Trying to build a bootable SD Card with CWM 6.0.4.8. I used image "generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8b.zip" with Win32DiskImage and when I place uRecImg and uRecRam on the SD card, it does load into CWM recovery, but once in I can't select anything involving the SD card as it says it "Can't mount /storage/sdcard0"
Is there a bootable image out there with 6.0.4.8 already on it that I should be using?

That is the image for an SD install. You do not want to use that. I have some bootable SD images in my NC tips thread linked in my signature that can be used. Just use the same method you used on the other SD.

Actually I am trying to do an SD install - it's what I meant by making a bootable SD. I figure it's safer to see how CM11 runs before wiping my CM7 on the emmc.

Then don't use CWM. And if you use the installer script you must use a nightly earlier than 5/15 until I get the script fixed. That is unless you are using steven676's experimental version of CWM for use on SD installs. If you are it is not yet ready for prime time and you may have glitches.

Ok, just to make sure I understand what you mean by "installer script", I can not use the Rev8b image with a post 5/15 CM11?
That's actually what I tried first and it didn't work which led me to try and get CWM6.0.4.8 working. I will try a pre-5/15 image with 8b shortly.

The installer script is part of 8b. It is the penguin with the scrolling text. And you need to use a CM11 zip older than 5/15.

That worked - I had used the 8b image but with the 5/18 nightly, which obviously was a fail.
I downloaded a 2/10 build and it booted and worked, albeit quite slow. Without CWM, how do I flash the 5/4 build? Or do I just have to redo the whole img creation on the SD card again?

No, just copy the zip to the boot partition and boot to the SD recovery (the script installer). It will find and install the new zip.

I'll give that a shot. I tried re-imaging 8b with the 0504 build and it doesn't like it; same behavior as with the 0518 build. Looks like 8b needs builds older than 0504. I'll go back and try the 0210 build and then copying just the 0504 to the boot partition like you suggested.
Copying 0504 to the boot partition of the 0210 SD card worked. Can I do the same method for newer than 0515 versions?

Steven676 said the issue happened a while back but didn't know exactly when it happened. Once you get a version of CM11 installed, any new nightly will update (I used it right up to 5/15).
Note: If you have trouble installing gapps, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49942253
Thanks to both of you for your help. So can I put a version of CM10 using this method, to see how it runs?
Pretty interesting to see how each version incrementally performs better. The Feb one was uber-slow, then 0504 was better. Just tried 0518 and it's another increase in performance. I'll keep working my way up.

Just got my NC last week and thanks to this site have successfully been running CM7 (latest stable version) on a 16GB Sandisk class 4 card. I have put a few movies into a folder on the SDcard in a folder I created /MyFiles/videos. CM7 automatically found them and they playback fine.
For kicks, I booted into the emmc mode last night (running 1.3). I can browse my SDcard and see the /MyFiles/videos folder, but no files show up. Shouldn't I be able to see these files while booting with the standard Nook mode?

What a SD CM7 sees as the "sdcard" is partition 4 on the card... stock does not see this partition... what stock is seeing is the first (or "boot") partition on the card.

Thanks for the reply. That's weird because I don't think I created the path /MyFiles/videos anywhere on the first partition but I was seeing that folder. Looks like my something is messed up though as I can't get my CM7 to even boot now. It just sits there spinning at the CM7 logo. Any ideas?
Another update. I put the SD card in a USB reader and put it in my Linux machine. It sees all 4 partitions and my files are still where I thought they were. The CM7 SDCARD partition has a /MyFiles/Videos with my movies in it and the /boot partition has a /My Files/Videos folder that is empty. So all of that explains why I couldn't see my files when booted into standard Nook mode, but I still can't boot into CM7. Please help.
Why did you created /My Files/Videos folder in the /boot partition?
First step would be delete them off.

I don't even remember doing that, but it is possible that I did. Deleting those files didn't fix it.
I just remembered something else I did. When I was trying to boot into Nook mode, I forgot to hold in the nook key so it started booting into CM7. When it did that I held in the power button to turn it back off. That is probably what horked up my CM7.
Do you have a clean backup? Try that?
Worst case, redo your uSD

Unfortunately, I'm so new to this I haven't even looked into how to back it up. I downloaded the free version of Titanium backup but hadn't messed around with it yet.
I used Evergreen's method for installing with the size agnostic image. Is there a way to reinstall without wiping the uSD card and starting from scratch?

Try just putting the same nightly or stable build you used before on the boot partition and boot into verygreen's recovery mode.

Tried that and it didn't work either. I've given up and just started over from scratch. Will have to look into a backup procedure. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Honestly, I didn't even know or remember how to make a copy if running off uSD.
Clone it, maybe?
Using the auto-recovery method on the SD card then the file must be called update-gb-*.zip for it to install it. It is also aware of files called gapps-gb-*.zip. Any other files will be ignored.
Providing the file is named like that then you should see it install it when powered up with N key pressed and recovery selected.

I just meant the recovery mechanism that comes with the SD boot. Powering up with N key on and selecting recovery boots into a mode where it will just install the zips I mentioned and not a full menu driven recovery mode where you can reformat partitions, select which zips to install etc.
He asked how to make a backup, not how to install or update.
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 am unable to install any rom on the emmc (it just never works boots into them and I don't know why) and have to rely on prebuilt sdcard images for booting. I've been using the generic sdcard image and CM7.1, which works well enough. I'm interested in trying CM9 nightlies, but the zip file used to install is about 10MB larger than the boot partition from the sdcard image. Is there anyway around this or is there another method?

You need the new image file. The CM9 zips are bigger. Look here:

Excellent! Thanks!
I have read multiple tutorials on making the card (mostly C-M 7) and there seems to be some differences. Some say to expand the boot partition and some don't. Which is it? If you have to grow it to how do you do it if you have only Linux? Gparted can't grow FAT.. I tried but 3 different versions errored out.
Second is do you copy the gaps.zip and C10.1.zip to the unused portion of the SD that is there after the image file is written to the SD card or the boot partition that is created.
One tutorial said I should unmount the card before writing the image. None of the others did.
Any help for a newbie appreciated.

Use my NC guide for installing CM10 to SD linked in my signature. You do not expand the boot partition, I have made it big enough, use the rev8b version. Copy the CM files directly to the boot partition.

When I attempt to copy CM.10.1.3.2 I get disk full. Tried as User and root.
Looking at the partition in Gparted I get Size=117.63 MB Used 9.73 MB Unused 107.90 MB so it doesn't seem to be full.. The image I used was Android/generic-sdcard-v1.3.img

Hi everyone,
I am using CM on SD (latest nightly/latest CMW) and am having a problem with Cyandelta. It works sometimes but many times it bombs and erases the nightly about to be updated and ends with a no file found error.
The built in updater works well.
Anybody have any ideas?

I have been using CWM and the nightlies on SD since about 5/15 with no problems. It installs right from the Cyandelta directory directly. This is handy since leapinlar's sdboot mount trick doesn't seem to persist with an update anymore.

The reason my sdboot trick stopped working for you is the use of CWM to install the updated ROM instead of the script installer. With the script installer the reason it stuck was the script installer does not wipe /system when it installs. It just copies the new /system files over the old /system files. That way any existing /system files that do not come with the new ROM stick. CWM wipes /system before copying the new /system files. That wipes my file that is put in /system/etc/init.d that creates sdboot.
Not that it matters since you successfully use cyandelta, but the solution is to put my 19mountsdboot file in /data/local/init.d and set its permissions to execute.
