine, I have copies of my ebooks saved on my laptop, I just can't figure out how to read them now. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

You need to be a little more specific.
There are two methods to connect to your PC with CM10 using the USB cable, MTP and USB mass storage. They are selectable in settings. Go to settings, storage, menu and USB computer connection. MTP is default and shows the Nook as just devices in Windows Explorer with no drive letters. If you choose USB mass storage, they show as drive letters in Windows explorer. But they do not contain anything until you activate them by touching a button on your Nook. And the button does not show if Android degugging is activated in settings.
So that is why I say you need to be more specific.
You say you can't copy to the SD. What are you seeing on your PC, drive letters or just labels that say internal SD and sdcard? And describe a little more the errors.
The reason you can't see emmc with the file manager that comes with CM10 is by default it is in safe mode. You have to change a setting to get it in root mode. Either get a different file manager like the free Root Browser Lite or change the setting in the CM10 file manager. To change the setting, press menu while it is open and you will see three dots in the lower right. Touch that. Go to settings, general settings and access mode and change it from safe to root. Then you will be able to see emmc.

I think my quick reply didn't post. Anyway, thanks, again, for your help. When I went to transfer files from my external hard drive to the Nook, I was using the wrong lap top and then realized I had to update usb drivers which helped. I then followed your other steps to change settings, including safe to root, and I can now see all my files.
Can you recommend a file manager? The default one is a bit cumbersome.
Thanks again for everything.

If you want a free one, I recommend Root Browser Lite. For paid, I like Root Explorer.

I'd like to update to the May 4 nightly and new gapps, should I run the 567 partition zip again before flashing? If so, should I wipe cache and dalvik as well? Are you still using ADW launcher? I'm using Nova. Thanks.

The 5/4 nightly is CM10.1. The version you were running earlier was CM10. You should be able to just flash the 5/4 nightly with only wiping the dalvik-cache. No other wiping or partition zips. Since CM10.1 requires a newer gapps (20130301), you should flash that too.
Yes, I still use ADW, but only because I am used to it and do not want to try something new.

Is there any difference in performance running CM10.1 off emmc vs SD card which I'm presently doing with the April 7 nightly? I have some vague idea that I read a while back once you put CM10 on emmc you could no longer return to stock?
If I stay on SD card is there any harm in trying (I think the name is Dean) method to adjust internal partition for more room for apps? I've run out of room on SD card? Or is using Titanium to move files a safer alternative?
My kids are now using the Nook, I won an ASUS tablet from livinginkaos over at the Droidrzr forum. He had a give-away while fundraising for a root exploit bounty for JellyBean which Dan Rosenberg created. Method works using Linux Ubuntu, that forum is awesome. I was singing your praises to them. Android forums have the greatest support! Thx.
