[Q] CM7 to eMMC, but dual-boot stock 1.2 from SD card?

Is it possible to install CM7 to the internal eMMC but allow for the ability to dual-boot a rooted version of the stock 1.2 NC OS from the SD card? What about even triple-boot another OS from the SD card in this scenario, such as the Honeycomb ROM. Thanks!

awesome! thanks

Racks, I've tried downloading and unzipping that ROM on two different machines (desktop XP box and laptop with Windows 7-64bit using both Winrar and system zip/unzip) and have gotten an error unzipping.
Any ideas? Also, is this ROM rooted 1.2 or does it just copy w/e is on your EMMC? (I thought you couldn't use CWM without rooting on 1.2 but I read a thread recently that said you could..)

[Q] Update SD card version of Phiremod

Ok, I have looked for a solution to this issue and have not found one.
I am running Phiremod 7.0 on an SD card with STOCK B&N on the emmc.
I love the update to 7.1 HOWEVER, I want to keep all of my apps and other setting and not have to completely reconstruct the nook.
I know that if I was running on the emmc the 7.1 build would update with out problems.
How do I UPDATE the SD running one with out changing the emmc Stock load.
I have already had to rebuild my stock 2 times.

How did you make the phiremod card?

I have two versions:
One is the dual boot with HC and Phiremod on it. As described here: “[ROMS]Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb Image for SDcard [UPDATE-6/22]”
The other is using the “[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards” procedure.
My current build is the Dual boot Ph/HC.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

nook hd+ and cm 10.1

I was able to load cwm early 4 and 10.1 from 1/7 onto a 32 GB sandisk card. The nook boots up fine' however, when I load gapps the nook gives me the message ....setup wizard has closed unexpected...
I push OK but it goes back to the same message.
Am I updating from the card incorrectly or do I have the wrong gapps file? I am using the gapps from nook HD+ cm 10 which appear to be the same gapps file from the nook HD cm10.1 which installed fin. Thanks in advance

Try reinstalling cm10.1 on top of itself. I had the same problem with aosp keyboard force closing and that fixed it for me

Actually CM10.1 has its own version of gapps that works better for it, gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip. The old version should work if already set up, but the correct version should work better.

Your gapps suggestion seems to have done the trick. After it booted it went right to setup.
The gapps suggestion might be put into the thread for nook hd+ cm10.1 card setup as i'm sure it would help many people.
Thank you for helping leapinlar.

CM10 Internal EMMC

Is it possible to install CM10 on the internal EMMX of Nook HD. I know that it is possible to bypass the Nook HD bootloader to prevent it from checking if all the files match. I want to know how to do that with bootloader.
Thanks

Yes but is it even possible like i just saw a post of that. Now i want to start like hacking my Nook cause my exams are finished

Of course anything is possible, figure out a way to unlock the bootloader?

It is possible. Hack away. Just don't bug the rest of us always asking for how to do it when most of us don't have a clue. Very few do. It takes some very talented people to figure it out. Do you understand how to read, modify and write code? That is what it is going to take.

What is a locked bootloader?

I do understand how to code. But I don't understand how these systems are set up.
Can anybody explain exactly what "locking" the bootloader means? Is the boot code in the Nook's OMAP ROM designed to check for a cryptographic signature in images it loads from EMMC storage? Even though it doesn't make any such check for images loaded from the SD card? (The OMAP Wiki doesn't seem to mention anything about checking signatures.)
I tried overwriting the first 8 MB of /dev/block/mmcblk0 on my HD with the partition table and VFAT boot partition from a CWM Recovery SD card. It would not boot, even though the the HD boots perfectly well off the card.

I think you could install CM10 to internal memory on the HD now, can't you? Just not on the HD+ yet?

sox again lol but for CM10 how to install GApps. I did the boot from the "cm10-sdcard-imager.img". Do I now install CWM on it with "sdcard-cwm-hummingbirdv4.zip" file and install the GApps.
Thank You

I think this one is that the CM10 DATA is stored on the internal memory and the rome stored on the sdcard

You are right about the bootloader checking crypto codes on emmc. And it does on SD too. Verygreen has just found a loophole to defeat the check. That is your challenge, find a loophole to defeat the lock on emmc. Study verygreen's code and you may get a clue.

I assume you mean use emmc (internal memory media storage) as "sdcard". Usually with CM10 you can add a simple file to swap emmc and the real sdcard. But because of the way emmc is mounted on this device, that does not work. Why do you want it? There is a work around if you really need it.

Yes, emmc is the thing i mentioned. I dont see it on my nooo then cant use it as storage.
Could u mind to show me the way to work around?

If you just want to use it as media storage, it is available as "emmc" in your file manager. You can copy files there. And you can sometimes set your applications to use "emmc" instead of "sdcard". Is that what you want to know?

What file manager are you using? The one that comes with CM10? If so go to settings in the lower right and click on it. Then general, then access mode and select root. Then you can go to sdcard0, which is internal storage. That file manager is very bad. I recommend you get root browser lite in play store.

I think you thought RootExplorer.

Process just to get root? Can 10.1 be flashed and install apps to internal storage?

I have discovered an apparent reason for sporadic lag issues is the random library syncing. I want to freeze the app with Titanium.
What is the process just to get permanent root so I can use Titanium? I have the image card I used to install the Extras.zip to allow unknown sources. Can I use that for the process?
Update: After reading more, it is maybe too easy when rooted with 2.1 stock to alter the system and cause a stock reset. I wonder if something as simple as using Titanium to freeze the Library and other apps is enough to cause this? Perhaps just installing Titanium alone could as well....
Perhaps another option would be to start from scratch and install 10.1. Is there a way to install 10.1 and still let apps install to the internal storage?

The answer to the rooting question I think you figured out. It is possible to root, then make some changes while rooted, then disable root when finished. Then there is not a danger of inadvertently resetting later.
But I think that TB needs root to be able to freeze apps. Actually some system apps can be disabled in settings/applications without being rooted. It is the same as freezing in TB. And just freezing an app does not cause a reset.
If you want to install CM10.1 so that you use internal storage to store installed apps, use the Hybrid SD. You do not say whether you have an HD or HD+. There are different threads for each.

HD+. I would like to use 10.1 as my installed internal OS, but keep app storage internal. Prefer using the sd for media only. Easy to use different cards then.

Then follow this procedure I just wrote for another user. It will install CM10.1 on internal memory and you can use an ordinary SD to store your media files.

Excellent! I was looking for a sure fire way to have a custom recovery & flash roms ala my phones or other tablets. Thanks!

Ok, so I didn't realize this was just an HD+ only method. I tried flashing the native EMMC & it failed on the assertion that it was Ovation (I guess code name for the HD+? New to the nooks).
Is there a pure overwrite stock with CM10 for HD? I've made a stock back up, familiar with CWM/TWRP, but now I want to flash CM for HD!
