Someone might be able to show me in the right direction.
Been trying to load several android roms on my hd2. Everyone has been a SD version, But for some reason the installation stops at the initial black screen with "micro size" text. Am I doing something wrong not getting past that screen?
Please help. Been trying fo 6 hours now, about to give up.
Tx for help guys,

What do the last few lines of 'micro size text' say? If it's truly failing to boot, there's usually a clue in there as to why.
What build are you currently trying to boot up?
The first boot up can take quite awhile, sometimes 5-10 minutes. Let it go for a good while, and if it still won't boot, report back with what build it is, and the last 5 lines or so of the white micro size text. Good luck

I think the last line in the boot screen was jumping to kernel or something like that. Dont know if that helps..
After it says that, does the screen change to black with a green HTC logo, or stay with the white text? The older initrd.gz's showed all the text, while the newer ones cover it with the HTC screen. Was there like 100 lines of code or just a few?
It sounds like it's failing to load the kernel.

Yeah, I sometime also experienced as you did
You can try to reformated your SD card and dont put any files except the Android rom files. And when your copy the Android files from PC, use Card Reader. Also try to combine with other winmo roms, because sometime it just works when you use other winmo roms. Also try redownload and do MD5 checksum to ensure the downloaded file is correct and not corrupted
If it still fails, you can try use with a brand new sd card.
Good luck
Goodluck
first make sure your SD card is error free, it means you have to check it using any aoftware, windows explorer will do, just right-click the card on My computer, go to properties-tools and check it for errors. I also recommend formatting it, make sure you uncheck quick format, choose FAT32 for file system and 32 for cluster size (not smaller!) and again.
also, read the build's info again, some builds require you creating a config file before you start, like the one in my sig, if so, you have to create that file before you start android.
hope that helps
Hello,
I have just installed CyanogenMod 7 for the Barnes & Noble Nook Color :: V7.0.3 using ClockworkMod Recovery.
After installing CyanogenMod 7, I install the Google Apps addon version: gapps-gb-20110307. The installation goes smoothly, and I receive the "Installation Complete!" message before I remove the MicroSD card and reboot.
Upon reboot from ClockworkMod Recovery, I receive an "Installation Failed" screen that tells me to power on and off the device. I do so, and successfully boot into CyanogenMod7.
I immediately proceed to the Homescreen, where the only items are "Messaging" "Contacts" "Clock" "Email" "Camera" and "Gallery". I have no prompt to set up my Google Account or Timezone. Also, I do not have Market, but I can connect to my WiFi network.
Thank you for your help, it is appreciated. I am obviously a noob, and my apologies for stepping on any toes!
Wow! Looking at some of the questions neighboring mine and their lack of responses, I tend to doubt that mine is going to get answered, even over the long run. I thought this forum had active users, at least that is what the Registration Video said...6 million active users was it???
First of all, deep breath. It may not get answered right away, but typically the questions get answered.
First off, any particular reason you are running 7.0.3? If I recall, this includes the old kernel that has terrible battery life. I would recommend going to 7.1 found here.
I don't know which gapps goes with 7.0.3, but I would double check to make sure it was the right one. I'd still recommend upgrading to 7.1 stable.
Also, I personally recommend doing ROM and GAPPS in two steps... I have eliminated some of the problems I have seen myself by using that method.
1. Install ROM... boot it up... let it settle in.
2. Reboot into CWM and install GAPPS... boot it up... do your thing
Also remember... 4 hours isn't a real long time to wait before posting a second post like you did... especially on a Sunday evening... This is a forum... not an immediate feedback application.
My apologies for my impatience. I did not mean to sound so callous, but after rereading my comment, I realize how abrupt it was.
Also, I remember the site introduction mentioning clicking on the thanks meter as a piece of site etiquette. How do I do that?
After following your advice, I am still having the same problem: not able to use the Android Marketplace as the item is not on my Homescreen, and the Google Apps are not installing.
I took biohazrd's advice, and I upgraded to 7.1 stable.
I also took DizzyDen's advice and installed CyanogenMod 7.1, reboot, let it settle, powered off, booted into Clockwork and installed the google apps pack (gapps-gb-20110828-signed), then rebooted again.
Still, I have no Android Marketplace.
As I stated in my previous post, I am a newbie, and I don't know what I am talking about, but off the top of my head, I have a feeling as if the google apps pack that I used (gapps-gb-20110828-signed) is not the right one. Could this hold any water?
Also, I don't know if it makes any difference, but I bought my Nook in December 2011 and it is a refurbished model. Because I purchased it in 2011, I updated the partitioning scheme using (repartition1GBdata-v1) and (reformatData-v1).
Thanks again, I appreciate the help!

If it isn't on the Homescreen, did you check by open App Drawer?
Thanks for the reply Votinh.
I did not find the Marketplace in the App Drawer. My app drawer currently contains:
Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Dev Tools, Downloads, DSPManager, Email, File Manager, Gallery, Messaging, Music, Phone, ROM Manager, Search, Settings, Sound Recorder, Spare Parts, Superuser, Terminal Emulator, Theme, Chooser, Videos and Voice Dialer.
I was having a look around and figured out how to look at the Internal storage and found something called Market Apps Installer version 1.1. I click on it, but it offers few options to fiddle with and seemingly no way to access the Android Marketplace.
Again, thanks for your help, I truly do appreciate it!
If it doesn't work as expect, I guess you have to list step by step what you have done up to that point, that may help us pin point where and what you did wrong.
Also, pls clearly indicate where you run the ROM from.
Thanks again for your help, Votinh.

I am not sure what you mean. Where can I possibly run the ROM from (what are the possible answers)? I would assume that I could run it only from the SD card. Sorry for being a newbie!
I will list step by step all of my actions and detail them in the response. Maybe, I will go through the whole installation process again and mark down everything that transpires.
Also, what do you think of my theory? That I am downloading and installing the wrong gapps pack?

gapps-gb-201111028-signed.zip is still on the CM wiki as the latest version... did you verify MD5 checksum and ensure you didn't have a bad download?

In here, xda NC forum, you will frequently see the term "eMMC" and "uSD"
eMMC refers to the internal memory of the device, as currently where the B&N stock ROM resides while uSD is the external card where we can put the custom ROMs such CM7/9 in and run from there.
Depends on which method you choose to use, different procedures/instructions needed.

As for your theory, I and we assume that you have installed CORRECTLY and if it isn't working as expect, then we need to know step-by-step how you did.
Everything is possible from bad zip to bad card.
My apologies for the delay in my reply. It has been a hectic week+end.
did you verify MD5 checksum and ensure you didn't have a bad download?

I am ashamed to say it, but I do not know how to verify a checksum to ensure the intergrity of a download. Although, I did download the gapps file twice, once each on different computers, copied it to the SD card and attempted to update. Is it possible that I could have gotten 2 bad downloads on 2 different PCs?
I have gone back and redone every bit of my CyanogenMod and Google apps installation on my Nook Color. I have taken notes on it and below is my step by step description of what I have done and observed. My apologies for the book, but I wanted to be as thorough as I could. Thanks for your help and I would appreciate and advice that can help me resolve this unfortunate situation.
1. Downloaded ClockworkModRecovery (2gb_clockwork-0.7.tar.gz) from http://code.google.com/p/monster-rootpack/downloads/detail?name=2gb_clockwork-0.7.tar.gz&can=2&q=
2. Downloaded CyanogenMod 7.1 (update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip) from here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=encore
3. Downloaded Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110828-signed) from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
4. Downloaded Win32DiskImager (win32diskimager-binary) from here https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
5. Extracted Win32DiskImager files to a folder on desktop
6. Decompressed and Extracted ClockworkModRecovery to Desktop (this took longer than I expected, the extraction strangely taking 5 minutes)
7. Start up Win32 DiskImager and receive the following File Error message: An error occurred while accessing the device. This usually means something is currently accessing the device; please close all applications and try again. Error 1 Incorrect Function.
8. The File Error message displays itself 3 times. I click OK three times, and then the Win32 Application opens, and I continue with my process.
9. Use Win32 DiskImager to write ClockworkMod onto my MicroSD card. The MicroSD card is a 1 year old, 2GB Transcend MicroSD Card. I use an Kingmax MicroSD card adapter to plug the card into my Computer’s SD card slot.
10. Copy the CyanogenMod 7.1 file and the Gapps 20110828 file to the MicroSD card.
11. Eject the MicroSD card from the PC, insert it into my Nook, and power on.
12. Boot into ClockwordMod Recovery, I go to Mounts and Storage, click on Format System and confirm YES. Next, I format Data and Cache.
13. NOTE: Previously, I was receiving an "Error: can't format /data" error as my newer Nook Color had a different partitioning scheme. I used ‘reformatData-v1’ and ‘repartition1GBdata-v1’ to remedy this when I first attempted to install CyanogenMod. It seems to have gone off without a hitch.
14. I then go to ‘install zip from sdcard’ , the choose ‘choose zip from SD card’ and select the Cyanogenmod 7.1 zip. It opens and installs.
15. After the install completes, I remove the SD card and reboot the Nook.
16. Upon reeboot, I get a Cyanogen loading screen for a few seconds, followed by an error screen that says Install Failed with a large red and white exclamation mark over a Nook clip art.
17. The Nook powers off after a few seconds. I then power on again and sucesssfully boot into Cyanogenmod. I do not have the Marketplace app at this point.
18. I power off, replace the SD card, and boot into Clockworkmod.
19. I choose ‘install zip from sdcard’ and then ‘choose zip from SDcard’ and the gapps zip. I confirm YES and install the gapps zip.
20. I remove the SD card and reboot the system. I receive the exact same ‘Install Failed’ error screen with the red and white exclamation mark over a nook clip art.
21. After a few seconds the nook powers off after the error screen. I power on again and boot into CyanogenMod.
22. There is no Marketplace app on the homescreen or in the App Drawer, leaving me with the same initial problem
Thank you for everything!
I don't think Market will show until you have registered with google. There is a setup wizard or one time provisioning process to go through. That may be the thing that is failing when you first boot. Not sure how to get you back on track.

Re: Google Apps Not Installing
Hi,
After you install CM 7.1, Google Apps, and reboot (hard power off and cold boot - the first boot will fail), look for the Google Talk app in your App Drawer and log in to it with your Google credentials. That should spawn the installation of the rest of the Google Apps, including the Android Marketplace.
Also, strangely enough, when installing my first app from the Market, I had to install it with the device physically in landscape mode, as the installation failed when the device was being held in portrait orientation. This seemed to clear up after the first app was installed.
I stumbled across this thread tonight, as I was searching for a solution to this exact problem while updating a friends Nook Color to CM 7.1. This did the trick for me.
Good luck!
Frank
Thank you Frank! I am going to finish up my current task then break out the Nook and cross my fingers that this will work! I will let you know!
I, too, am having problems
I don't mean to thread-jack, but I am also having problems with gapps.
Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
The version of CM7 I placed on my card is "cm_encore_full-253.zip". The steps all the way through putting that on the card, putting that in the Nook, booting, it all worked fine. I DID notice the line that said something along the lines of looking for the gapps installation, not finding it, and skipping that step.
I downloaded the Gapps ("gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip") onto my computer. I shut off my NC, took out the SD card, and went to put it into my computer. Lo and behold, my computer can't read the SD card. It tells me it needs to be formatted before it can be used.
Uh. How am I supposed to get anything on the sd card?! I can't even format it to start over - Windows fails to format it.
I tried plugging in my NC to my computer - I at least got the CM7SDCARD to open, but it doesn't appear to be everything (there's no "boot" folder there). I tried moving the zip file to just the main directory of what I saw, and booted into recovery mode, but nothing happened.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Look at my post here. It tells you how to make the boot partition show up in your system. In your case download the rar rev 1 and follow the directions (per edit 2) on how to manually put the file on your system.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22858059
Edit: You sound like a newby, so in order to do this you need the program "root explorer" which you buy on the market. Very useful program for later use too.
If you don't feel like trying this, get a different card reader or computer to see if that helps reading the card.
Edit 2: Also look here for a more recent nightly that has a few bugs fixed. It was built in January and 253 was in November.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23198390
I recently purchased a Nook Color (used) at a flea market. I could not check it out prior to purchase because the battery was dead. (Shame on me) The seller did not bother to tell me (Shame on him) that he had "rooted" (I think that is what it is called) the Nook and installed Google apps on it.
When I first power up the Nook, I get a screen that says "Cyanogenmod". The next screen simply says "Android" in small letters in the upper left hand corner. The next screen says "Google" and has two spinning, interlocking gears. Finally, a screen appears with the Android "person" in the middle, with a number of apps that the owner previously downloaded.
I have tried doing the 8 interrupted boots, but that does not seem to be working. All of this talk about ADB and Android sdk is wayyyy above my expertise level. Can someone provide me with an easy to follow/understand step by step guide to restore my Nook Color to stock? I've also tried following the video on theunlockr.com and the forums on xda.developers.com, but some of the hyperlinks to the necessary software appear to no longer be functioning.
Hi Tim you can restore. The easiest way is going to be to create a bootable ClockWork Mod Recovery (CWR) SD card and then flash whatever ROM it is you want the Nook to be (stock, CM7, CM9).
Here are a couple of threads to look at with links to files you may want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599646
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576833
Basically you need a uSD card, a CWR image and the zip file for the ROM you want to restore to. Burn the CWR image to the uSD card using win32diskimager and then place the zip file for the ROM you want to use on the card (not in any folder and don't unzip it).
Power down, place the card in the Nook and power up. Then choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache. This will ensure everything is cleared out to flash the new ROM. Next choose install zip from sd card and choose the zip file of the ROM you want to flash.
Once it is done flashing unmount the sd card and choose reboot or hold the power button until it powers off and remove the card and then power back on.
JP
It is also worth checking first, if you haven't already done so, whether there is a uSD card left in the Nook (under the little hinged cover).
The Nook will load of this first if it is in there and bypass the software on the main machine.
If there is a card in there, then take it out and try powering off and on again to see what it then loads. Also you could retry the 8 failed boots method.
No, there is no sd card in the nook. And I have tried the 8 failed boot method to no avail.
JP, I am downloading one of the programs that was missing. It'll be about an hour before it is done. I'll go from there.
I'll probably be asking more questions, as I am about as computer illiterate as they come. Hope you have a lot of patience and will hang with me.
Tim
It is a pretty simple process as long as you can follow directions. There are only really three main parts 1. Downloading files, 2. Burning an image to make a bootable micro SD card and 3. Flash the downloaded zip files from that card.
I'm sure we'll be able to get you through it
I downloaded the source file but I cannot get it to run. I do not understand the installation instructions in the read me file that comes with the source zip. For example, what does "QT" stand for? Is it quick time or some other program?

My son says that the previous owner installed the clockwork recovery mode file directly unto the nook color. According to every video we have watched, that is a big no no! Everytime we try to hard reboot the nook, we get the cwm screen with no sd card in the nook.
We finally have the correct winimager file and are going to attempt to return the nook the stock using the cwm recovery image and the nook zip file.

If you use the files from my guide it will get rid of clockworkmod and you will have a completely stock NC.
If you have problems with WinImage try Win32. And always remember to run these programs as Admin.

Success! Almost. We followed your instructions to the letter. Everything seems to be working. Except, I cannot register the device. I watch the introductory video and then go to the register device screen. I enter my wife's B&N e-mail address and password, but it will not accept it. It refers me to their 800 number.
On your other website I noticed people talking about wiping two different caches. I am not sure my son caught that or skipped that step. Could that be the problem? Or is there something else he/we may have overlooked?
I can't say thanks enough. Hopefully we can get over this last hurdle and I can give it to her tomorrow for mother's day.

Somewhere on the XDA site, I don't recall where, I saw a thread with another 2nd owner who had the same 'previously registered' problem you probably have; he got directions on a workable fix. Do a search; maybe you'll find it...
Thanks to everyone for all their help! I contacted B&N yesterday and it is registered to the former owner. They refused to help. All I could get out of them was I would have to contact the owner myself and ask him to unregister the device. I am working on that, but I don't hold out much help.
As a last resort, I might take it back to an Android device. However, I want it done correctly. I don't need the cell phone Android sysem he installed on it.
Again, thanks! It is nice to meet such helpful people.

Moving to Q&A
I've been following http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_encore and must have done something wrong. At first something popped up (I'm using Ubuntu linux) almost immediately saying something about a new ethernet connection, but I waited over 45 minutes and never had anything show on the Nook screen. I decided to re-image the MicroSD card and try again. Now it looks like it doesn't even attempt anything - another 45 minute wait, nothing on the screen. I unplugged it from my PC, removed the MicroSD card and tried to power on - nothing. I'm afraid I may have hosed up my Nook. I don't have a clue where to go from here, and I didn't want to go through the "my nook won't boot" section until I know if I need to do something else instead.
I did this a couple of years ago on a different Nook but the procedure in the wiki doesn't seem familiar, so I assume something must have changed.
Any help for this dumb old guy would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Dave
p.s. - yes, it's a Nook Color, and it shows 1.4."something" for the device before I started. In scanning the net I now have seen references to updating the firmware prior to trying all of this. I tried that when I first powered it on prior to starting this but nothing showed anywhere for an update.
P.S.S. It does power back up as a "regular" Nook Color if I hold the volume up button and the power button for about 16 seconds or so, but the wiki procedure still doesn't appear to be working even with re-imaging the MicroSD card again.
That is a really old, outdated guide. You should have been using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
To repair your nook read my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and see if anything is there to help you.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
not working
I started again by doing a few things:
- cleared the cache and the data on the Nook (cmod 10 did install from before, it just didn't show until a complete reset)
- used a brand-new never been used 16gb MicroSD card
- followed the guide in the thread in your post and went with TWRP so I could have a graphical interface for all it
- it is impossible to everything in that guide using the TWRP 1gb image as the size of the img is close to 1gb, but the partitions it created on the SD card are only 40mb and 81mg respectively - making it impossible to copy the cmod 10 zip file to it.
I re-read everything there and saw absolutely nothing about re-sizing the partitions to take advantage of the size of the SD card prior to copying everything and then trying to boot.
I'm going to go back now and try the cwd image instead and see what happens there.
Got further, but now more problems
OK, I finally got it to boot the TWRP sd image with the cmod 10 zip, the gapps zip and the recovery zip.
However, when ever I power on the device without the SD card it comes up with the the unlock, which I do, followed immediately by:
"Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
tapping "OK" to that I get:
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped"
tapping "OK" just results in a loop with the "Setup Wizrd has stopped" message.
Wireless is enabled and connected.

What versions of gapps and CM10 did you use? They must match or you get those errors.

I couldn't tell from the guide which version of cmod 10 to use, so I grabbed cmod 10.1.3."something". I used the gapps the guide said to use with CM 10.

CM10.1.3 and CM10 are different versions and require different versions of gapps. CM10.1.3 needs gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. Try flashing that version. You can get it at goo.im.

Somebody needs to change all of these guides to say "cmod xxxx, use gapps-xxxx". All of these guides say select A version from "here" for cmod zip files, but nobody cross references them to the gapps files. The guide in question does not specify use ONLY cmod-xxxx and ONLY gapps-xxxx. I suppose it's rather late in the game given the age of the Nook Color, but that is pretty confusing for a newbie. When i did this a few years ago with cmod 7, there was a very specific how-to: download this, download this, download this.
OK, enough of my rant.
So, I downloaded that gapps zip file. I ran md5sum against it in Ubuntu linux and the md5 sum doesn't match that from the web site. I've run this download over and over and still the same results. I finally just copied it to the SD card to try it. When installation gets to that zip file it errors out "unable to open zip file.", followed by an error flashing that file message. I'm afraid I don't understand. I copy the file to the sd card, I select it in the teamwin install screen and "pull the tab" to it can install it, and I get this error. Does this mean the file itself is corrupted? If so, for how many times I've downloaded it and ran md5sum to no avail, how else do I get this file?
I just re-download everything again, checked the md5sums, createda new SD card, booted it and everything seems to have installed ok now as I don't see any error messages.
Thanks!
I got my nook color when it was first launched. recently I had my first problem where it randomly whipped all my shelves. I backed up my files and erased and restored it. It is back to 1.4.3 and all my shelves are fixed. Made me think about modding it. I don't want to root the actual device but I found I can dual boot. But problem is its the end of 2014 and I can't seem to get the right updated how to guide. I found a guide and did the following but it was last updated in 20212
I have an 8gb sd card
I did the Win32DiskImager generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-larger-Rev5
ejected then 5 secs later put the card back.
copied over cm-11-20141204-NIGHTLY-encore
and gapps-gb-20110114-signed
My nook color did the whole process and said it was successful but then when I tried to boot it it just kept relaoding the opening flash page. Maybe to explain better instead of the normal read forever screen I got a cynogen mod screen over and over and over again till it just turned off.
please help guide me to the correct process as if I were a dummy. I'd like to get this running so I can read kindle app on my nook and use the komik app to load cbr files rather than having to convert cbr to epub.
please and thank you. I'll bookmark this page.
You are using the wrong files and guide if you want to install CM11 on SD. You should use the up to date guide and files from here:
