I have tried everything to get my nook to boot.
I had Cyanogen 7 on my nook for a while and decided to upgrade to one of the newer nightlies. Now all I get the cyanogen logo, then the "black screen" even when I try to go to Recovery mode. I've tried numerous times to load Monster RootPack/Clockwork just to get something to load up so I can wipe, and reload stock and start over. But nothing seems to work. I can get in via ADB, but I can't load any files, it seems my sdcard isn't loading.
I have loaded the boot.img and system.img to my sdcard. I can ADB in with my Mac Terminal, but everytime I try to load the file, I get
dd: /sdcard/boot.img: No such file or directory
is there a way i can see if the sdcard is mounted, and if its not, how do i mount it?
okay, somehow i got in cwr and restored back to 1.0.1, but now i put in a sd card with 3.2.0.1 bootable SD recovery image, and it just books stock nook, it wont boot from the sdcard. did i mess up something?

I had problem with booting from the SD til I realized that
1) WindowsXP really sucks, even with the recommended writer, handling sd cards with more than one partition (Win7 has been much better, and prompted me to get my card/sata/usb reader installed.) Often, after writing the SD card I still could not see the boot partition.
2) I borked my size agnostic image, which caused me a couple of hours of consternation.
Basically, if it wont boot from the SD card, there's something wrong with the image on the SD card. B&N made these things (As I read it) nearly unbrickable.
Good Evening Everyone,
I am opening up this thread because I am not able to use the Backup Current Rom feature in my Nook Color using ext3 or ext4 file system on my micro-sd card.
Is there any way to fix this problem without using fat32?
This is what happen:
I select Backup Current Rom
The nook restarts
Waiting for SD card to mount
Can't mount SD card...
Bye and thank you very much in advance

This sounds like you are running CM7 off of SD... you DO NOT use CWM for SD installs.
If you are not running off of SD... then I'd make sure you have the current version of CWM (3.2.0.1) and try mounting the SD from the menu's before trying anything else.
Hi, First of all, thanks for answering to my inquiry
Yes I run CM7 on from the internal memory of the Nook Color and yes, I am running CWM (3.2.0.1).
If I mount the sd card from the menu settings->storage->Mount SD Card, the sd card is mounted without any problems... The problem is when I try to Backup Current Rom
I tried also to reboot manually in recovery mood and do:
mounts and storage
mount /sdcard and I get Error mounting /sdcard!

Assuming you have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD.
Plug it into the NC, when powering up, it should be automatically booted into CwM Recovery. From there, do the Backup.
No need to mount SD card. In fact, don't know why you would do that?

1- How do I know if I have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD?
I have the one that comes with the CM7 updated to 3.2.0.1.
2- I went on ROM Manager ->Backup Current ROM but still, when I am in the recovery mode and I click on
backup and restore -> backup
I get the message Can't mount /sdcard
I have also tried to turn on the nook and enter into the recovery mode by pressing the n key but still, I get Can't mount /sdcard when I try to backup my ROM.
What do I do wrong?
P.S. In case my CwMR is not good, how do I remove it?

Ehhhh, honestly, no clue what you're trying to say.
Anyway, let's start from scratch.
Firstly, pls let us know your current system such ROM version, where it boots from, .....
Secondly, what are you trying to do? Make a backup?

The ROM version is CyanogenMod-7-11162011-NIGHTLY-encore.
I got it in download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore

It boots from eMMC (I think... I installed the ROM in the Internal Memory)

I am trying to make a backup on my micro-sd that has an ext4 file system
Bye and thank you very much.
Clear!
Now, if you did install ROM into eMMC yourself, then I assume you know how to create a flashable CwMR uSD and it is good.
Assuming the flashable uSD is fresh and good.
1. Insert the uSD into NC. Power it up. It will boot into recovery AUTOMATICALLY.
2. From the CwMR menu, using volume up/down button to to Advanced, then Backup. Let it run until finishes. Theoretically, the entire backup .zip file should be around 100MB.
3. Remove the uSD off NC.
4. The backup .zip file should probably be in the "clockworkmod" folder under ROOT. Transfer it to PC or other space to save.
That's it.
There is absolutely no need dealing with "mount SD" or "ext3" or "ext4"
I messed up partitions on my Nook Simple Touch and when tried to restore backup image it failed too. When I did back up I inadvertently backup only one partition (;face-palm !!!:crying After power down I don't think it boots,(Shows Rooted Forever)):angry:
Is there a default factory stock image i can get hold of? Or I might as well chuck in the garbage???
I don't have a backup image for the simple touch, but have you tried the options discussed in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188595
How/why does it say "Rooted Forever"?
Do you have an SD card in it right now?
Did you accidentally write Noogie to the internal SD card?
Here's the official B&N 1.1.2 update: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/
All the files that you need are in there (except for the ones in /Rom which are personalized).
Hopefully you didn't kill that.
I'd unzip uImage and uRamDisk out of the update and see if you can put them on the boot partition.
Is it possible to add CWM after a Nookmanager root of 1.2.1? I wanna add multi or dual touch but can't get CWM on
AFAIK, CWM doesn't install on the NST - it boots from an SD card. Just create your CWM SD card add the kernel CWM stuff to it and boot to apply it. Doesn't matter if you used NookManager.

ok anyone got a guide how to do this?
I made a backup using noogie method and i tried to restore it today... i created the noogie sd card and booted my NST with the sdcard.. it displayed Rooted forever.. i connected the NST to my pc and deleted all partitions on minitool partition manager... then i write my backedup img via roadkil's disk image... it said don (but i think it was on 99%).. i disconnected the NST from my pc, removed the sdcard and rebooted... it cannot boot now.. it says Install failed with an exclamation mark...
I have retried the restore method but now i can't delete all partitions.. it seems that the boot partition can't be deleted anymore and i can't write the backup img via roadkil' disk image; it says "cannot write to sector..."
edit: just read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104145
the img is 270mb.. the backup i made initially is only 77mb.. maybe my original backup was not complete? I will try restore with the rom provided
