[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
Go ahead; I don't plan to. However, I am looking at automating the process by creating an "install.zip" that can be activated via ClockworkRecovery.

One of the problems with the scripts for internal dual boot, is that they use "parted" (partition editor) for resizing and creating partitions. Unfortunately, parted specifies partition boundaries in megabytes, while fdisk uses "cylinders". "Cylinders" is a fictitious concept on flash (and many hard disks as well), and is 8225280 bytes on the NC.

There's nothing wrong with using either on your system, although you may end up with small unusable gaps between partitions if you use both on the same disk. For example, the "prep-dualboot-0.1.zip" package leaves about 240MB of unused space at the end of my internal flash. If you want to create partitions that appear identical to B&N partitioning (in case of a warranty return), parted is probably not the way to go.

Of course, you can use parted in the internal dual boot scripts, and then use the process I documented for going back to a "B&N original" partitioning, and no one should be the wiser.

So, I'm looking at creating an "install.zip" that uses the known tools in busybox v1.17.2. That shouldn't be hard, but I need to do a little bit of investigation first. So, if there's someone who is willing to be a Guinea pig and can wait a day, that would be nice. At the worst, if what I create doesn't work, you can always fall back to the process I just documented.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDDD:
If anyone's looking to buy one but worried about the serial number, I just picked one up at Walmart today. I checked the serial numbers on the boxes and they were all well before 201146. The highest one was 201109xxxxx.

I picked up a serial number 201027xxxxx, and it had a system version of 1.0.1. So, Walmart would seem to be the place to find older units before the repartitioning and any other possible issues.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimbo67:
Thanks For The Info!!!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDDD:
No problem, glad the info might be useful. I was torn ordering one online not being able to know for sure what serial number I'd get, and I'm sure all the B&N stores would have new ones. Then I figured if anyone would still have older stock, it'd be Walmart.

I already have mine up and running with CM7, Netflix streaming, my Pocket Cloud VNC'ing into my work computer... this thing is really awesome. I'd almost go out and buy a second one just to have on hand.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
A little delay ...

Unfortunately, events have intervened, and so a "install.zip" is a couple days in the future, so if anyone is in a hurry, better go through the documented procedure.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfamily737:
LMAO....I just bought another Nook from Best Buy. Went out to the car and before I even left the parking lot, I turned it on and made sure I had...."Touch The Future of Reading".
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Mad Mule:
So Best Buy still has the "old" version of the NC? I assume you checked the serial number as well before you bought it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
Beta testers needed

OK, here are two files that are needed; they are installed in the usual manner using ClockworkRecovery installs. These are basically a copy of what I posted previously, but they are UNTESTED, so be prepared to go to the procedure I documented (or ask me for help) if you have problems.

Boot into ClockworkRecovery.

Repartition back to B&N 1.1 partitioning: http://www.mailpen.com/download/repartition1GBdata-v1.zip

REBOOT into ClockworkRecovery.

Reformat /data, /cache, and /media after any partitioning: http://www.mailpen.com/download/reformatData-v1.zip
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blindraccoon:
I stopped by a Best Buy in the area and they had at least 4 NCs that had serials beginning with 2010... I pick one up with a serial of 201066xxx and sure enough when I got the the car and turned it on and got "Touch The Future of Reading". Device info shows software version 1.1.0 and 5.00GB available storage.

So I scored?

BTW, if I did score and anybody is in the Dallas Metroplex and is interested, the BB I stopped at was at I635 and Midway.

I recently purchased a Nook and am looking to repartition it. If I go through with this process, id still be able to download apps to my sd card correct?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyr757:
What prep do I need to do before I flash this? Do I need to install busybox or anything, or is this just a flash and go thing like I'm hoping for?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
Busybox is included in the ZIP file where needed.

Of course, the standard caveats apply, as stated in the manual process:

You will lose the contents of /data, /cache, and /media (the FAT32 partition that is visible on the PC), so make sure you have backed up what you want to save.

You have ClockworkRecovery installed on the Nook.

All the usual non-warranties apply.

All that having been said, the first person to test this out gets special support from me (meaning I will try to respond to any messages quickly -- I'm retired, so I'm available most of the time).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinoOutWest:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TubeShaped:
so is repartitioning also needed to install cm7 to emmc? im confused because someone on the forums said he was able to install cm7 just by using a fixed cwm version. im asking because im receiving my new nc soon and all i want to do with it is to run cm7 from the internal sd card, no dual boot or what so ever.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinoOutWest:
I tried for 2 days to get CM7 on my new nook before finding out about this repartition issue. I've done 2 v.1.1 nooks and one of the earlier v1.2 nooks without any issues - so I am thinking you'll have to do this repartition thing to get cm7 on.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyr757:
You'll be able to run CM7 from an SD card with no issues. Just follow the instructions from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. Be sure to use a fairly quick (Class 4 or higher) decent sized (I'd say 6GB or higher) card by a decent manufacturer (San Disk). :)

There is NO internal SD card on the Nook Color, though, so you'll be booting from an EXTERNAL SD card. FYI.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
Hmm, at first I thought perhaps the busybox contained in the ZIP was too large, but you are not even getting to the point of extracting that.

You are using the procedure where you select "install from zip" and not the "install update.zip", right?

What version CWR?

Have you done other installs using CWR?

If necessary, I will create a ZIP for you (from a working script) that installs w/ CWR, but does nothing except display a message ...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
I was doing some research a few days ago and came across this. I dont know if it helps you or not. A poster on the Barnes and nobles forum wrote it.

Boot a rooted Android system in the external SD card slot:

Access the rooted OS command line prompt, using either ConnectBot or ADB.

Fire up "busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0"

Delete partition #8 (the /media partition).

Note the size of partition #7 (the cache partition), and delete it as well.

Delete partition #6 (the /data partition).

Recreate partition #6 (the /data partition), to the size you want (say 1GB).

Recreate partition #7 (the /cache partition), to the size﻿ noted in step #5.

Recreate partition #8 (the /media partition), to occupy the remainder of the space.

Remove the SDcard and reboot.﻿

When the NC boots its native system, it will recreate (just like a factory reset), the contents of the resized partitions. Yes, you will have to reregister. Of course, the same process, but with a different number in step #7, can give you more app space.

This is easily scriptable as well, and I fully expect such scripts.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
Argghh ...

Apparently CWR parses the entire script file before starting, and I had a couple typos (missing commas).

So is it working now?!?!?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyr757:
If you're running from the internal EMMC, then yes, follow your link. If you're running from the SD card, then follow the link I posted, but if you have one of the newer Nook Colors (with the partitioning nightmare), you'll have to go through this thread and partition the thing before being able to put CM7 on it, otherwise you can only run CM7 from an SD card, and not the EMMC.

I think my confusion was that you posted about EMMC, then followed with something about an internal SD Card. There is an SD Card that is removable on the Nook Color, and some people don't realize that. Just wanted to make sure! :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josercoaster:
That was intresting.

I had loaded CM7 pheirmod to my nook via emmc. Bought it friday the first one was a 1.1 not updated had 5G of memory available.

Had to exchange it as it was nolonger charging the next day, picked up a 1.2 nook with green dot, but had also 5g of memory avilable.

I was able to root it via SD CWR and Manualnooter.

installed CM7 over the weekend via emmc.

Thought that maybe both nooks I had was the new partition I did the the scrip loaded via CWR and it was sucessful. Though when I checked the system again I still had the 5gigs available.

Im thinking maybe some 1.2's with a green dot didnt have the new partition?

In anycase the script does work atleast it did not throw me errors when I ran it through CWR.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 21q:
Hey all. A bit of an issue.

Starting out I had fresh install of .83. Came like that with the phone. I first used gingerbreak for root, ran gladenable that gave me sideloading, then I went and installed gingerblur 3.1. It's not until this morning that I noticed my phone is on .57 now? I got a message saying to update ota to .83. Can I just update(im assuming no)? Or what do I need to do? I didn't realize I would lose .83 though, wonder why that's not mentioned anywhere?

The only thing I did wrong in that whole setup was to press root in superoneclick. It never finished though, I had to force shutdown the application. And I dont think this would cause a downgrade.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roughriduz:

The basic principle of functionality should be equal clean across the board. It has to be the lack of a file or files that is preventing this. The hardware itself is VERY capable of working. This leads use to our conclusion...

I already had drmprovider.apk in my system folder, but did not have drmua.apk.

Tried adding this file and no dice.

Basically, if I already have the file, it will remain untouched. Anything else will be merged in, until it either works, or crashes the phone. I DO NOT SUGGEST OTHERS TRY THIS. I personally don't care, because I have insurance, under warranty, etc.

[HTC Inspire 4G] perryz:
Silverlight vs. Flash

This might not be relevant, but was worth a thought and a post.

Sometime back, Netflix was purely Flash. Then they made a switch to silverlight if you volunteered. Once you made the switch, you could not go back to flash.

I do not know if they still have customers running the flash players and perhaps those are the ones successfully getting video?

Maybe a little looking into silverlight might uncover something?

FWIW,
