I've had a lot of success creating a bootable CM7 using the size agnostic preparation instructions. (Here) I want to keep the Nook at stock, for a variety of reasons. Anyway, I created a very nice installation on a 16gb uSD card and did a lot of work setting up LP+ and my hundred-odd android apps. (I also have an Evo 4G). I was fortunate enough to get a 32gb uSD at a great price and want to move my installation over to that. The most successful by making an image with the Win32DriveImage and flashing that back to the 32gb uSD card, which leaves a large area of un-partitioned space. I've tried a couple downloaded tools but have been unsuccessful. Is there a command I can use in Terminal Emulator to to do that? I know I can use the agnostic procedure to start from scratch, but I'd really hate to do that.
The only thing that would make starting over is if someone can point me to instructions that would allow me to have an installation that boots from uSD and has fully functional CWR and Rom Manager. I love how it works on my EVO to download and install updates with a couple clicks. (Everything I've tried there seems to mess with the core Nook).
Thanks a lot!

Use Minitool Partition Wizard, or another windows partition manager to expand the last storage partition.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried a few partition managers and run into the same problem including with MiniTool. It will start the process of expanding or copying and expanding in one step, but it will eventually say "file system error" just before it finishes. It suggests repairing the file system, but none of the tools can do this with the ext4 partition. Still trying though. Gonna give the Acronis partition manager a whirl.

You can edit partitions with fdisk from the terminal emulator. I suggest googling, it's a pretty old school tool and isn't very friendly. You should easily be able to resize your "sd" partition with that. Actually more accurately you should be able to delete that last partition and then create a bigger one in it's place. won't keep your data, but you can just copy it over to your computer and resize, then copy back.
Another option would be gparted which comes with basically every live linux cd ever. That one can actually do true resizes and should handle ext4 partitions easily (it is a linux file system after all)

You don't need to start over. Get a new uboot.bin for your cards boot partition from here.
Then get the clockwordmod kernel and ramdisk from the zip at the end of this post. Put the uImage and uRamdisk on the sd card as uAltImg and uAltRam.
Now when you choose sd:alternate from the boot menu it will boot you into clockwork.
Thank you so much. I think that will do the trick.

OK. All is well and the dual-boot solution is super-convenient. But I'm a little perplexed as to how to work with CWM in this environment. Ideally I'd like this to work just as it does on my EVO, Rom Manager lets me know there is a new version, I select it, it downloads asks if an want Gapps and backup (yes please) then it does its thing. Maybe that is way too much to ask. If so, then the main things I need to know are how to instal an updated build that I download separately? Do I just copy it to the root of the boot partition.
Sorry for being such a n00b with the nook. Its funny but I'm much more confident messing with my phone, which if bricked, is pretty catastrophic. (LOL)
The instructions for updating CM7 for the agnostic build is in the OP's post for that build.
"How to update to a new build:
put the new build you want to try on the first partition. (the name must be update-cm-*.zip or cm_encore_full*.zip or just update-*.zip)
Boot from the SDcard in the recovery mode (see above) and the new snapshot would be installed.
The partition layout would be preserved, filesystems are NOT reformatted, so your data should be safe."
Also, Easeus Partition Manager is supposed to be able to resize partitions w/o destroying data. YMMV, of course. I used it to extend ext 4 but prior to putting anything there.
Didn't have any luck with easus either, but ended up using a gparted boot which worked great. Normally I would use recovery nandroid to backup the rom before installing the updated, but when I did that by booting into alternate, I ended up backing up the nook rom to the root partition, so I think the safest thing to do is to use win32diskmanager to image the entire sd card.

So, just to make absolutely sure, if I already have CM7 installed on an SD card, which I've been using as a daily driver, installing apps, downloading Kindle books, PDFs, and the like, but I want to put CWMR onto the SD card, the steps you outlined should be OK?
NOTE: I know, I know, if I'm confused I probably shouldn't be screwing around with things...But the size-agnostic SD CM7 method was so bloodless that I thought the other stuff would be pretty easy to do. For whatever reason, adding stuff like the OC kernel and CWMR has been a little confusing.
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.

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.

I'm running CM7 off of an SD card. I believe if I flash CWM Recovery from ROM Manager, it will flash it onto the eMMC ... is that correct?
Also, if I update the su binary from within Superuser apk, will it update it on the SD or eMMC?
Also, what would happen if I formatted SD from within CM7? Would it format the WHOLE SD or just the FAT32 partition that CM7 sees as the SD card?
My Nookcolor is not rooted or modified at all. I've never booted into the stock rom to be exact.
Thanks for the help.

You are right, flashing from ROM Manager puts it on emmc. And flashing things from CWM recovery normally flashes things to emmc. There are special modified versions of CWM that will flash things to SD, but I'm sure you don't have one of those. If you are interested in getting one that you put on SD so that you can backup your system, etc, just search for alternate CWM recovery and my name. I posted a version. (Edit: look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22719241)
Updating su will put it on the system you are running at the time.
I think formatting the SD will format the whole card, if not at least your boot partition. I would not try it. You can put it in your PC and use partition software to format just partition 4 if you want just that sdcard partition cleared.
Hi everyone!
I just got CM7 (latest stable release) installed on on external sdhc card. I have wifi issues with CM7 (and looking around the forums tells me that CM7 can be finicky with certain routers) so I would love to be able to use Nook's stock ROM (4.1.4) when I am having issues.
But, when I am on NC ROM, I don't see anything except the small boot partition on the SD and when I am on CM7, I don't get access to this boot partition. I am wondering if there is a way to either create another partition or make the currently existing partitions accessible on both ROMS so that I can share data between them.
I am a n00b without any Android experience so thanks in advance for your patient responses.

If whatever you have on emmc is rooted, you can manually edit it. If you have unrooted stock, then you need to flash the zip since without root you cannot edit those files manually. And I did mean item B3. Each item is a different topic, they are not steps. One topic does not depend on another. Just do B3 and no others if you want.
Yes, item B3. My mistake...
I should be able to do flash the zip from my current CM7 SD card's boot partition, shouldn't I?
So I put the update-stockemmc-vold-fstab-modified-for-partition4.zip file in the boot partition of the SD card, rebooted to Recovery mode and then booted to NC's stock ROM. NC is still using the tiny boot partition on the SD card as my external storage instead of the much larger CM7 partition. This was the same partition that was under 'My Files / Memory card' before I flashed so nothing has changed. I did this twice to double-check.
Am I doing this wrong?

Yes you are doing it wrong. You need to flash that file with a CWM card, not put in the boot partition of your SD. And since you did that, you need to re-flash your latest ROM on SD to correct your mistake. (I will edit my instructions to make it a little clearer that you use CWM to flash that file.)
I got NC stock ROM to see my SD card partition by following item A10. That is most excellent and thanks again!
Unfortunately, I no longer see the boot partition when I attach NC to my computer whether NC is running off stock ROM or CM7. My guess is that this is due to my failed attempt to flash from my CM7 SD card yesterday. Am I right?
I thought I could reverse that by copying the update-stockemmc-vold-fstab-return-to-stock.zip file to CM7's boot (and then booting to the recovery mode) but that seemed to have nothing.
If I understand your previous message correctly, I should re-do my entire SD card but... I have already spent a few hours downloading and customizing the Android apps. Is there a way to preserve all that before Win32diskimager destroys the contents of the SD card?
Is there a way to manually mount the /etc folder from a unix prompt and alter the file?
Does it even matter if I don't see boot while I attach NC to a computer? Are there any caveats to 'let it be'?
Questions, questions and more questions...
That leads me to the obvious question, is there a book that explains Android to someone who is not interested in programming it but wants to understand the architecture and design of the OS (and custom ROMs)?
Thanks for being patient with all these n00b questions.

You do not need or want to re-set up the whole SD installation. Just put the same CM7 zip file back in the boot partition and boot to SD recovery. It will put the correct vold.fstab back on the SD. You will not lose any settings or apps you have already set up. (And putting the return to stock zip there was also the wrong thing to do. The vold.fstab for stock and CM7 are different. But don't worry, it will fix that too.)
You are not supposed to see the boot partition on the PC when you plug the nook in with the cable. You are only supposed to see 'emmc' and 'sdcard'. Under the original setup, your stock system thought the boot partition was 'sdcard' and that was why you saw it on your PC. Since you modified stock to see partition 4 as 'sdcard', partition 4 is what the PC sees, not the boot partition.
Most people have to physically take the card out of the nook and put it in the PC to see the boot partition on the PC. If you don't want to do that, use my script in item B4. But since you are on CM7, you will not be adding many things to the boot partition to install with SD recovery in the future. So it is probably best to leave things be.
And I don't know of any books to help you.

That is excellent news!
A bit of playing around with Astro tells me that I was wrong about seeing the 'CM7 SDCARD' partition when I was on CM7 ROM. I am only seeing the boot. Anyway, I am going to flash the CM7 ROM again and I am hoping it would fix everything.
Also, yes, I can see the boot partition when I put the SD card directly on my computer but I was also able to see it when I hooked up the NC to my computer via USB before I did my unintended tweaks but... I'll survive.
I'll be back after I flash. (Famous last words??)
Mission accomplished!
Thanks again for all your help.
For future reference after you alter stock's fstab... all you have to do is:
mkdir /sdcard/boot (only have to do this one time)
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot (do this every time you want to put something on the boot partition)
put anything you want on boot partition in /sdcard/boot

Yes, there is one big advantage to using that method. I think it allows the boot partition to be seen not only on the nook, but also on the PC when you plug in the usb.

We could probably come up with a symlink to /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to /sdcard/boot and avoid having to mount it everytime as well.

Thank you Dizz, your suggestion got me to thinking and I was able to come up with an init.d bash script that does the trick. I just temporarily mounted sdcard and created the sdcard/boot directory and the mounted the boot partition to it, then unmounted sdcard so it could be mounted again by the system later in the boot sequence.
The only problem is now sdcard will not mount on the PC using UMS mass storage. Must be because of having a second mount within the mount. But it does mount with MTP. But that may be acceptable. I will test some more, including using Goo Manager tomorrow.
EDIT (6-21): Goo Manager works. But I think I have figured out why sdcard is not mounting in UMS. Once it is mounted in my script and the boot partition mounted under it, it cannot be unmounted. And since it cannot be unmounted, it cannot be mounted later by the system as vold. If it cannot be mounted as vold, it does not show in UMS. For now I think I will leave it as I have it in Rev 2 of my script (symlinking to the root directory with full r/w permissions). If people want to see the boot partition on the PC, just use my modified for CM9 NookColorUMS available in my tips thread.

Help!
When CM7 is running, my computer is no longer mounting any of the partitions when I connect NC to my computer via the USB cable.
If the NC stock ROM is running, my computer mounts all three partitions (MyNook..., boot and CM7SDcard) but calibre is not recognizing the external partitions for transfers.
Further, when I boot to my NC stock ROM, I am no longer seeing my SD card's contents in the NC's library.
This may have something to do with the fact that NC stock ROM seemed to have updated itself to 4.1.3.
Should I re-run the scripts again or am I missing something else?
When it was updated to 1.4.3, you lost the emmc mods. Just re-flash my zip with the CWM SD. You may have lost CWM on emmc too.
On CM7, you have to select the turn on storage button after you plug it in. It is not automatic like stock. Pull up the notification area and touch the turn on button.
Darn, I forgot about that 'USB' option under notifications. Enabling it allows me to find the partitions. I will run your scripts again when I find a spare mUSB card.
Thanks again for your help!

You can either use stock to download the CM10.1 zip directly to the internal SD or connect the USB cable with stock booted and use the cable to copy the file from your PC to the internal SD.
Once the file is on the internal SD, you can boot to the SD again and use the "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory" option.
And my files are attached to the post he quoted (my HD+ Hybrid thread linked in my signature) and instructions are there to. I have a section there devoted to the HD Hybrid.

I am really sorry to be so dense about this. I copied the ROM and the GAAPS to the Internal SD, I didn't put it inside any particular folder. Now when I boot the nook back up, choosing install zip from SD/Internal memory - it asks choose which zip to apply - i do not see the ROM zip and the GAAPS zip.
Did I need to extract the Flashable ROM zip and copy those files to the internal SD or the copying the entire folder is fine?

I'll attempt to describe this to you as easy as possible, and hopefully you should have your Nook ready in minutes. It doesn't take too much effort or time; mainly waiting for install requires time, other than that it's a quick process. It's not difficult either; the more you believe it is difficult, the more it will be.
I'll start from the beginning; and you go can go from there.

2. Now you need to download the latest ClockWorkMod Recovery for your Nook (to install the ROM). Once you download it, you must also download the latest update file. Download CWM & the Update from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097731
The latest version of CWM + the update, as of today:
sdcard-cwm-hummingbird-hybridv2.zip

Download both these from the link on step two (above; in this paragraph).
3. You optionally can install Gapps too; which I would recommend to access all of Google Services, including the Play Store. So download it from here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
4. Let's get started! First, if you have a Windows machine, download WinDiskReader32 (click). This is to burn the CWM .img to your SD card. Now plug in your SD card into your PC. Extract the CWM files, it was downloaded in step 2. You should have a single file with the extension .img. Load up WinDiskImager, select the CWM file, and also select the drive which your SD card is inserted into. Make sure you do not overwrite any other drive (i.e. C drive), as you will wipe out your whole PC OS. Then hit the "Write" button on WinDiskImager. Your SD card will now have CWM installed (and your SD will be partitioned. This is fine, and you should only see around ~160MB on your SD card; again this is perfectly normal).
5. After burning CWM to your SD card, extract the update file (also downloaded in step two) directly into your SD card. So basically, extract the update file into your SD card, and it will ask if you want to overwrite any existing files, confirm this.
6. Connect your Nook to your PC, whilst on the stock B&N ROM and in MTP mode (if you don't know what MTP is, most likely you haven't changed it, so your can ignore it). Once plugged in. Transfer the ROM file you downloaded in step 1, and Gapps which you downloaded in step 3 to your Nook's "Internal Storage". Transfer the ROM & Gapps (DO NOT EXTRACT THESE FILES, JUST COPY THEM TO YOUR SD CARD) to your Nook HD's internal storage via PC. Once fully transferred, move onto the next step.
7. Turn your Nook off. Eject your SD card from your PC. Place the SD card into your Nook. Turn on your device. At this point, your Nook will constantly restart as it sets up your SD card (don't touch it at this point, let it do it's thing). After a while, you should be booted into CWM. This is when the process of setting up the SD card has been complete.
8. In CWM, select "install .zip from SD card", then select "install .zip from internal sd card". Locate and install the ROM. This may take some time. Once complete, locate and install the Gapps file.
9. This isn't mentioned in the original setup, or anywhere else, but I would recommend that you fix the permission of your Nook HD now, as a fresh install before you proceed to use it. Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233688 and start from Section 5 on the link, once done, return to this thread, then move onto the next step here.
10. Optionally (if you don't want to install, skip to step 11), now you can install a patch by leapinlar. For example, if you boot into CyanogenMod, you cannot use your internal storage. You can only use your SD card. However, if you would like to use your internal storage when in CyanogenMod, install this fix by leapinlar:

From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38153094#post38153094 If you install this fix, your internal storage will be used instead of your SD card (this is a bonus for those who are using 2GB SD cards, since they're limited on storage). After this fix, all your apps and everything will treat the internal storage as it's default native storage space.
11. Go to the root menu on ClockWorkMod Recovery, and select "reboot system now". Your tablet will now reboot into CyanogenMod perfectly.
You are good to go. All the best.

I don't remember exactly how bokbokan did his CWM internal memory. You may have to look in a folder named /media.
And keep the zips intact.

It is in Media - so I installed the ROM but my fat fingers clicked something else before I can wipe cache etc. I still need to install GAAPS and your files.
How do I get back to the menu structure that enables me to clear cashe and install from internal sd?

Power Button: To go up one menu, for example if you go into "Advanced", to return to the original menu, you simple press the power key.
Volume Up/Down: These two keys are for navigation purposes, allowing you to scroll up or down the menu respectively. Use these keys to highlight your option.
Home/'n' Button: This is to select the current option, for example, if you're currently hovered over "Reboot system now", and press the 'n' key, your tablet would reboot.
Use the power button.

It installed CM, but I didn't Wipe cache and dalvik and then install GAAPS and then wipe cache and dalvik etc.
My Nook boots up into CM but now I want to get back into the menu that will enable me to wipe cache and install GAAPS etc.

You mean once you have left CWM and booted to CM10, how do you get back to CWM recovery? Reboot and hold the n key. A boot menu will pop up. Follow the directions there to get to CWM recovery.

Since you wiped it after installing Gapps, there's no need to do it again; as it won't make a difference. But if you want to, simply boot into recovery.
On a Nook HD, to boot into the recovery. Turn off your Nook, and using the boot menu select CWM. Or, if you prefer, follow the guide here from Step 3 to 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233688

Thanks Leapinlar and HiddenG for all the help I was able to get it to work for me! Quick question, how do I get it to boot into stock and visaversa?

What is hanging at 99%? Stock? You should not be booting to stock, you should be booting to SD and selecting CWM recovery in the boot menu.

Use the boot menu to get to stock. To get to CM10 from rooted stock, install an app from Play Store named Quick Boot by Sirius Applications. You can use that to tell it to reboot. If you do not have stock rooted, you must power off and back on.

I downloaded the app - when I go into bootloader from the app, the nook reboots and hangs at 99%.
I do believe I rooted the nook and installed CM10 because I was able to go to play store and download the app.
