[Q] Having problems installing CM 10 - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to install CM 10 on to my Nook Color and it keeps on putting me through cynobot bootloader and then loading me into a black screen and staying there. I have tried loading through TWRP as well as the CM loader with no luck i am using the latest stable for CM 10 as well as the gapps to go with it, can anyone give me a hand here?

Same problem
Hi - newbie here.....I am having the same problem. We have two nooks, First install on 2010 nook color with Sandisk 8gb class 4 went without a hitch and works well. Second install on 2012 nook color with Sandisk 32gb class four hangs on dark screen after load screen. Thought maybe it was the card, so reinstalled on 8 gb card and put into 2012 nook color and again hang on dark screen. Reinstalled on 32 gb card and put in 2010 nook color and everything works fine. Did a factory reset on the 2012 and got the same results. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

Look on the back of your 2012 nook. What is the model number?

Both of the Nook Colors are BNRV200. I installed CM-10.1 as suggested in another thread, and it loaded right up. Would be nice to know what the issue was?

Help: can't get CM7 to uSD dual boot to work

Hi,
For all nook color owners that have successfully created a CM7 dual boot uSD, maybe you can help me.
I just got my daughter a nook color and been trying to create a dual boot uSD using Evergreen's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957). I followed everything in the instruction but when i insert the uSD to the nook, it doesn't boot to the uSD. I don't know what I've been doing wrong, but i tried it 2x but no success. I tried using Win32DiskImage for the 3rd time, but for some reason it distroyed the card.
the nook has ver. 1.3.0 and uSD is SanDisk 8GB class-6
here is what i did.
- download the image generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz and unzipped it
- download WinImage
- write image generic-sdcard.img to the uSD using WinImage
- eject uSD and insert it back
- download CM7 full version (cm_encore_full-253.zip) from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
- copy cm_encore_full-253.zip to uSD
- eject uSD
- insert it to the Nook and turn it ON, it boots to the normal B&N screen and seems nothing is happening.
- reboot it again, but it still boots to B&N screen, it doesn't boot to CM7
would really appreciate any help. thanks so much!
Hopefully, you have gotten past this by now, but if not, try SD Formatter. Some apparently have had to use it for the sd card to be bootable and some haven't. hth

I used the Triple Boot image from Racks11479 and it works flawlessly from the first install. Maybe you should try that one, it is more simple (you don't need the installer, everything is packed in the image already).

One more thing, it is best to use Sandisk class 2 or 4. You should test it on the Nook first to see if it can recognize the card. I also used Nook to format the card before writing the image on it.
I also use the triple boot from Racks. It works fine with CM7. I tried the Miui update but it keep crashing. So I switched back to 02/01 update and it works great. The CM9 is still not very stable for me even with the update. I'll keep trying.
+1 on Racks' triple boot. Going on three weeks w/updates and CM7 is stable; CM9 a delight to explore; and you'll still have B&N stock on emcc for her.
++1 here on Rack's triple boot as well.

Cm 10 on sd card

Guys
I have downloaded various times the files needed to burn cm10 on an sd card and tried on 32gb and 2gb cards
and nothing works Now I am downloading everything again from Leapinlar how to links see if that makes any difference, is there a step by step I can check to see if I missed something I actually have A 8gb card with cm7 which I did and it runs flawlessly would like to build a 32gb with cm 10 any help guidance or advice will be highly appreciated must bare in mind you are dealing with a grandfather with not many haircuts left
thanks guys
When you say it does not work, you need to be more specific. You mean you put it in the slot and try to boot and it boots to internal memory? Or something else. Tell us more.
And you say a step by step. Not sure how many more steps you need than what I have in my instructions thread.

Two questions.
One, are you sure you have a Nook Color rather than a Nook Tablet? The Nook Tablet has a silver bezel. The Nook Color bezel is black. My card will not work on the Tablet.
Two, are you following my advice about how to burn the card. Namely, are you using an external card reader to hold the card? And are you running the Win32diskimager program in administrator mode?

[Q] Unable to boot my Nook Color 1.4.3 using MicroSD.

Greetings! I have a Nook Color v1.4.3 and I have tried to boot it on Sandisk class4 16GB MicroSD. I tried a bunch of different bootable images as well as writing the image with Winimage and Win32diskimager. I spent most of the day yesterday trying to get it to boot and it continues to boot up on the internal image rather than the MicroSD. Are there versions of the Nook Color that has the MicroSD card slot boot feature disabled? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Need more information
What are the specific steps you went through to write the images? Which images are you using? It's a Color and not a Tablet (dark grey vs light grey bezel common mix-up)?

The bezel is dark grey. I have tried writing several boot images to my SDCard using WinImage and Win32diskimager. The images I have tried are CWM-6.0.1.2-bootable_SD, TWRP-2.1.8-bootable-SD-encore, generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-larger-Rev5, generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-larger-Rev6 and generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-larger-Rev7. The model number is BNTV250.
Having tried to make those SDs boot you have obviously been to my Tips thread. Did you try some of the techniques in my section A9 there? Like using an external card reader, etc? And the colors of the bezel are black for Nook Color and silver for Nook Tablet. None of those images will boot on a Nook Tablet.
And there a no versions of the Nook Color where SD booting has been disabled.

You just added the model number. That is a Nook Tablet.

Yep. Definitely a Nook Tablet. Get to that section of the forum and I bet you have all kinds of success.

Thank you all so very much for your help. I did have much success once I was pointed in the right direction. It turned out I did in fact have the tablet and not the color and was able to install the lastest CM.

[Q] My Nook color keeps booting to the B&N "n" screen and I've tried it all!!

[Q] My Nook color keeps booting to the B&N "n" screen and I've tried it all!!
Hi all,
I've been trying to flash my nook color which had been updated to 1.4.3. I wiped it and also powered it down 8 times until it restored to factory settings.
I bought a new Sandisk class 4 8gb microsd card and I'm using an external Targus USB card writer.
I then run Win32DiskImager as administrator and write Verygreen's size-agnostic SD image to my SD card. I eject my card writer temporarily and then reinsert it. Then I copy cm-10.1.3-RC2-encore.zip & gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip on to my SD card.
Finally I insert the SD card into my nook color and turn it off but it starts with the B&N "n" screen. I have tried different clockworkmods and TWRP mods as well as auto-nooter-2.12.25.img and manualnooter-5.08.20.basic but my nook keeps loading to the B&N "n" screen.
I'm really frustrated and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Do I have the only Nook color that can't be flashed? Please help!!!

Look on the back of the nook and tell us what the model number is by the speaker grille.

He had you look at the model number to see if you really have a Nook Color. You don't. You have a Nook Tablet. It is a common error. Nook Color files will not work on a Nook Tablet. You must go to the Nook Tablet forum to get the files and instructions.

Nook Color - SD Card

Hello XDA Devs,
My sister recently got a Nook Color tablet for my nephew. It's model number: BNRV200. I was trying to find some custom roms to load onto it but everything that I've found so far instructs me to use a SD card to load the custom roms. One major problem, I do not see any SD card slots on this model of Nook Color. Help please!
Thanks in advance!
I don’t recognize the particular model number. But, on my 1st Generation Nook Color there’s a very small microSD card slot on the back, in one of the corners.
There’s a little cover that flips out of the way for you to insert the microSD card.
Hope that helps! FWIW, i think the device supported up to 32gb maximum.
