I'm hoping someone can help me here. I walked through verygreen's process on my friends SanDisk 16GB Class 4 microSD card and everything seems to work okay. But on two seperate occasions something happens to the microSD card and it seems to be corrupted. Also, these are two different cards.

The first instance seems to be good. The CM7 boot badge pops up, and then the skateboarding Android shows up and the arrow just turns and turns and turns and never pops up. It was left sitting for over 10 minutes and nothing. Put the microSD card back into the computer it asks if I want to format it.

On another occasion it installed fine, installed Netflix and Hulu and then shut down, bounced into the regular NOOKcolor OS (be removing the microSD card) and then shut down. Then popped the microSD card back in and it gets to the Android on the skateboard and it just loads, the arrow twirls and twirls and never loads.

Any ideas? I really appreciate the feedback.
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
How are you removing and installing the uSD? Is the NC powered down?

Did all of the uSDs work properly at one time?

You can use the Boot menu to load the native Nook interface. No need to remove the uSD.

I'm much more tech savvy than my friend. Not that booting while holding down N is tech savvy. I'm using the term friend loosely, he's an older guy who likes tech but probably still has a Moto Razr. He tells me that he waits until it's shut down to remove it. My other friend isn't able to get it past the install phase of CM7. The very first boot after the CM7 nightly is added to the card it just sits there at the android on the skateboard and the arrow spins.

So in one case yes, it worked fine to begin with and in the second, no - it never worked.

SD card requires reformat after removal? What am I missing?

Guys I feel like I'm asking a really dumb question here. Thanks in advance for helping out!

I have an 8GB Class 4 Sandisk card, Fat32 formatted, used Windiskmgr to install 1.3 with CM7 and Google apps. Everything installs fine, but the minute I shut down and remove the card to put it back into my PC, it says it needs to be formatted. What am I missing?

FYI I have tried this with two very different cards and I get the same result so presumably it's me being the numpty rather than the cards misbehaving.... All I'm trying to do is install nightly updates or whatever... I'm technical with WinMo, iOs, but new to Android :)

Cheers

And thanks for all the great contributions to this work. Love it.:D

Try buying a cheap usb card reader... several internal/built-in card readers have issues reading the cards.

Card requires reformatting after first CM7 install

Thanks for the suggestion Dizzy. Updating my earlier response - I was too quick and you were too right... Different card reader this time did do the trick. Should have thought of that earlier... Doh!

Thanks mate!
[Nook Color Android Development] huntar:
Feeling stupid...

OK, I did have a functional CM7.0.3 booting from a 1.2.1 uboot image. Now I have a mostly useless install because when I boot, the skateboarder comes out, the arrow goes round and round, then stops and this all starts over again, but it never boots.

Is there a way to fix this? No method of booting into recovery works... I assume because I am on the 1.2.1 uboot image.

Would I be better off to upgrade to the 1.3 uboot image and install CM7.1.0 RC1? Does this combination work? Trying to only use CM7 off the uSD, so as not to mess up the NC stock image.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks! This ROM runs pretty smoothly when it boots... :)

Boot partition is way too small

OK, this post refers to a discussion a month ago, but is very much my problem.

This is the exact issue I am having. I have dual boot off of sd card, running CM7--way old version--and nook 1.2. THE ONLY partition that shows up on my xp machine (even after running Nook Color UMS and supposedly selecting partition 3 and partition 4 to mount in 1st and 2nd mount point...) is the boot partition which only has 14 mb of space left since it is only about 149 mb total. The 100 mb needed to copy cm7 update zip file does not exist in my boot partition.

The Nook Color only sees the boot partition and constantly gives me an error that the sd card is full.

Why can we not resize the boot partition--my sd card is 16 gig so why in the world is the boot partition so small?

Easeus Partition Master sees all four partitions but the only one that can be resized is 4 which is not the problem.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
You have to resize the boot partition before you put the uSD in the NC and create the other partitions.

(It's already been discussed in this thread. )

Does this still work with Nook 1.3?? I keep booting into install, but it never installs and shuts down.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Are you trying to install B&N 1.3 onto SD? if so... you must pay attention to the naming convention expected by the SASD installer.

If you mean B&N 1.3 on eMMC and installing CM7 (or other properly renamed ROM) onto SD then yes... it still works.

Need Help

I setup my memory card through WinImage to install size agnostic 1.3. I put CM7 Nightly #177 on my Boot partition of memory card and then put memory card in Nook and it installed and shutdown when completed. I turn on my Nook and it begins with the Read Forever Logo and boots off emmc... It doesn't even try to boot of the Memory card.... I noticed this after I updated my stock Nook on the emmc to B&N 1.3??? Any Ideas why my nook wont boot up Cyanogenmod boot able card? Before B&N 1.3 I would see the Cyanogenmod Logo and I could hold the home key to boot up the boot menu and select either memory card or Stock... But I can't get it too from the memory card? Any Ideas?

Thanks In Advance,

Jer

This is the same problem i had.
[Nook Color Android Development] smully1:
I still can not boot into CM7 after install. Everything looks like it installs correctly, but when I reboot, goes right in Stock 1.3. This has only happened since I upgraded stock to 1.3.
[Nook Color Android Development] dcharleyultra:
The only thing I can suggest is to try the

7.1.0 RC1 and see if that works for you, as that's what I'm using. I didn't experience any issues when I upgraded to BN 1.3, other than having to first remove CMR from the emmc.

Edit: Corrected CM version.

Just got Nook Color this week. Started with a 8gb card and got everything working and setup well. I would like to exchange the 8gb for a 16gb to hold movies and more stuff. Is there a short cut to this? Or do I have to go through the whole process of install image, copy and install os, then re-setup all my settings for the "tablet"? Maybe process the format image and copy and paste hopefully?

Any help is appreciated - took many hours to get it setup just right hoping to not have to spend many hours resetting it up just to get bigger card.

Thanks

Hi,

i wanted to restart Nookie, but when it comes to reboot Nookie stucks in a recovery menu. Nookie dont reboots any more but always runs in this silly menu (see attachted image).

I lfashed already n177 which installed properly and shuts down Nookie. But when it comes to boot the system i get the same picture.

What can i do now?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
Use the same program you used to create your SASD card... read the image from your 8 GB... Write it to your 16 GB... use MiniTool or Easeus Partition wizards to expand the 4th partition to use the remainder of the card.
[Nook Color Android Development] bossmansmith:
This is what i can do correct?

1. make card bootable (same as before

2. make image of old card (8gb)

3. write image of old card to new card (16gb)

4. after image written then go in and expand the 4th partition to max size

And this works? Will try tonight - thanks for info (if i missed something just let me know)

How to wipe battery stat?

I searched this thread about wiping caches, and I found references to files in /cache and /rom. The former contains the folders

dalvik-cache, dmesg, download, lost+found, recovery

and the latter contains

BCB (file), devconf (folder), log (folder), max17042.bin

I look inside these files and folder but I still can't anything that's related to battery stat. Any suggestion?

(I know that there are apps for calibrating battery stats...)

Clockwork Rom Manager

I have CM7 nightly running well on the SD card (thank you for the great work) and have just a quick question. Even if I run CM7 from the SD card, the Rom Manager only installs the Recovery onto the EMMC and not on the SD card. Does anyone knows how to get the Rom Manager to install itself on the SD card so that it can be used to wipe cache and update new CM7 release directly to the SD card. Right now, I still have to remove the SD card from the Nook Color, copy new release and then boot into recovery for the SD card installer to update the OS. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] Rugged96:
I'm not sure why i'm getting this error but I just finished booting to CM7 the first round and shut it off after setting up wifi.

I put my sd card back into my computer to copy over the GAAPS file and my PC tells me the card needs to be formatted.

how do i work around this?
[Nook Color Android Development] fastoy:
Try a different microSD card reader. Often that'll cure it.
[Nook Color Android Development] youbecha:
Also try rebooting your computer prior to putting the SD reader back in. Or try it on a different OS or Version of OS. When I first rooted my Nook, I had to attempt all sorts of combinations to get it done.

And if that doesn't work, unplug some of the unnecessary USB devices (I assume you have a USB card reader).

But I will admit, the CM7 mod was completely painless.
[Nook Color Android Development] ericjwaugh:
Two other ways to do it.

(1 - easier?)

Use Nook Color UMS

(2 - harder?)

Place the gapps file on the boot partition when you copy the rom zip.

Rename to gapps<blah>.zip.bak.

After you get CM up and running, mount the boot partition and rename the file. (I did this in terminal by

mkdir /sdcard/boot
mount /dev/block/mmc0blk1 /sdcard/boot

then use a file manager (or terminal) to rename the gapps file (take off the .bak)

Reboot into recovery and let it fly!

Don't want to screw up the wifes Nook but am looking at making it more functional, she hates when i tinker with things and if I'm reading this correct I would be booting and running off the uSd and not messing with the actual Nooks emmc right?

I've seen a few others post this

I'm either missing something, if so I can't see it.

B&N 1.3...

I use winimage to "flash" both a 4 and 16 gig sd card

Drop the -177 nightly onto it plus gapps

power off the nook

insert the sd card

power on the nook

both install, it powers off.

It then proceeds to boot from the emmc, not the sd card when I reboot.

*sometimes if I watch closely I do see a "no space left on device", but I'm not sure what point that's at because it scrolls by quickly.

I've used a PNY 4GB Class 4 and a SanDisk 16GB Class 4.

Walk is thru your steps, including what img you flashed and how you flashed it. What is your computer's OS?

Swyped from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk
[Nook Color Android Development] baddaybeav:
If that was meant for me I figured it out...

So at some point CM7 became too big to flash both gapps and cm7 together, so when it tried to extract the new bootrom it ran out of space and corrupted something.

so I did the same process again, without gapps and it installed without the space error. when it powered off I pulled the sd card, put gapps on it, then powered the nook on again (booted into CM7 correctly), then rebooted it into recovery and it installed gapps.

Might consider making the 100 meg boot partition a little bigger with CM7 growing like it did.

One advantage to making the boot partition that big is that if/when you boot to stock... it will see things on that partition... unless you root it and modify the file system mounts.

Hey all, I'm no longer booting from SD, but wanted to confirm something for people who ask for help elsewhere:

Do the latest SASDs use CM7's built-in multiboot menu? Is it present in the original image, or only after installing CM7 to the card?

If you're not sure, but have a SASD running a recent-ish nightly, you can test it by rebooting and holding 'n' (just 'n' not Power) during the earliest boot message ("Loading" or "CyanogenMod"). It's not at all tricky--it should tell you, "loading boot menu" right away. That would answer my first question, if not my second.

And it does take you into a boot menu where you can choose your Boot Device and Boot Method?

I thought it was the case, but I still see a lot of people directing others to use the 'rhythm method' (n + Power) to get into recovery, which everyone knows is not very effective ;)

How did you do this? I have been trying to do this using EASEUS Partition Master but it will not let me resize the boot partition larger.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
On windows... you have to do it before you boot it in the nook...

1. write the SASD

2. resize the "boot" partition

3. copy the files you want to install to SASD boot partition

4. put in nook and let it do its thing.
[Nook Color Android Development] hikersc:
Thank you. This approach worked perfectly with EASEUS Partition Master. I was missing the part about doing this before you boot it in the Nook. I had just assumed that the image already had the 4 partitions.

Another short question. Is the boot partition size limited to 2 Gb? It seems that I read that somewhere else. Just wanted to confirm.
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
I have never had it successfully boot with boot partition larger than 2 GB. Before the kernel update I couldn't get a 2 GB to boot. That's why I always recommended 1.75 before. I believe the 2 GB limit to be due to a 16 bit system.

always remember...

In particular my mp4 file with Video: avc1, 848x480 and Audio: mp4a, 48000Hz, 2Ch work great with it. No other player seems even close.

I side loaded mobo_1.0.129_v7_neon.apk however it would not work until I changed Default Using Soft-Decoding to a check mark. It does seem to work the best. I might have to restore Eclair and compare. Easiest to play files by using File Manager.

When you launch it the skip and next step buttons do not work, use back in android bar at the top, then use the tool icon at bottom to set Default Using Soft-Decoding to on. I think it is actually using hardware decoding even with this checkbox?
