Hi guys,
I've been trying out different android builds but after a while it won't boot in android anymore.
I run the CLRAD and HaReT, it show the command lines and then freezes on the HTC screen.
It is not the first time I'm launching it, everything is allways set up the way I like it and then I want to reboot a final time and it freezes. (first boot only takes 10 min.) Then I have to take out the battery to reset, but everytime after it freezes, tried waiting for +1 hour but no changes.
When I delete all the android files from my SD card and copy the original ones it restarts again and I have to setup everything again.
I tried new wm roms (Miri HD2 wm6.5.x) different radios (now 2.12.50.02.2),
the new HSPL3 but nothing seems to solve this.
edit: now I'm trying to use the mdeejay froyo HD v3.7 rom
I've searched the forum and other users seem to have the same problem, but no solutions have come forward. The people replying allways seem to think it is the first boot that takes 10 min. but it's not that. First boot works fine.
I would love to have a solution so I can start using android on a daily basis.
If you need more info, just ask.
I was having the same problem initially...very frustrating. Now i found the permanent solution for this problem. The problem on the second time or more on rebooting is depending how do you install the code in the root of SD card. Please follow the instruction carefully as each ROM (depending on which one you use) may require the files to store diffrently in the "root" of SD card. So read carefully after you unzip the code, where should you transfer the files in the SD card. Either under SD root or SD\Android (directory).Eg. I'm using FroyoStone_Sense V3.2 ; use 7-Zip File Manager program (can be download), then execute (click on the downloaded file : FroyoStone_Sense-V3.2.7z ) with the 7-Zip File Manager then you will get 2 directory 1. Android 2. Media and one readme.txt file. Copy the directory 1 and 2 in you root of your SD card. Then you run thru file manager, CLRCAD.exe follow by haret.exe . This the first setup. Let it run and setup your device. It will work and the second time you reboot, just run CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe as usual, your device will work perfectly..Good luck.
Hi, Just to add another note for you convenience if you are using different android build ef Mdeejay_Froyo_Sense_v.2.4.2_NextSense; when you extract the downloded file using 7-Zip File Manager, you will get 2 directories 1. AndroidApps and 2. Media with the rest of files including CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe .Copy and paste exactly the structure into your SD card. It will run beautifully and you will not have probelm on freesing on 2nd reboot even for the next reboot...hope it helps and try it out.thx.
I've the very same situation and Khairon i tried that method doesn't work...
Still same issue...
Any one can solve this?
cheers
Hi, use file using 7-Zip File Manager program to extract the downloaded zipfile. I've tried severals Android ROM builds and it works well on my HD2 after 2 weeks of trial and error on the freezing after the 2nd reboot. To increase your chance of success, reformat the SD card only then copy the files into the SD card.
Thx
all done, still same 2nd boot = freez
dont understand wots wrong
i am using the mjeedy's revolution build
is there any way to completely burn the android to HD2 like wince roms?
cheers
i was having exactly same problems as u, so i formatted my card with a card formatter, not through windows but used a card formatter, installed android agian and bingo it works, im using droidrom, radio 2.12, with the card format do full reset not quick this should work
full format is not working either
I also noticed that there is a file popping up on my SD card : EncFiltLog.menc
Searching around points to SD card encryption, but this is turned of in windows.
I checked with Miri, who made my windows rom and he said it's not set in the rom itself.
But this might explain everything, when I reboot the linux bootloader can't read the SD card because of the encryption.
Only thing now is to turn it off, but how can I do this when it is off in windows
I also had that file today on my "goldcard", the old 2GB SD-card shipped with my HD2. I tried the old card, because I can't start android (on 16GB sandisk) anymore.
Hi, I have the same problem.
Reboot freeze on 16GB Kingston.
Working fine on 2GB SD.
On both SD card is the same formating.
it doesn't seem to be related to the SD card i guess, I also tried my original 2GB card instead of my regular 16GB.
Both give me the same problems.
Hey anyone got a resolution to this??
my build works on my gb but not my 6gb card???
Hello there i am just asking for some asistance i am new to nook i upgrated to phiremod 7.1 by doing a full wipe and now that i tried to backup my room it just doesnt boot or passes the boot screen i wiped all my system,caches,data,boot like i do with my phone now it desnt let me boot not even in clockwork recovery it just sits there any help will be highly appreciate it ...
same here, now made an uSD card and trying to restore...
What version of CMW are you using? Make sure it is the latest 3.2.0.1.
I had your same problem until I used the image from eyeballer. (Look for his thread in the android development section)
Here is my method that finally worked :
Burn eyeballer 's data image to SD card using win32diskimager. Use external card reader. Run as administrator.
Then copy whichever zipped rom you want to use on that same card.
Make sure nook is off. Insert burned SD card. Power on nook. If you haven't already done so, format data and system (in the mounts and storage section).
Then install zipped rom.
After rom is installed, Before turning off the nook, replace SD card with another unburned SD card. The rom usually will not boot without an SD card inserted.
Then select reboot on CMW. Usually takes 10-20 minutes for a first time boot.
Hopefully this will work for you. If not, you may have a faulty SD card

Hi,
Having a with a Nook where it will not complete boot of CM7 which is installed on an SD card. Instead it boots into the Nook Color software.
I hold down the power button till I see the green Cyanogenmod logo with the Loading text, which I think means it is booting from the SD card (I can get it to boot into CM recover), then the screen goes blank and something goes wrong and the boot process continous with the 'n' screen and eventually loads the Nook boot animation and ends with the Nook software loaded. The nook software seems to be running fine except I can't get the SD card to boot all the way.
I've tried 2 known good SD cards, which boot without problems on my second nook, so I know it is not the SD card. I suspect something got corrupted with the boot process files, so I have been trying to find a way to overwrite the existing files with a virgin copy.
1) Can't get ADB running, I suspect the ADB route is only possible if I have the nook booting in a rooted CM7 in the first place (if some one could confirm that would help)
2) I have tried the x8 boot fail reset as well as the erase and deregister option in the nook software with no change in the above behaviour.
3) My last hope is to do an update back to stock using the recovery mode of the SD card. I can copy an updater file to the small partition of the SD card that is visible on Windows. I found a 1.2 stock updater, but it is ~200MB which is too big to fit on the SD card. If someone could point me to a smaller updater or a sd image with CWM and >200MB space that would be very helpful. TY!
What exactly are you trying to do? If you are just trying to set up dual-boot of CM off of your SD card, you don't need to do anything to the stock B&N internal install. I've had good luck using the procedure in the [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards thread.
Are you sure the initial CM install on your SD card went well? It's known to be very particular (see top of that thread) about what SD cards work. The first few times I tried, I didn't realize there were error when CM was initially extracted which led to similar failures. From what you've described, the SD setup is failing. Normally, you don't need to worry too much about what's on the internal emmc setup of the Nook Color.

Hi bobsto, some background. I've been using CM7 on a microSD for several weeks now. I dual boot between Nook SW and CM7 that way. I've been using the link you posted above to create the SD cards and so far I have not had to touch the eMMC files at all.
Then a friend messed around with the Nook I gave them with CM7 on an SD card. I don't what the friend did, but when I got the Nook back it would not boot into CM7. I pulled my SD card from my working Nook and it wouldn't work either. So I'm guessing someone screwed with the Nook internal files. So I am trying the factory restore of the Nook SW to see if that will fix the problem and allow me to load CM7 from the SD card again. Interestingly Nookie will boot from SD and CM7 won't. Still trying stuff to see what will fix the problem. Suggestions are welcome.

Gosh, I wish someone could figure this out.
I restored original stock after a full CM7 root and it went fine but I can NOT get a dual boot sd card to work.
It seems to install but when I reboot it shows CM7 screen briefly then always boots to Nook OS.
Tried many many different cards and image writers and CM7's and even a card from my other Nook which I know works.
It will not boot into the CM7 from the SDcard.
Any help?

Thanks, the first worked like a charm!
I made a 32gb CM7 sdcard.
Still wish I could have got the size-agnostic card to work, it bugs me when I can't figure stuff out.

I'm in the same boat, but after 1 day of research and trial and error I'm happy it works. Maybe someone smarter will see this and know the answer and solve my problem curiousity.
Hello XDA fourms, i have just today bought a nook color. I have been researching rooting it so i can read my manga and comics on it. I have decided to root it through a micro sd 4gb card so that if i want to use my nook regularly i can. now the problem is i can not understand half the things people say to do to achieve rooting my Nook color. can any one help me or redirect me to an easy place to teach me how to do this?
That's exactly how I started out. You can find instructions on the "[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards." thread in the "Nook Color Android Development" forum. I'm no Android expert, being more a console Linux & C/Forth kind of guy, but it worked for me.
Since I spent most of my time in stock and only had a few apps I actually used on the card, I ended up rooting the stock nook with a manual nooter to install those apps in the Nook Color stock home page ... but using the SD card install for a month was quite useful in working out whether I wanted to root the stock B&N firmware or install a CM7 firmware instead.
ok so i tried to make an sd card out of my 4 gb but it didnt work so i decided to reformate it and now it only has 117 mb! wth? im so confused...

when you write the image to the SD card the partition is 117mbs. windows can only see that partition (there is actually 4 on the card after the image is written) that's why when you hit reformat it reformatted it to 117mbs. boot your nook up into stock form with the SD card in it, then go into your settings and hit "unmount SD card" then hit "reformat". That'll get you back to 4gbs.
ok great! ill try that thank you very much! but now how do i get it rooted?
If you "want to root it through a micro sd 4gb card so that if i want to use my nook regularly i can" ... you aren't really rooting the device, you are just making an SD card that will boot up its own system and leave the stock system in the built-in flash alone. Then if the card is pulled out (or replaced with a non-bootable SD card), the bootloader skips the SD card and boots from the internal flash.
If you are using a Windows box, as nook711 explained, the regular Windows format will not change existing SD partitions, so it will just format one relatively small partition on the SD card. To reformat back to a single clean SD partition on the Windows side, google for Panasonic SDFormatter.
As far as how to get that card to work as an SD-boot card ~ its hard to say, since you didn't say what went wrong the first time you tried it: which imager program did you use? did you power the Nook down all the way before rebooting it? Did it hang, or did it fail to boot and start up as a stock Nook Color?
Unless of course I misread you: if you want to root it using a SD card in a way that allows it to also be used as a regular Nook ~ that is, the third party apps show up in what looks like a regular B&N Home page ~ that is a manual noot you want to do. The instructions for doing a manual noot are in the "[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16" thread. However, those are instructions for a 1.2 or 1.3 version. Instead of using the manualnooter file described in the opening post, skip ahead to page 175, and look for GMPOWER's post #1745. The "LINK" downloads a manualnooter file that seems to work for a stock Nook Color 1.4.1 ~ at least, that's the one I've used and now I have what looks like a stock Nook Color, except with Crackle, Crunchyroll, YouTube, OpenIntents and DolphinMini apps showing up on the B&N home pages.

so what happen on my first try was i used winimage to write the genertic sd card file on to it. i than put update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip on the card. my nook was off and i turned it on. it did not boot from the sd card. i have not tried holding the n button to see if that worked yet. i do have the sd card formatted and i have already formatted the card back to 4 gb. Next i was going to do the same steps but try and hold the n button
update:so i tried the N button but it didnt boot the sd card... i just dont know what im doing wrong!?
if it did not boot from the sdcard then I would suspect that the image did not write to the sdcard correctly. the nook will automatically look at the sdcard boot first.
did you unzip the image file before writing it to the card?
did you write the image as admin in the winimage?
After writing the image to the sdcard remove it from your computer and then plug it back in the computer, if it wrote correctly it should now say "boot"
"my nook was off and i turned it on. it did not boot from the sd card"
It only boots if it is turned on from a powerdown. If it just went to sleep to save the battery, and a quick tap of the power button can wake it up, its not powered down, its only sleeping.
When its awake, hold the power button, wait for the "do you want to turn it off completely" dialog, keep holding the power button, and it will turn off. That is a complete power down. Then put in the bootable SD-card, and hold the power button until it turns on ~ it ought to boot off the card instead of off the Nook internal flash.
Like any Android device, it will take a while to go from the boot screen to the home screen on the first power-up, but you'll see the skaterboy droid in a couple of minutes and know that its grinding through the process of setting up the CM7 system.
And regarding the CM7 update file ~ looking in my PC file system, that's the same CM7 update file I used.

Yes i did shut it off and than turned it on but is still does not work?
i have also been looking at video on youtube. but every single one tells me something different. so far the one i found that seems to be the closest to what im trying to do is this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4nenR-mNo0 but even so i feel like the more i watch the more confused i get
There are only three things that come to my mind:
(1) What is the make and class of the microSD card? That's not from personal experience, but it shows up in multiple HowTo guides, both here and on other sites. I used a Kingston Class 4 8gb microSD card, but the preference seems to be for SanDisk Class 4.
(2) A generic image is likely to work best if its written onto a "like new" fully formatted SD card ~ I have seen a few YouTube clips of various rooting efforts where formatting it with the Panasonic SDFormatter Windows executable succeeded after the prior effort had failed.
Edit: the YouTube clip you posted is the first one where I saw advice to use the Panasonic SDFormatter. However, other than that, I mostly followed the xda How-To.
I'd note that even though the the CrashTechDummies YouTube clip is from April, 2011, they are using a HowTo guide for a image that is older than the "size-agnostic" image in the "Size-agnostic" How To guide, so they have to do several things by hand that are handled automatically by the "Size-agnostic" image.
(3) What is your hardware for writing SD images? USB-port card writers sometimes need to be safe-unmounted with the USB unmount tool before popped out. I've run into that before in a different context.
If its not one of those, then I got nothing, sorry. The part between copying the CM7 file onto the generic image and seeing the CM7 droid skaterboy "just worked" for me.

there's lots of ways to get to the end result, don't get confused we will help you through the process.
Now that being said:
This was my process
* reformat your SD card again using the stock nook
* download "windisk32 image writer" (easier I think then winimage)
* download "verygreens, genenric 1.3image.zip"
* unzip the image.zip to your desktop (using 7zip)
* open windisk32, click the blue folder and find the image file on your desktop for generic 1.3
* select your corresponding drive to your sdcard hit write
*when finished remove sdcard and reinsert it into computer
* download (cm7.1 or cm7.2)
* open up " my computer" on windows
* drag "cm7.1 or 7.2" to the corresponding drive for sdcard (should say boot)
* when finished right click hit eject when safe to do so remove sdcard
* insert sdcard into fully powered down nook
* turn nook on (after a few it should go to a little Linux penguin) and install scripts should be running
* when it's done it'll power off
* wait a few minutes and turn the nook on, should boot into cm7 but first you should see the android riding a skateboard.
*while that's working download the gapps file
after you set up cm7 for the first time, shut it down.
* remove sdcard and reinsert it into your computer
* open up "my computer" and drag the gapps file to the sdcard drive
* when finished hit eject and reinsert the card into the nook and while holding the "n" power up the nook (should see the little Linux penguin again)
* when its finished it should power down againbthen just turn it on and set up Google
hope this helps
** again this is just what works for me and I have successfully done several different nook for friends, family and myself.
uh is there any way you could supply some links ? i mean i think i have alot of these things but iv been gathering it from doing reaserch so i justwant to make sure i have the right files

you can use the nook as a mass USB storage device. while on the nook plug the cord into your nook and then the USB side into your computer. the computer should pick it up as USB mass storage and show 2 drives, 1 for nook color and the other for sdcard. once connected you can put whatever you want on it.
Hey and thanks ahead for any help.
I've been trying to figure this out the passed 24 hrs (bout 4 hrs of sleep) but I'm stuck.
I have a micro sd card (8GB class 6), I have the downloads I've read on here to unzip and write the images WinImage and WinRaR.
I have nookhoney04 (honeycomb), HoneyGApps.v2 in one folder I have generic-sdcard (cm7) and update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed and gapps-gb-20110828-signed on the second folder. I can get both OS running just fine on this card (obviously after I erase 1 OS and write the other). However, everywhere I read tells me to take out my sd card and copy over the unzipped ZIP file containing the apps I assume to the card but my computer will not allow me to do anything until I reformat the sd card (erases everything).
My problem is I can't seem to figure out how to get google play or android market on either OS. I've watched numerous YouTube walk throughs but I am not very tech savvy. If anyone knows my problem or can walk me through it I would love you forever. Either one will do. I mainly just want to be able to get a nook app, kndle app and netflix app.
After you have the CM7 installed (don't use honeycomb, it is not stable) you should be able to put the SD in your PC and it should be able to read the boot partition. (If you can't, try a different card reader or a different PC). Copy the gapps...zip file to the boot partition. Put the card back in the nook and boot. Hold the n key until the boot menu comes up. Select SD and recovery and continue the boot. Gapps should install automatically. Then reboot and you can register the gapps. Use Market/Play Store to download your kindle, etc apps.

Thanks for your help.
No matter what I do, every time I reinsert the sd card into the computer after installing cm7 onto nook, it ask me to format it then refuses to allow me access to it unless I format the card. After I write the cm7 onto the card, copy the update 7.1.0, I can eject the sd card and place it back in and it reads it fine but after installing onto nook and placing back into the computer it makes me reformat. Does the nook write anything onto it?

The solution is to start over and put both the CM7 zip and the gapps zip on the SD at the same time. It will then install both. If there is not room, go to my tips thread in my signature and get my updated image. It has been expanded so there is room for both.

Alright, I erased the card, wrote cm7 onto it. After about 116mb remained. I copied the cm7 update to it and gapps (total is about 106 mb). I inserted it into the nook. Penguin showed, blue text scrolled. Said gapps was found and installed then said preparing to shut down. After it powered off, I turned it on and it went straight into the Nooks standard OS. Like if I didn't have a sd card in it lol
