Why is everything force closing?

Just bought the parents some nook colors and I've been trying to rom it up with no luck...
The nook came with 1.3.0
These are the steps i took:
I used Win32DiskImager to write the 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.zip image to the boot SD and booted into CWM.
I removed the SD card and formatted it. Then added the rom zip and gapps zip to the sdcard.
I then reset to factory settings, then installed the rom and the gapps, then i reset factory again.
Then i would remove the sdcard and reboot and the rom would start to load...
I tried 3 different roms, cm7 mirage, phiremod and an ics rom... all 3 do the same thing, extremely slow and practically everything force closes... I cant even reboot to recovery, it seems like it stayed on the sdcard and didnt install to the nook...
Noob questions:
Should I have rooted it first?
Does it have to have an sdcard?
What can I do?
Thanks a million in advance!

I don't think this for the "Android Development" subforum.
Anyways.. unless you have a Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD, or cards with similar performance characteristics, you will see stuff like that if you run from SD card because the card is just too damn slow for small writes.
Look for "4k random write" benchmarks. Get a card that scores high on that. It's important for approximately everything that's not a large video.
You can benchmark yourself under Windows with CrystalDiskMark for example.

dammit, you're right - i could've swore i was in the Q&A forum... can a mod please move this thread?
also, regarding the sdcard quality, I actually want it installed on the nook itself, i dont want to have to depend on an sdcard...

You don't need to root first. You also shouldn't be booting to CWM after burning the image or reformatting afterwards. Your description is vague so it sounds like you may be trying to make a bootable SD card instead of installing the ROM internally. Certainly the crashing issues sounds like a slow SD card running a bootable ROM.
To install internally start with a freshly formatted card. Burn the 3.2.01 CWM image to the card. Then copy and paste the ROM zip (CM7, CM9, MIUI or whatever) and the Google apps zip files on the card. Do not unzip the files and do not put them in any folder.
Safely eject the card from the pc, insert it into the Nook and power up. Wipe data/system, clear the cache partition, go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache. This ensures you are totally clean for the ROM.
Next choose install zip from SD card. Then flash the ROM zip. Choose install zip from SD card again and flash the Gapps zip. Then unmount the card in the menu and remove the card and choose reboot. Or you can hold the power button for a few seconds to power down, remove the card and then power up.
You should now be in your new ROM installed to internal memory. Follow the official thread for the detailed instructions.

Are you using an internal card reader to burn the image? Use a cheap usb card reader. And be sure to use win32diskimager in administrator mode.

What @leapinlar is saying is that the built in reader is part of the problem. Get a little <$5 reader and use that to make the SD card.

The problem is the OP doesn't provide enough info. Before we offer help, pls do tell us what your intention?
1. Install CM? into eMMC (a.k.a. internal memory) or
2. Run CM? from uSD (a.k.a. external memory card).
Provide solid info then you will get more help that lead you to the right direction.

Maybe. Others have had problems using an internal reader. Just try a cheap usb card reader and see.

I have installed phiremod 7.2 on another nook color and it wants to close android.process.media. Force closes. And it doesn't have the status bar either. When I try to go to Play Store, it force closes android.process.media again. Any help?

...I had the cwm image on my 8gb sd.. correctly. BUT also had the ROM zip and GAPPS zip on the very same card! somehow the clockworkmod would get stuck. I started over with the cwm image on one card, and the zips on another one... worked fine then.

thats how i did it initially... i'd write the img to the sdcard, boot up in cwm no problem... take out the sdcard, format it, put the roms in the sdcard, then put the sdcard back in the NC... install the zips... installed fine... then massive force closes... i will try again, when i get home...

And we are using CWM 3.2.0.1...

do you mean that you can acess internal sd card from recovery mode ? , I have done factory reset and when I boot into recovery and chose apply update from external sd card , I only see files on my sd card not on the internal memory , but from the tab itself I can normally read files on the internal memory , the problem is only with the recovery mode

If im reading this right, you are selecting to install from ext sd which is telling the recovery to open the path to the ext sd card....IF you want to install from internal sd card select install from internal sd card in the recovery menu.
Or do you not have the option to access internal?
Edit; Just checked my device, and there is NO option to install from internal on stock recovery. Only external and cache. So I guess the tab is fine. Maybe, like me your just used to custom recoveries

I can understand why Sammy have prevented the install to and from internal sd. They don't want people accidentally deleting an important file or overwriting something then complaing that Samsung have created a dodgy product.
I'm so used to working with custom recoveries and have access all areas to the inner workings it feels odd to suddenly have only a few options available I unrooted my device to reinstall the latest jb update. Not sure I want to root again just yet, for the first time I have found a device that actually doesn't need rooted and custom roms to make it better. This device is almost perfect as is. Plus, touchwiz is actually turning out to be pretty fabtastic on these newer devices. NEVER thought I'd hear myself say that lol.

SD card mount problem in recovery

hi to all,
i have a problem with mounting sd card in recovery. I tried to change recovery (CWM--->TWRP) but every time i try to install a package it said "can't mount sd card" or something like that. I tried with other sd card (kingston, transcend, toshiba, a-date) and only a few works and I don't know why.
Can someone help me, please?
P.S.
I tried also with different file system but nothing

I have rittik v 2.0

use only cwm 5.0.2.7 .Its the only one with no bugs.Except that you have to reboot recovery before flashing a zip,but thats no big deal.

5.0.2.7 is pretty good but 6.0.1.5 (I think) has no problems.
Bronxitas posted a zip for a fixed 5.0.2.7
On to the top issue, try booting into recovery while plugged into a computer/power supply.
Take out the battery and sd card.
Then reboot recovery. Put in the sd card and battery.
Reboot recovery again. There.
Note: before you do this, check your mounts to make sure emmc and sdcard is enabled.

i had pretty major problems with 6.0.1.5 like not even recognizing my sd card! (16gb class 10)
And i think it uses a different folder structure than 5.0.2.7 when creating back ups.If i remember correctly someone was trying to restore or open a specific file from a 6.0.1.5 backup and he couldn't because of new compression method used or something?

You can change the backup selections as Pika said once in some option in 6.0.1.5 to restore the 5.0.2.7 backup but you have to change the way the restore is saved: tar, etc...

Yes and no, Class 4 and Class 10 are often the most common and recommended sd cards. Class 10 editions are newer to the market whereas class 4 has been here for a while. Class 10 achieves a faster R/W speed but class 4 is recommended for the novice user:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388408,00.asp
No one with the -51 reported any mounting errors. I would know if they did... Please don't assume anything unless you have one.
The hardware tree is virtually identical to the pro with the exception of wifi and bluetooth as well as processor.

I'm using TWRP since 15th April.
My sdcard jack was replaced on 18th April.
So.... I've tested "only" TWRP with the new jack.
Earlier (with the old jack) even TWRP also needed rebooting to actually read the sdcard..
My PC is not working, so I can't dare to test other recoveries.

No. First I inserted sd card but unfortunately it was corrupted so I had to remove it. Since phone wasn't accepting the SD card it never gave me option to set it as internal or portable storage. Internal was unavailable from the beginning itself however internal storage is accessible in Stock, beta 5 firmware . I also tried to re flash but no success.

Bcoz.... Flashing a ROM means install a new OS on the system(device). It format partitions and install whole OS on it.
Also boot time takes longer than usually for first time.

Hi,
I faced the same problem as you.
The solution that worked for me is...
You can set up the device's internal in settings-->Storage and USB
For the Card do this...
Go to the developers options and enable root access and local terminal.
Open the terminal app and type
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and hit enter. Allow root access.
Type
sm list-disks
Click to expand...

You should see the disk's name i.e. SD card. If you don't see it. Format your card as FAT32 from PC first and then try.
Now type
sm set-force-adoptable true

Wait for it... Now there should be a card ready to be set up in the notification bar.
